Pet-friendly rehab in California
For many people, worrying about who will care for a dog or cat is the reason they put off treatment. At Turning Point, you don’t have to choose between your recovery and your companion. Our pet-friendly rehab in Mission Viejo, Orange County, lets you bring your pet with you to residential treatment, with private rooms for you and your pet, a pet-friendly yard and a quiet, walk-safe neighborhood.
How bringing your pet to rehab works
- Tell admissions about your pet when you call, so we can plan your stay together.
- Talk through the details, such as vaccinations and health records, food and supplies, and a care plan for the hours you spend in therapy.
- Arrive together and settle into a private room with your pet at your side.
Why pets help in recovery
Pets offer comfort and routine during one of the hardest transitions of your life. Clients often find that having their pet with them:
- Reduces anxiety and feelings of loneliness
- Removes the guilt of leaving them behind
- Provides stress relief and a calming daily routine
- Builds responsibility, empathy and accountability
- Gives a powerful reason to stay engaged in treatment
Treatment while your pet is with you
Pet-friendly rehab is part of our residential inpatient program, with 30, 60 and 90-day options and medically supervised detox when needed. Treatment includes individual therapy, group therapy, holistic therapies and aftercare planning, the same individualized care every client receives.
