The Ho Tai Way – Recovery for Women’s approach focuses on education.
You can learn more about that here.
Our program structure focuses on:
- Psychotherapy–to get to the root causes of the addiction and to provide support for other mental health issues that are often present.
- Recovery–Recovery needs are unique to each person but we do provide a solid structure. We are an abstinence-based program and while you are in the program, we encourage you to participate in 12-step meetings and obtain a program sponsor. We firmly believe that the 12-step approach is a strong complement to our own program.
- Education–Life is about learning. So we take to the classroom and explore ideas and philosophies that will resonate with your life and help you reframe your experiences.
- Life skills–Addictions deplete us. We focus on learning basic day-to-day skills such as cleaning, cooking, balancing your bank account, paying bills, shopping, and other foundational skills to keep the basics from being their own set of stressors.

Our center is a comfortable home environment located in Orange County near the beach and South Coast Plaza. You won’t feel like you’re in a hospital or clinic. Once you’re through your detox process, you’ll be welcome to join us on trips to the beach, the mall, and movie theaters.
We have room for six adults at one time. We want to make sure we concentrate on each individual currently in the recovery program. Our focus is on you, yet there are enough other residents around to make sure you have a community around you that supports each other.
Daily life fits into a pattern that will keep you moving from class to class throughout the day. You’ll be required to give a lot of yourself, but that’s how you grow.
Our weekdays start at 7 a.m., include chores and breakfast before group work begins. These continue through the day until 4 p.m. with a break at noon for lunch. The evenings will give time for homework, attending a 12-Step group, and a wind-down time before bed at 10 p.m.
On weekends, we’ll still have group work in the morning, but in the afternoons we’ll have other activities such as going to the beach, to the mall, or to the movies. Bedtimes are at 11 p.m.– giving you more personal time before you go to bed.
While you are still in Detox, you won’t participate in group or classes because you’ll be experiencing withdrawal symptoms and will sleep a lot those first few days. Once your symptoms start abating, you’ll be encouraged to participate in groups.

We all contribute to the well-being of our home through daily chores. We keep a clean and organized home so that you can focus on your treatment program.
No. Our program is not co-ed. We don’t house men and women in the same house. In our experience, having men and women in close quarters during this portion of the recovery program invites distractions that take the focus away from your recovery work.
Most people struggling with addiction have relationship issues. You’ll definitely be working on these in the program–but a new relationship in the midst of a treatment program often re-triggers relationship struggles that you are already trying to heal from. Boundary setting, communication, and impulse control are skills that are often weak at this stage of your recovery. A new relationship can jeopardize your whole program.
We want to keep things as simple as possible to give you the best shot at long-term success.
