About Aurora Charter Oak Hospital

Aurora Charter Oak Hospital in Covina, California offers medical detox, residential treatment, and a full continuum of outpatient programs for adults, adolescents, and children across Southern California. The facility treats both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, with multilingual staff and acceptance of Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and private insurance.

Aurora Charter Oak Hospital is a substance use treatment facility located at 1161 East Covina Boulevard in Covina, CA, serving individuals and families throughout Southern California. Operating 24 hours a day with a capacity of 134, the center — known locally as Charter Oak Recovery Center — addresses substance abuse alongside serious psychiatric conditions, making it one of the few recovery centers in Los Angeles County equipped to treat both simultaneously under one roof.

The continuum of care at Aurora Charter Oak spans every major level of addiction treatment. Medical detox provides a supervised starting point for those entering recovery, followed by residential treatment and inpatient programming for those who need structured, round-the-clock support. For individuals stepping down from higher levels of care or beginning recovery from an outpatient setting, the facility offers a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and a standard outpatient program — covering the full arc of the recovery journey from initial stabilization through ongoing aftercare.

Therapeutic work at Aurora Charter Oak is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), two of the most widely studied approaches for treating both addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. The facility's gymnasium supports physical wellness as part of the recovery process. Treatment addresses not only substance abuse but also conditions including anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, self-harm, schizophrenia, and suicidal ideation — a scope that reflects the complex, dual-diagnosis reality many people in recovery face.

Aurora Charter Oak serves adults, adolescents, and children, including individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing. The facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and offers financial assistance — removing common barriers that prevent people from accessing residential treatment or sustained outpatient care. Services are available in English, Mandarin, German, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, and Farsi, ensuring that language is not a barrier for Southern California's diverse recovery community.

A Full Continuum of Addiction Treatment in Southern California

Aurora Charter Oak Hospital offers one of the broader continuums of substance abuse treatment available in the Covina area. The facility's levels of care begin with medical detox for those entering recovery and extend through residential treatment, inpatient programming, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and a standard outpatient program. This range means that a person can move through multiple stages of their recovery without having to transfer to an entirely different facility or rebuild trust with a new clinical team.

For families navigating the recovery process, this continuity matters. Whether a loved one is in the early days of detox or transitioning back to daily life through an outpatient program, Aurora Charter Oak's 134-bed facility remains a consistent resource. The center operates 24 hours a day, and its Charter Oak Recovery Center designation signals a long-term commitment to the Southern California recovery community.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Addressing Mental Health Alongside Substance Use

Aurora Charter Oak Hospital is structured to treat co-occurring disorders — the overlap of substance use with mental health conditions like depression, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. This dual-diagnosis capacity is a defining feature of the facility, distinguishing it from addiction programs that address only the substance use side of the equation. Clinicians work with both dimensions of a patient's experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

DBT in particular has strong research support for populations dealing with self-harm, suicidal ideation, and emotional dysregulation — conditions that appear explicitly in Aurora Charter Oak's treatment scope. For individuals and families who have struggled to find a residential treatment or outpatient program that takes mental health as seriously as addiction, this integrated approach represents a meaningful distinction in the Southern California treatment landscape.

Who Aurora Charter Oak Serves

The facility serves a notably broad population: adults, adolescents, and children, as well as individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Treatment is available in seven languages — English, Mandarin, German, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, and Farsi — reflecting the cultural and linguistic diversity of Los Angeles County. For families from communities where English is not the primary language, finding a recovery center that can communicate directly in a patient's native language is often a deciding factor in treatment engagement.

Payment access is equally broad. Aurora Charter Oak accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and provides financial assistance. For families researching residential treatment or sober living options, knowing that publicly funded insurance is accepted — alongside private coverage — opens the door to care that might otherwise seem out of reach.
