About Lakes Treatment Center Inc The Lakes Arlington

The Lakes Treatment Center in Hollister, California offers a full continuum of care — from medical detox through residential treatment and outpatient programming — for adults in Northern California navigating substance use and co-occurring disorders. CARF-accredited and family-owned, the center pairs clinical structure with lakeside therapeutic activities, serving couples, pregnant women, and court-ordered individuals with 24/7 onsite medical supervision and same-day admission.

Tucked in Hollister in San Benito County, The Lakes Treatment Center is a CARF-accredited, family-owned residential addiction treatment center serving Northern California. Operating around the clock every day of the week, it offers same-day admission and maintains nursing staff and onsite healthcare providers on-site at all hours — a level of medical accessibility that distinguishes it from many community-based programs. For people ready to commit to real, sustained recovery rather than a quick fix, The Lakes presents a continuum of care designed to carry clients from their first day through long-term sobriety.

The center's levels of care span the full recovery continuum: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. Medical detox is delivered under 24/7 medical supervision with onsite healthcare providers, providing a clinically supported foundation before clients transition into the residential phase. The outpatient program gives graduates and community members a structured step-down option, supporting the transition back to daily life without losing the treatment relationship.

Therapeutically, The Lakes integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices into its programming, grounding clinical work in approaches that build practical coping skills for long-term recovery. What sets the center apart is its use of lake activities as part of the therapeutic framework — an approach that connects physical engagement with the environment to the emotional work of recovery. Dual diagnosis and trauma/PTSD are core clinical specialties, reflecting an understanding that substance use rarely exists in isolation.

The Lakes specifically welcomes populations that many programs turn away: couples seeking to recover together, pregnant women who need specialized support, and court-ordered individuals completing mandated treatment. Aftercare planning and an alumni program provide continuity well beyond discharge, making the center a genuine long-term recovery partner. Private insurance and self-pay options are accepted, and the family-owned, locally-grown character of the organization means Northern California clients are working with a team rooted in the same communities they call home.

Medical Detox & Residential Treatment in Northern California

The Lakes Treatment Center provides medical detox as the entry point for clients who need supervised withdrawal management before engaging in the deeper work of residential treatment. With nursing staff on-site and onsite healthcare providers available around the clock, the detox phase is monitored continuously — a critical safeguard that allows clients to begin recovery on stable medical ground. Same-day admission means that when someone is ready, the door is open.

From detox, clients move into residential treatment at the Hollister facility, where the structured environment supports focused engagement in therapeutic programming. The residential setting removes the distractions and triggers of daily life, creating the conditions for the kind of deep personal work that recovery requires. For those who have completed residential care or who enter with lower-intensity needs, the outpatient program offers continued structure while allowing clients to reconnect with home and community.

Treating Trauma, Dual Diagnosis & Co-Occurring Disorders

A significant portion of people entering addiction treatment are carrying unaddressed trauma or managing mental health conditions alongside substance use. The Lakes Treatment Center specializes in both trauma/PTSD and co-occurring disorders — dual diagnosis treatment — recognizing that lasting recovery depends on treating the whole picture, not just the substance use in isolation. CBT and mindfulness practices are woven throughout the clinical program, giving clients practical skills to manage thoughts, emotions, and stress responses over the long term.

This integrated approach matters especially for populations like pregnant women and couples, who face distinct emotional and relational pressures during recovery. By building trauma-informed, dual diagnosis care into its core programming rather than treating it as a specialty add-on, The Lakes ensures that clients with complex presentations receive the depth of treatment their recovery actually requires.

Aftercare, Alumni & Long-Term Recovery Support

Completing residential treatment is a milestone, not a finish line. The Lakes Treatment Center maintains both an aftercare program and an alumni program, creating a structured bridge between the intensive residential phase and independent sober living. These programs reflect an understanding that the recovery community built during treatment is one of the most powerful protective factors a person can carry forward.

For families and partners engaged in the recovery process alongside their loved one, the center's willingness to work with couples in treatment is a meaningful differentiator. Recovery rarely happens in isolation from the people closest to us, and programming that accounts for those relationships supports more durable outcomes. Whether someone is stepping down from residential care, completing a court-ordered program, or looking to reinforce their sobriety through outpatient support, The Lakes offers continuity of connection to the recovery community.
