About Ridgeback Recovery

At Ridgeback Recovery, our mission is to address the underlying causes of addictive behaviors and provide comprehensive support for individuals on their journey to recovery. We understand that many addictions and problematic behaviors stem from difficulties in managing intense emotions, triggers, and stressors. Our integrated approach combines therapy programs within our managed residential treatment facility to immerse our clients in the recovery process.
 
Located in Greater Palm Springs, California, our dedicated team of licensed therapists brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table. From certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSAT) to Somatic Experiencing (SE) practitioners, we offer a diverse range of therapeutic perspectives to meet each individual's unique needs.

Through therapeutic activities, counseling sessions, and informative lectures, we empower our clients with the knowledge and tools necessary to regain control of their lives. Our goal is to help individuals understand and overcome the negative effects of addiction while fostering personal growth and resilience.
