Residential addiction treatment in San José, Costa Rica

Structure, warmth and clinical depth in the heart of Costa Rica

A residential treatment center in the Rohrmoser district of San José. Purposeful, warm and clinically serious. A place where real work happens every day and no one faces it alone.

What it feels like to be here

Serious work, made genuinely human

Bright sala at the San José residence, with pale-blue sofas, framed art on white walls and a planted atrium.

A place built for the work

San José Rohrmoser is a place built for the work. Structured enough to create real containment and safety. Warm enough to feel genuinely human. The clinical environment here is serious without being cold. Every person who arrives is met with care, assessed thoroughly and supported from the very first day.

Small enough to be a community

With a maximum of 18 patients, this is not a large institution. It is a community. Small enough that the team knows every patient by name, large enough to offer the full depth of CRTC's clinical program.

Intentional days, built around your treatment

Every day at San José is intentional. Your schedule is built around your individual treatment plan and evolves as your progress develops. The clinical program is comprehensive. Individual therapy, group work, psychiatric support, specialized sessions and holistic modalities woven through each week.

The setting

A discreet residence, ten minutes from the city's medical core

The home sits inside a quiet residential neighborhood. Gated, well kept, ordinary in the best way. Within a short drive: top private hospitals, specialty clinics, the international airport. Proximity makes complicated cases possible. It also makes early arrivals easy on tired families.

Why San José

The heart of Costa Rica, a world from home

San José is the heart of Costa Rica. Being here places you in a world that is genuinely different from home. Different rhythms, different air, different relationships. The therapeutic distance from your usual environment is real, even in an urban setting.

A residential, secure district

Rohrmoser is one of San José's most residential and secure districts. The center is embedded in this community, close to everything the city offers while remaining a protected, focused space for recovery.

Simple arrival

San José International Airport serves direct flights from major US and Canadian cities. Getting here is simple. Our team handles arrival from the moment you land.

A safe base for reintegration

The urban setting of Rohrmoser means the city is present but the center itself is a contained, safe environment. Real-world reintegration happens gradually and with full clinical support. Patients practice recovery while still supported, not after they leave. One of the most important parts of the CRTC philosophy.

  • Full access to CRTC × VINOVA Integrative Recovery services throughout your stay.
  • Airport transfer arranged for your arrival, so the first day asks nothing of you.

Your stay

A place to live the work

  • Shared and private room options, each kept calm and uncluttered, with space to retreat between sessions.
  • Every meal prepared fresh on site, so eating well is one less thing to think about.
  • Courtyards, a planted atrium and shaded garden seating, open to every resident through the day.
The people here

One team, across both centers

The same multidisciplinary team that defines CRTC works across both centers.

Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, addiction counselors, nurses, occupational therapists, yoga instructors, forest therapists and support staff. At San José the team works within a structured daily program designed to provide consistency, safety and genuine clinical depth at every stage of treatment.
