Long Term Recovery
Long term sober recovery requires a program designed for just that. At Oasis Treatment Center, we have been helping people recover for over 23 years and then follow up with our clients to help encourage a strong aftercare program. Oasis Treatment Center in Orange County California.
There is a better way to live. Addictions are an outgrowth of unhealthy choices and habits. Hope based on the realistic expectation that someone can and will change is a powerful and positive motivating force. We can build bridges across the span of our lives in many ways. At the Oasis Treatment Center, we demonstrate the basics of helping people identify and cope with the symptoms of their “dis-ease”. We educate our clients on post acute withdrawal and the dynamics of the detoxification process. We encourage healthy lifestyle habits to replace old behavioral patterns while directing our clients toward spirituality, open communication, and 12 step community support.
We value one on one counseling in order to assist them in identifying character flaws that could lead them back to active use. Individual treatment plans are prepared by licensed clinicians who have themselves overcome the grip of addiction. In order to fully address the dynamics of individual issues, we encourage family participation with the realization that they have been effected by the disease and deserve the education, group therapy, and support to ensure the healing process.
“Many people pray to overcome the will of a reluctant Higher Power, instead of taking hold of the willingness of a loving Higher Power”, for it is wise to pray for the future, but not to worry about it. We can’t live it until it becomes the present. The depth of our anxiety measures the distance we are from the truth. Sometimes we go along with things, not because we really want to, but because we don’t know what else to do. The insanity takes over, and no one has the wisdom or the courage to make the call. Remember, Change is going to be there whether we like it or not. If not now, when?

Learn More About Addiction at Oasis...
Alcohol
For most people who drink, alcohol is a pleasant accompaniment to social activities. Nonetheless, a large number of people get into serious trouble because of their drinking. Currently, nearly 14 million Americans—1 in every 13 adults—abuse alcohol or are alcoholic. Several million more adults engage in risky drinking that could lead to alcohol problems. These patterns include binge drinking and heavy drinking on a regular basis. In addition, 53 percent of men and women in the United States report that one or more of their close relatives have a drinking problem.
The consequences of alcohol misuse are serious—in many cases, life threatening. Heavy drinking can increase the risk for certain cancers, especially those of the liver, esophagus, throat, and larynx (voice box). Heavy drinking can also cause liver cirrhosis, immune system problems, brain damage, and harm to the fetus during pregnancy.In addition, drinking increases the risk of death from automobile crashes as well as recreational and on-the-job injuries. Furthermore, both homicides and suicides are more likely to be committed by persons who have been drinking.

Oasis Treatment featured on Oprah
Oasis has been featured many times on A & Intervention, in addition to being featured on Oprah.
Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug. The powdered, hydrochloride salt form of cocaine can be snorted or dissolved in water and injected. Crack is cocaine that has not been neutralized by an acid to make the hydrochloride salt. This form of cocaine comes in a rock crystal that can be heated and its vapors smoked. The term “crack” refers to the crackling sound heard when it is heated.
Regardless of how cocaine is used or how frequently, a user can experience acute cardiovascular or cerebrovascular emergencies, such as a heart attack or stroke, which could result in sudden death. Cocaine-related deaths are often a result of cardiac arrest or seizure followed by respiratory arrest. For more information please visit our site.

Dear Jim,
Last night the process with Becky was a very powerful and exhilarating experience. I was afraid she was going to choose going home after only two weeks. I truly believe that the reason for her decision to stay for two more weeks was directly related to theLord working through you. I have never met a man so dedicated to his work and thus his patients/clients as you. It was truly a bit of Divine intervention when I called Mr. Mercer and he introduced me to you. You were quick to return my call, even though your plate must have been running over with all that you have to do coupled with getting ready for a well earned vacation.
Our telephone conversation was most enlightening and right to the point. Jim, there is no way I can thank you for all your efforts and the efforts of Lindley, David and the rest of your staff. They are superb, world class, over the top and besides that they are darn good. The Good Lord too inspires them.
I know there are no guarantees in this business, but at least Becky is not taking off the cast after 12 days. I am praying that God will continue to guide her during her recovery. We'll take it a day at a time.
I look forward to working with you and Becky as she progresses. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I now see a path to regaining a beautiful daughter. Feel free to share this with Becky and be sure to tell her I love her very much and I am very proud of her decision. We will take good care of her kids as she regains her health.
Thank you (this just doesn't adequately express my feeling towards you & your staff.)
