Passages Ventura, founded in 2009 by father-son duo Chris and Pax Prentiss, is a holistic addiction treatment center located in Ventura, California.

Passages offers a full continuum of care, including drug and alcohol detox, residential inpatient programs, outpatient treatment, and sober living homes. The residential program emphasizes holistic therapies such as massage, hypnotherapy, personal training, psychotherapy, spiritual counseling, and group activities including process groups, reintegration activities, and reiki. The beautiful Ventura campus features gardens, outdoor seating, and a fitness center to support wellness and recovery.
