Redwood Wellness CenterWhy Choose PHP Treatment in Mount Hermon, CA
Mount Hermon's location in the Santa Cruz Mountains makes it an ideal setting for intensive outpatient-level addiction care. The community's small size, forested surroundings, and distance from high-risk environments in larger cities allow you to focus fully on recovery during PHP. Whether you live in Mount Hermon itself or are traveling from nearby areas like Scotts Valley, Felton, or Boulder Creek, our program is easy to reach while still feeling like a retreat.
We understand the specific challenges facing residents of this mountain community—from limited local treatment options to the isolation that can complicate early recovery. Our PHP brings hospital-level clinical intensity to Mount Hermon, so you don't have to travel into Santa Cruz or over the hill to San Jose for quality care. With small group sizes, clinicians who know your story, and aftercare connections throughout the San Lorenzo Valley, you'll have continuous support close to home.
Nestled in the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Mount Hermon offers a uniquely peaceful setting for beginning recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides intensive, structured treatment while allowing you to return home or to supportive housing each evening.
PHP is often the right level of care for people stepping down from inpatient treatment or those who need more support than traditional outpatient programs provide. Our licensed clinicians deliver evidence-based therapies, medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, and individualized care plans—all surrounded by the calm of the Mount Hermon community.
