Bella Monte Recovery Center — Desert Hot Springs, CA

Bella Monte Recovery Center is a sanctuary near Palm Springs where clients begin their journey toward freedom from alcohol, drugs, and co-occurring mental health disorders. Clients may start with a personalized detox program crafted by an addiction specialist before transitioning to residential care. Clients receive round-the-clock support in a structured, compassionate environment free from triggers and distractions. Their comprehensive approach, including individual and group therapy, holistic modalities, and experiential activities, addresses addiction and co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Bella Monte uses evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients understand and manage their mental health conditions. These therapies provide practical skills for coping with stress, regulating emotions, and improving relationships. In addition to traditional therapies, they offer holistic treatments such as yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices to promote overall well-being and help clients develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Going beyond trauma-informed care, Bella Monte provides trauma work to all clients weekly. They help clients safely unfold defenses, discover what is under the surface, and primarily use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to achieve this.
Bella Monte takes a personalized approach to aftercare, ensuring each client’s unique needs and circumstances are addressed. Through comprehensive assessments and collaboration with reputable outpatient facilities, they provide a seamless transition from inpatient to continued care.
