Surfing.

Here at South Orange County Detox and Treatment, we believe it is important to expose our clients to the beach and its therapeutic abilities to bring the clients closer to nature in order to give them an experience in the oceans tranquil and serene environment. Beach walks and meditations are a part of our weekly schedule because we believe it is important to allow the clients to get out of the facility and enjoy the natural surroundings that San Clemente has to offer. Surfing has always been a past time centered around spirituality and powers greater than the individual riding the wave.

Once finished with detox, we give clients the opportunity to surf. Surfing has always been a mystical experience and we have found that sharing this with others has always been a positive and moving experience. Surfing is not only great physical exercise, but it also strengthens ones mental being. There are many correlations between the ocean and addiction. The ocean is vast and powerful, with so much left unknown. It requires respect and appreciation. Tidal shifts, currents, and weather patterns can affect ocean conditions instantaneously and catch those off guard who are unable to adapt to such changes. Just as in addiction, complacency while surfing can be your biggest enemy. When surfers are able to adjust to certain conditions and make necessary changes, fear begins to dissipate. A love for the ocean will teach you how to become present, as nothing else matters other than catching that next wave.
