30-Day Private Luxury Substance Abuse Recovery Retreat in Baja California Sur, Mexico

The programme starts with a supervised detox overseen by licensed medical professionals, on site, with clinical support available around the clock. Once that phase is complete, the focus shifts to psychological work: one-on-one psychotherapy with a psychologist runs throughout the stay, and every protocol is written for the individual rather than pulled from a standard template. You will not be handed a binder and a timetable that everyone else gets too.

The therapeutic side is broad. Somatic healing sessions, breathwork, yoga and meditation sit alongside nervous-system regulation work, plant medicine ceremonies, and sound and crystal therapy. The stated aim of these is to help you process stored trauma and rebuild a connection with your body — they are run by practitioners who specialise in each modality, not by a single generalist covering everything.

Outside the sessions, the days include hiking on the East Cape, snorkelling in the Sea of Cortés, and cooking classes with the resident chef. These are not filler. They are there to rebuild the kind of ordinary pleasure that early recovery tends to flatten, and to give structure to hours that would otherwise be unstructured. Meals are chef-prepared and nutrition-focused, and the kitchen works around dietary requirements.

What separates this from a clinical rehab facility is the setting and the degree of privacy. It is a high-end beach house, not a ward, and you are the only guest in your programme. A dedicated retreat leader stays with you for the full 30 days — facilitating sessions, coordinating the practitioner team, and providing steady company through the month. Because it is fully private, the schedule flexes: if a morning session needs to move or a particular modality is not working, it changes.

The property is Casa Kura Kura on East Cape Beach. Room configuration is confirmed at booking, with private rooms and upgrades available depending on what you want. Full travel directions and arrival logistics are shared once your booking is confirmed. The retreat is run by Amanecer Retreats, who operate several other customised programmes in Mexico, including burnout, grief and teen anxiety retreats.
