About Us | TGT Treatment | Addiction Treatment Center in Ontario

Our Story

A Legacy of Healing in Ontario

TGT Treatment was founded with a clear purpose: to build a treatment center in Ontario, California, that treats the whole person, not just the addiction. Our founders recognized that lasting recovery demands more than clinical intervention alone. It requires a safe physical environment, genuine human connection, and a structured path forward.

From our first day of operation, our facility at 1795 E Holt Blvd has served as a place of transformation for individuals and families throughout the Inland Empire and beyond. We built TGT Treatment to fill a critical gap in local care, combining hospital-grade medical protocols with the warmth of a supportive community setting.

Today, TGT Treatment stands as one of Ontario's trusted addiction treatment centers, offering a full continuum of care from medical detox through outpatient aftercare. Every clinical decision we make is guided by one question: what does this person need to build a life they no longer want to escape?

Our Approach

Evidence-Based Treatment Philosophy

TGT Treatment's approach integrates proven clinical methods with holistic therapies to address the physical, psychological, and emotional dimensions of addiction. Every treatment plan at our Ontario facility is individualized to each patient's unique needs.

Our Treatment Philosophy

At TGT Treatment, we believe addiction is a chronic medical condition that responds best to comprehensive, individualized care. Our on-site clinical team uses a biopsychosocial model, addressing the biological underpinnings of substance use disorders while simultaneously treating the psychological and social factors that sustain them.

Every patient admitted to our Ontario treatment center receives a thorough assessment by our medical and clinical staff. From that assessment, we build a treatment plan that combines the most effective evidence-based therapies with complementary holistic modalities tailored to each individual.

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all recovery. Our facility offers multiple levels of care so patients can transition seamlessly through the continuum of treatment as their needs evolve.

Recovery Stories

Voices of Recovery

Real stories from individuals and families whose lives were transformed at TGT Treatment in Ontario, California.

"Walking into TGT Treatment was the hardest thing I ever did, but the staff made it feel like coming home. From the moment I arrived at the facility in Ontario, I was treated with genuine respect. The residential program gave me structure, therapy that actually made sense, and friendships with people who understood what I was going through. I am over 14 months sober now and building a life I am proud of."

Marcus T.

Residential Treatment Program

"I came to TGT Treatment terrified of detox. The medical team monitored me around the clock and kept me as comfortable as possible through every stage of withdrawal. After detox, I transitioned right into their residential program without missing a beat. The seamless care at this Ontario facility is what kept me in treatment long enough to finally get better."

Jessica L.

Detox + Residential Treatment

"The IOP program at TGT Treatment let me keep working while still getting the intensive support I needed. I attended sessions at the center three evenings a week and had access to my counselor whenever things got difficult. The flexibility made all the difference for someone like me who could not take months off. Ontario is lucky to have a treatment center this good."

David R.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

"For years, I was self-medicating my anxiety and depression with alcohol. I did not even realize I had a dual diagnosis until the clinical team at TGT Treatment assessed me during intake. They treated both conditions simultaneously with individual therapy, medication management, and DBT groups. It was the first time in my life I felt like someone was treating the real me, not just the addiction. The team at this Ontario facility literally saved my life."

Stephanie W.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

"As a mother, watching my son struggle with addiction was devastating. When he finally agreed to get help, we chose TGT Treatment in Ontario. The family therapy sessions helped us understand how to support him without enabling. The staff kept us informed every step of the way. My son completed 90 days at the facility and he is a different person today. Thank you, TGT Treatment, for giving our family a second chance."
