The Ho Tai Way - Recovery for Women is open and committed to providing critical addiction treatment. You won't see many recovery programs calling themselves "a recovery for women." While they claim to be about treating "mind, body, and spirit, " they often forget the mind in that equation, assuming that most Americans already know how to use their minds.
The Ho Tai Way - Recovery for Women is open and committed to providing critical addiction treatment. Dr. Serena Gupta is a devoted and skilled therapist, helping those in recovery achieve their goals and find purpose. Most addictions come along with other disorders like depression, eating disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.

Forever Grateful..............
I voluntarily checked into The Ho Tai Way's detox & residential program for my alcohol use disorder as well as my mental health challenges. At home, I was going to miss my two young daughters & my husband. Upon arrival at The Ho Tai Way, I was welcomed with open arms by 3 staff members who respectfully eased my fears and made me feel right at home.
One of the deciding factors for choosing The Ho Tai Way was the homey vibe I got from their website. When I arrived, that feeling not only became my reality, but also increased when I found out the have the most precious

My experience with the ho tai way was uncomfortable at first but eventually I got into the routine of being uncomfortable. I am glad I came to the ho tai because they taught me that growth is outside of your comfort zone. They taught me so much about what healthy boundaries look like, how to participate in and advocate for my own life, and how to verbalize my needs. Since being at the ho tai, I learned what it means to be vulnerable when it comes to expressing myself and my story. Everyday, we started out with a group that set our intentions for the day and allowed us to plan out our day. I am

Checked in for detox while I waited for another center to have a open bed. By the end of my detox, I wanted to stay there. They are absolutely amazing, staff is great, they care about you as an individual and not just what you have in your pocket. Highly recommended!

I don't really know where to start, but I had an amazing experience at this facility. It feels like home and the staff are all extremely welcoming. Vanessa and Bre helped me to break out of my shell and Dr. Gupta gave me space to open up. My favorite was the art group because it helped me to get in touch with my creativity that I thought I had lost because of my addiction. Another fun thing was the sandplay therapy session and dream analysis with Dr. Gupta, it allowed me to dig deeper and see things from a different perspective. I think that my experience with them was very transformative and has

Dear Ho Tai Way,
Thank you... I can't put into words how much I owe to y'all for saving my life twice now. I came through these doors about to die and you all nursed me back to health. Have gone 100% above and beyond to accommodate me, my health, and my needs. This is the only place I've ever felt safe. Not just in California, but in my life. Like ever. This place has truly been/felt like home to me and you guys made me feel like I was a part of something. Nothing in God's world happens by mistake.
I love you all

This place saved my life. It’s the most intimate, intense yet gentle, peaceful, loving inspiring place you could ever dream to get sober at. The staff, doctors, and therapists are so wise and the intimate setting allows therapy to be individualized. The setting is peaceful, clean, and has an easy vibe- but they will push you to grow. I couldn’t be more grateful to have landed at the Ho Tai Way. If you are considering recovery- this is where you want to go. Take it from this hopeless alcoholic who is happy and sober today.

Hands down the best place ever to go for treatment! If you really want to be able to work on yourself with no distractions this is the place to go! You get to feel safe, wanted, loved, and cared about here, there is nothing but genuine people all around you who do really care and want you to get better. Had it not been for the Ho Tai Way I wouldn't be where I am today. I found myself and I found my purpose and for that I am forever grateful to the amazing staff at this place. I love myself and life today and I can say that with 100% honesty. Thank you Serena, Mikel, and Dylan had it not been for

I spent 30 days at The Ho Tai Way and was very pleased with the support and knowledge i recieved. I have been in and out of many facilities and this place was hands down the best experience I have had. The food is wonderful and the staff truly cares about you and they want to see you succeed. The groups are small and intimate which I loved and was able to really Express my thoughts and feelings with no judgement. Dr. Gupta's 1 on 1s and the creative activities were the most beneficial to me as I was able to accomplish and finish something I started. I loved the 1 on 1s and learning new coping

I just completed a 30 day residential recovery program at The Ho Tai Way, and couldn't be happier with my results! I had reached my "bottom" when I decided to enter a treatment facility. I was terrified, broken, and lost because of years of severe alcohol abuse. I did some extensive research looking for a program, and finally checked myself into The Ho Tai Way. Mikel and Dr. Serena Gupta worked together as a solid team to make certain that I received the absolute best care available. Dr. Tucker met with me and prescribed medications to help with my severe detox, crippling withdraw symptoms

Extremely professional and credible care for detox and recovery. The clinical team led by Dr. Serena Gupta is warm and effective. Everyone wants to serve the patients in a clinically appropriate manner with a clear goal of recovery for each individual. The team differentiates itself from many others that only seek to fill beds and collect the money. At Ho Tai Way, there is genuine clinical integrity focused on recovery. Dr. Gupta and Mikel Carver were invaluable to our daughter's path to recovery. They have my unconditional support and endorsement.

I was ready, at the end of my rope. My kids moved out because they hated my drinking. I had anxiety and depression for two years and isolated myself. I never went out in the evenings because I don’t drink and drive, and by 5:00 I had several hours under my belt of drinking. The Ho Tai Way found me. There follow up with me after I first heard of them, checking in every few weeks to see how I was. If you believe in right time right place, or fate, it’s true. I called them on a Saturday night, beside myself,, telling them I was ready. I asked them to come the next morning, and Mikel, one of the
