Alo House Recovery Centers are more than just a treatment center; we are a community. In our experience, active addiction tends to be a very lonely, isolated place. It is vital for someone new in recovery to build a community of people who they share a connection with. And this sense of community and connection is something we are proud to say we have created here at Alo. Furthermore, the community and bond that we foster between our current clients and alumni is probably the single most important way that we help our clients to see recovery as an attractive way of life, and as a viable alternative to drug and alcohol use. We strive to show our clients they can enjoy a life without drugs and alcohol. We believe it is incredibly important for someone new in recovery to have fun being sober, to experience joy and an elevated quality of life. Or else, the way we look at it is, why would they even bother? We provide a very compelling alternative to using, and a new way to achieve the sense of ease, comfort, and belonging that our clients were looking for with the aid of drugs and alcohol. Some activities our clients participate in together include the following: surfing, horseback riding, gardening, movie outings, baseball, creating music in a fully-equipped music studio, hiking, on-site yoga and guided meditation, as well as access to some of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California.
