Oceánica

What Oceánica does

Oceánica is a Mexican non-profit rehabilitation center founded in 1993 and headquartered in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, that treats substance addictions, behavioral addictions, and co-occurring mental health disorders through a multidisciplinary, precision-medicine-based residential program. The clinic operates a single seaside facility at Cerritos Resort (Av. Ernesto Coppel Campaña 4924) and serves adults with alcohol, drug, and prescription medication dependencies, pathological gambling, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, grief, and dual pathology, along with their families. The legal entity is Programa de Desarrollo para el Bienestar Emocional, S.A. de C.V., structured as a Mexican corporation that reinvests 100% of profits into school-based prevention programs in Sinaloa. It holds CARF accreditation (described as unique among Mexican clinics), CONASAMA recognition, and NAATP listing in the US.

The clinical offering is organized as an integrated continuum of care: an in-house medical detoxification unit; a personalized residential treatment plan using DSM-5-based diagnostics and therapies including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, contingency management, and family therapy; a structured 5-day family program; a halfway-house step-down (Villa Pacífica); and an online psychotherapy service (Oceánica Conecta). A differentiated medical procedure is the subcutaneous implantation of sustained-release naltrexone pellets (approximately three-month controlled release) used to reduce cravings and prevent relapse in alcohol, cocaine, amphetamine-type stimulant, and opioid dependence. Complementary therapies include meditation, yoga, mindfulness, musicotherapy, and psychoeducational conferences.

Oceánica generates revenue through quote-based, per-episode fees across residential, outpatient, and online treatment programs, supported by per-procedure fees for naltrexone pellet implantation. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the oceanica.com.mx website, a dedicated US-facing oceanica-usa.com channel, WhatsApp Business, phone consultations, and embedded lead-capture forms, with a content-heavy digital funnel (SEO blog, YouTube, Spotify podcast, Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn/TikTok) feeding inbound consultative selling by health advisors. The organization employs 51-100 people, has operated continuously for 33+ years, and reports 8,437+ patient graduates and 12,655+ families served over its history.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• American Addiction Centers: Large US-based publicly listed addiction treatment network operating multiple residential facilities. Comparable on the substance use disorder treatment category and on pursuit of CARF-equivalent accreditation, but operates at significantly larger scale and with US-domiciled facilities rather than a single Mazatlán site.
• CRC Health Group (BayMark Health Services): Large US operator of opioid use disorder and addiction treatment programs, including medication-assisted treatment. Comparable on the addiction treatment category and on the use of pharmacotherapy (methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone) adjacent to Oceánica's naltrexone pellet offering, but operates as a multi-site US chain rather than a single-facility Mexican non-profit.

Regional players

• Aptitud Clínica (Grupo CTCA): Mexican mental health and addiction treatment operator with residential capacity. Comparable in offering integrated psychiatric and addiction care, but operating at a different price/positioning tier and geographic footprint than Oceánica's Mazatlán flagship.
• Clínica Nuevo Ser: Mexican addiction treatment provider operating residential and outpatient programs. Comparable to Oceánica as a domestic Mexican rehab clinic serving similar addiction and dual-diagnosis populations, but operating outside Sinaloa and without disclosed US cross-border infrastructure.
• Hazlo Bien (Centro de Rehabilitación): Mexico-based addiction rehabilitation provider combining residential treatment with prevention programs. Comparable on the prevention/community-outreach narrative and on serving a Spanish-speaking addiction population, though smaller scale than Oceánica's 33-year operation.
• Clínica Mier: Mexican mental health and addiction treatment clinic offering residential and outpatient services. Overlaps with Oceánica on dual-pathology treatment and on a Spanish-speaking patient base, though positioned at a different clinical and price tier.
• Centro de Rehabilitación Casa de la Vida: Mexico-based residential rehabilitation center treating substance use disorders. Directly comparable business model (residential rehab with multidisciplinary clinical team) and target patient population, though smaller scale and without Oceánica's CARF accreditation or US channel.
• Betel México: Network of faith-informed rehabilitation centers in Mexico serving adults with substance use disorders. Overlaps with Oceánica on residential addiction treatment and Spanish-language patient base, but competes on a different value proposition (community/faith-based) rather than premium CARF-accredited clinical care.
• Clínica Sierra Linda: Mexican residential psychiatric and addiction clinic serving middle- and upper-middle-class patients. Closely comparable on clinical model (multidisciplinary residential treatment) and target demographic, though without Oceánica's branded US-facing channel or naltrexone implant module.

Emerging players

• The Cabin Mexico: International (Asia-Pacific-origin) residential addiction treatment operator with Mexico presence, serving expatriate and upper-income patients. Comparable on premium residential rehab positioning and on treating cross-border patient flows, but operating at smaller scale and without Oceánica's CARF accreditation footprint.
