In most cases, no. If you are eligible for the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and have a qualifying health condition — including substance use disorder requiring treatment — you are generally protected from job loss during FMLA leave. FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per 12-month period for eligible employees.

Our admissions staff and case managers have extensive experience helping clients navigate FMLA, short-term disability, and educational leave of absence. We will guide you through the process step by step.

Yes. We welcome clients from across California and nationwide. Our admissions team provides travel assistance coordination as part of the intake process — we'll help you plan your arrival and make sure the transition to the ranch is as smooth as possible. Call (951) 577-2203 and we'll take care of the details.

The Hope Ranch offers 30, 60, and 90-day residential programs. We create individualized treatment plans for every client and can extend the length of stay as clinically appropriate. The right duration depends on your substance use history, medical needs, mental health factors, and personal recovery goals. Our clinical team will work with you on this from day one.

We combine evidence-based clinical therapies with holistic healing modalities and highly individualized care plans — because addiction affects every dimension of a person, and recovery must too.

• Evidence-based: CBT, DBT, trauma-informed therapy, narrative therapy, group and family therapy
• Holistic: Equine therapy, yoga, guided meditation, sound healing, Reiki, fitness
• Unique: The Purpose Project — a client-directed goal that restores identity and direction

Our founders have lived experience with addiction. That shapes everything — how we design our programs, how our staff interact with clients, and what we believe recovery actually requires.

We treat addiction to all major substances:

• Alcohol
• Opioids & Fentanyl
• Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Klonopin)
• Stimulants & Methamphetamine
• Cannabis / Marijuana
• Prescription medications (painkillers, sleeping pills, etc.)

Our Medical Director and clinical team have experience managing withdrawal and detox for all substance types. If you have questions about a specific substance, call us — (951) 577-2203.

It depends on the substance and your medical history. For alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids, medically supervised detox is typically required before residential programming can begin — because withdrawal from these substances can be medically dangerous. The good news: we offer medical detox on-site as part of a seamless continuum. You do not need to find a separate detox facility first. Our Medical Director will assess you upon admission and determine the right protocol.

The Purpose Project is a program unique to The Hope Ranch that invites every residential client to identify and pursue a meaningful personal goal during their time in treatment — building something, starting a garden, learning a new skill, creating something with their hands. It is clinically designed to restore identity, self-worth, and a sense of direction beyond addiction. Clients submit their own Purpose Project; our team supports them in bringing it to life.

Days at the ranch are structured, intentional, and varied. A typical day includes:

• Morning yoga or breathwork to start the day grounded
• Shared breakfast with peers
• Individual therapy with your primary therapist
• Group therapy sessions
• Equine therapy or Purpose Project time
• Holistic modalities (sound healing, meditation, Reiki, fitness)
• Evening meal and speaker meeting
• Personal wind-down, journaling, and reflection time

Individual schedules vary based on treatment phase and clinical plan. See our residential treatment page for a sample daily schedule.

Yes. Cell phone use is permitted at The Hope Ranch within set guidelines designed to support your recovery journey. We understand the importance of staying connected with loved ones — while also creating enough space from daily distractions for the therapeutic process to work. Full phone policies will be provided upon admission.

Yes. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas on the ranch property.

The Hope Ranch is a real working ranch — not a clinical hospital ward. Accommodations are designed to feel like a home rather than a facility. Clients live on our 10-acre property in Perris, California, surrounded by open land, horses, and nature. The setting is intentional: the environment itself is part of the treatment. Questions about specific accommodations are best answered by calling our admissions team at (951) 577-2203.

Yes — and they're part of the program. The Hope Ranch is home to horses, donkeys, goats, and chickens. Equine therapy is a formal part of our holistic treatment program, and interaction with the ranch animals is woven into daily life. Clients are not observers — they are participants in ranch life, and that participation is clinically meaningful.

Yes — this is a clinical specialty of ours. Nearly 50% of people with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring mental health condition. Treating only one while ignoring the other is a primary reason for relapse. Our dual diagnosis program treats addiction and mental health simultaneously, including:

• Depression & substance use disorder
• Anxiety & addiction
• PTSD & substance use disorder
• Bipolar disorder & drug or alcohol use
• Trauma-related disorders

Our program integrates a wide range of evidence-based and holistic modalities:

• Individual therapy (CBT, DBT, trauma-informed)
• Group therapy
• Family therapy
• Narrative therapy
• Equine therapy
• Yoga
• Guided meditation
• Sound healing
• Reiki
• Fitness & exercise
• The Purpose Project

See our Therapies & Modalities section for detailed information on each.

Yes. Medication-assisted treatment is available where clinically appropriate and managed by our Medical Director. MAT options such as buprenorphine may be used during opioid detox to ease withdrawal and reduce cravings. All medication decisions are individualized and medically supervised. Our team will discuss what is appropriate for your specific situation during the intake and assessment process.

Yes. Our Veterans Recovery Program is designed specifically for the unique challenges veterans face — combat trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, opioid dependence, and the transition from military to civilian life. The program uses trauma-informed care, peer support, dual diagnosis treatment, and family therapy, all within a ranch environment that many veterans find grounding and restorative.

Yes — and we actively encourage it. Family involvement is a core part of the Hope Ranch treatment philosophy. Visitation is scheduled in alignment with each client's treatment phase and clinical plan. Family therapy sessions begin during residential care, not after discharge. We also host monthly alumni and family events on the ranch. Full visitation guidelines will be outlined upon admission.

Yes. Family therapy is a formal component of our treatment program. Our family therapist works directly with clients and their loved ones to rebuild trust, improve communication, and create a home environment that supports long-term sobriety. Addiction fractures relationships — and recovery should rebuild them. We involve families from the beginning, not as an afterthought.

The best first step is to call us directly at (951) 577-2203. Our admissions team frequently works with families — not just the individual seeking treatment. We can walk you through how to start the conversation, what to expect, how insurance works, and how to support your loved one through the intake process. You don't have to figure this out alone.

Yes. The Hope Ranch hosts monthly alumni BBQs on the ranch property and speaker meetings open to alumni, current clients, and community members. The alumni network creates the kind of ongoing peer connection that supports long-term sobriety. The ranch is still your home after you leave.

The Hope Ranch Recovery Center is located at 25780 California Route 74, Perris, CA 92570, in Riverside County. We are approximately:

• 70 miles east of Los Angeles
• 60 miles north of San Diego
• 15 miles from Murrieta and Temecula
• 20 miles from Lake Elsinore

The secluded 10-acre ranch setting is intentional — it provides the peace, space, and distance from urban triggers that residential treatment requires.

Yes. We provide travel assistance coordination as part of the admissions process. Whether you're coming from within California or traveling from another state, our admissions team will help you plan your arrival. Call us and we'll take care of the logistics with you.
