Why We Are Doing Things Differently
Highlands in Bloom (HiB) is a peaceful residential treatment center in Agoura Hills, California where people come to rest and reset – not just from what’s going on in their minds, but what’s going on in their bodies, too.
Hello, I’m one of the women who helped create Highlands in Bloom-something truly special and grounded in current clinical research.
Highlands in Bloom operates as a residential treatment center (RTC) – While many centers focus on mental health and addiction, we are the first of our kind to specialize in the connection between autoimmune conditions and emotional well-being. We built this space for people who hear, “your labs are normal,” but still feel something is wrong and want answers.
Our team embraces a comprehensive perspective, nurturing it with understanding and compassion.
What Is a Residential Treatment Center?
A residential treatment center is a licensed, state-approved facility where people stay temporarily to receive 24/7 therapeutic care. It is not a hospital and it is not a retreat — it is the goldilocks in between. A bridge between “I am surviving” and “I am ready to feel whole again.”
We proudly hold licenses from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), approval from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), and accreditation from JCAHO. We actively uphold the highest standards in safety, care, and clinical excellence.
Doctors, therapists, and loved ones often refer clients to Highlands in Bloom. Many people struggle to manage anxiety, depression, PTSD, and/ or trauma, while also dealing with cryptic physical symptoms – like fatigue, brain fog, and chronic pain.
Why We are Centering Autoimmune and Mental Health
Autoimmune conditions currently affect millions of people – and yet, they are left to manage alone, misunderstood and are misdiagnosed for years on end. This emotional toll of chronic illness can be devastating: Leading to anxiety, depression, fear, and burnout.
At Highlands in Bloom, we offer a peaceful residential treatment center led by experienced professionals. Our team draws from both personal and clinical experience to create meaningful impact.
Our program recognizes that the body and the mind are not separate. Researchers now recognize trauma, stress, and inflammation as a connective dilemma. We combine evidence-based therapies with integrative, holistic practices to support deep and lasting recovery.
