PHASE 1

Compound

Our Compound is a highly structured 90 day experience featuring unique Men & Womens’ houses with an emphasis on 12-step programming, located in Westlake Village, California. The Compound program emphasizes routine, foundational stability, family involvement, and clinical curriculum that aims to create self accountability. Clients do not keep their personal devices for the first two weeks of their stay nor do they have access to money or personal vehicles and are always accompanied by on-site staff.

Treatment

Our Treatment Center is home to our world class clinical program, where clients stay during the day and receive both individual and group therapy led by an incredible team of dedicated clinicians, counselors, psychotherapists, and experts. The majority of our staff has their own experience in recovery from addiction, which allows for an even deeper connection between the clients and the facilitators. Clients learn life skills, how to form healthy relationships with others, and how to overcome their addicition by addressing trauma, family dynamics, and their emotions.

PHASE 2

Men’s House

Brotherhood and independence are key tenents of the Men’s House. As clients develop a sense of independence, the element of peer accountability and support is not lost. Nestled in the sunny neighborhood of Old Agoura, clients are surrounded by stretches of nature & hiking trails, whilst in proximity to daily accommodations, eateries, and work opportunities the city is known to offer.

Women’s House

Our Women’s Sober Living, called Journey House is a highly structured and 12-Step based sober living. The energy of family and connection combined with mental and physical well-being is our main focus. Lead by a strong team of women who work and walk alongside guests in this brave mission towards a life that is productive and fulfilling.  Also located in Westlake Village in a spacious 13 bedroom home on a 1.5 acre property. 

PHASE 3

Care Management

Clients have established a sturdy foundation in our sober living and are ready to continue their sobriety journey independently surrounded by a vast support system of sober friends, mentors, alumni, and Oak Forest staff who have taken part in their journey from the very start. This is the magic and beauty of our program. The resources provided and developed by clients are indispensable and are accessible in perpetuity at no cost.

Family Education Night

Every Thursday @ 5 pm (PST)
Zoom Meeting

Do you have a loved one affected by the disease of addiction?

Dr. Patrick Lockwood
COO & Licensed Clinical
Psychologist (PSY29866)

Hosted by Oak Forest Recovery’s chief operating officer, Dr. Patrick Lockwood, family education night is a weekly online meeting designed to help people who have a loved one struggling with addiction to get some actual relief. It’s not a therapy session, you don’t have to sign any consent forms – we just want you to feel understood and gain some clarity on what the treatment process looks like.
Together, we’ll discuss topics ranging from addiction and mental health to treatment options and how to navigate crises.
