Welcome to The Key Addiction Treatment Center, a modern, evidence-based substance abuse treatment center in the heart of Capitola, CA. As a physician-owned and operated center, we take an individualized and holistic approach to addiction treatment that looks beyond substance use alone. Our programs include detox, residential treatment and housing, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), allowing clients to receive the appropriate level of support throughout different stages of recovery.
Our approach goes beyond detoxification to address the underlying factors that can contribute to alcohol and drug addiction, including mental health conditions, trauma, stress, relationships, and other challenges. Through individualized treatment plans and small group therapy, clients receive focused, personal support designed to help them build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
