Costa Rica Recovery helps clients facing addiction heal in every aspect of their lives, especially those who have struggled with chronic relapse. Guided by trauma-informed therapists and clinicians in long-term recovery, their residential programs blend holistic therapies, medical support, and close-knit community care with a smaller capacity of just 10–18 clients to ensure personalized attention. Located downtown near medical facilities, they offer cost-effective treatment abroad with quick admissions, a commitment to privacy, and a private pay model with partial scholarships available quarterly.
Costa Rica Recovery offers 30-, 60-, and 90-day residential programs—shorter stays focus on building a strong foundation of recovery principles and healthy coping strategies, while extended programs provide the time and space to heal deeply, address underlying emotional challenges, and practice relapse prevention techniques. The 90-day option is especially transformative, helping clients solidify new neural pathways, break free from dysfunctional relationships, and prepare for a stable, fulfilling future. Beyond treatment, the program supports clients in rebuilding their lives—working through guilt, achieving acceptance, practicing forgiveness, and even planning for financial stability.
Costa Rica Recovery is located in the Rohrmoser neighborhood of San José, near the diplomatic district, giving clients access to the local recovery community. The center offers a classic Costa Rican home environment—warm and welcoming rather than overly fancy—with shared bedrooms and plenty of open social spaces. A serene yoga shala provides room for meditation, reading, or quiet reflection, while a French chef prepares organic, homemade meals that nourish the body.
Lasting recovery means more than completing a program—it’s about preparing for life after treatment. Throughout their stay, the team works closely with each person to create a plan that supports their next steps, whether that’s finding safe housing, returning to work, continuing therapy, or managing medications to ease anxiety and support stability. This process often includes connecting clients with AA or 12-Step meetings, setting up community resources, and ensuring they have the tools and confidence to maintain their progress.
