Tucked away in Agoura Hills, Ohana Recovery Center is a residential addiction treatment program built specifically for women. It’s a good fit for anyone who needs more support than outpatient therapy can offer — especially women navigating substance use alongside anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other co-occurring conditions.
Ohana Recovery Center is the flagship women’s facility under AM Health Care — a place where clinical care, structure, and real community come together in a home-like setting.
At Ohana, treatment starts with medically supervised detox and residential care. Every woman who walks through our doors begins with a clinical assessment — a chance to review her substance use history, mental health, and any immediate medical needs. From there, we build a personalized treatment plan that includes individual therapy, group therapy, and evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT.
Women often experience addiction differently from men — different triggers, different patterns of use, and a different relationship to trauma. Research points to faster progression from first use to a diagnosable disorder (a pattern known as telescoping), greater physical health risks at lower levels of use, better treatment retention in settings that feel familiar and safe, and high rates of trauma history — more than 90% of women in substance use treatment report a history of physical and/or sexual trauma.
Withdrawal is hard, and we won’t pretend otherwise. But going through it with a clinical team monitoring vitals, adjusting care as needed, and keeping a woman as comfortable as possible is a very different experience than going it alone. Detox typically lasts anywhere from a few days to about a week, depending on the substance involved and the client’s health history.
From there, women move into residential treatment, where they live on-site — built around relapse prevention skills, emotional regulation and coping tools, individual and group therapy, and daily structure from meals to programming and rest. Program length varies by clinical need: some women need a shorter reset (around two weeks), others benefit from a longer stay (closer to 30 days).
Beyond residential care, AM Health Care’s network also offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), standard outpatient care, and sober living — including outpatient treatment options serving the Agoura area, for clients to step down care as they progress.
Most women who come to Ohana aren’t dealing with substance use alone. In many cases, there’s an underlying mental health condition, a trauma history, or both — often woven together so tightly that treating one without the other doesn’t hold. Roughly half of people with a substance use disorder will also meet criteria for a mental health condition at some point, which is why our dual diagnosis approach treats both together rather than in isolation.
No single therapy works for every woman, which is why Ohana draws on a range of evidence-based approaches and adjusts the mix to fit each client. Alongside CBT, DBT, and EMDR, treatment can include trauma-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, group and family therapy, and experiential and holistic approaches like mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy.
The clinical team revisits the right combination throughout treatment — as a woman progresses, or as new needs surface, the plan shifts with her.
The surrounding hills and open space give the property a sense of privacy that’s hard to find at a facility closer to the city center. It’s a quiet, residential setting, which is part of its appeal to women seeking distance from daily triggers without leaving Southern California.
Families can stay involved through visitation and family programming, without a long drive. Programming includes scheduled visitation, family therapy sessions, and education for loved ones. Our team also helps coordinate remote check-ins for families who can’t visit often.
Agoura Hills sits just off the 101 corridor — most of the San Fernando Valley and the Westside are within about 45 minutes to an hour’s drive, and it’s a similar distance from LAX. Local roots also mean local referral relationships: Ohana works with primary care providers and therapists throughout the Conejo Valley, so a woman coming from an existing provider can move into treatment without losing continuity of care.
Because coverage depends on the specific plan, the most reliable next step is a free, no-obligation insurance verification with our admissions team. Ohana Recovery Center works with most major insurance providers, and we can typically confirm benefits with a short call.
For women without insurance or limited coverage, private pay and payment plan options are also available. Reach out to admissions to talk through what’s realistic for your situation.

A women’s recovery center is a treatment facility designed specifically for women, built around the ways addiction, trauma, and mental health show up differently in women’s lives. At Ohana Recovery Center in Agoura Hills, that means a women-only residential setting, trauma-informed clinical care, and programming that accounts for the high rates of trauma history and the faster progression of substance use many women experience.
Length of stay depends on clinical need and what coverage allows. At Ohana, detox typically takes a few days to about a week, followed by residential treatment that ranges from a shorter two-week program to a stay closer to 30 days.
