What Makes Us Different

Every clinician on our team specializes in substance use treatment and the mental health concerns tied to it, so each group and individual session stays focused on recovery from alcohol and drug use.

An Intimate Treatment Setting

We keep our program intimate, so clients work with the same treatment team from PHP through the end of IOP. Because our clinicians know each person well, they notice early warning signs, recognize progress and adjust care as needs change.

Attentive case management

Recovery also depends on what happens outside the group. Our case management helps clients with healthcare access, employment, education, housing and community resources that affect stability.

In Person or by Telehealth

Clients can attend at our Brea office or join live sessions by secure Zoom. Both formats follow the same IOP schedule of three hours a day, five days a week, with structured group therapy, weekly individual therapy and case management. In-person clients complete drug screening on site, and Zoom clients use an approved local lab. Telehealth keeps care within reach for people without reliable transportation or with work and family duties.

Our Approach to Care

Care begins with a biopsychosocial evaluation, along with a review of substance use history and a mental health screening. We use DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and the ASAM Criteria to recommend the right level of care. Then we build a treatment plan around each client’s strengths, challenges and recovery goals.

Most clients start with about 30 days in PHP and step down to about 60 days in IOP, so the full program typically lasts about 90 days. Before IOP ends, we build a discharge plan and refer clients for weekly outpatient therapy with Radiant Path Therapy and Psychiatry or Foothill Behavioral Health. After discharge, we follow up to confirm that care has started.

Therapies we use

Our treatment draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, trauma-informed care, relapse prevention, and 12-Step principles, along with mindfulness, grounding, and distress-tolerance practices. These evidence-based methods help clients understand what drives their substance use and practice healthier ways to cope.

What treatment covers

Groups and individual sessions cover the practical side of recovery: coping skills, emotional regulation, communication, healthy relationships, boundaries, goal setting, wellness, and independent living. Clients also learn to recognize high-risk situations and build a support system they can rely on.

Meet Our Team

Every client works with a multidisciplinary team of licensed therapists and certified addiction counselors who collaborate on each treatment plan. Our clinical director, program director and group facilitator together bring 30 years of experience in addiction treatment. For psychiatric evaluation and medication management, we coordinate with qualified outside providers to keep care connected.

Tiffany Komba (LMFT), Clinical Director

Who We Serve

We treat adults 18 and older with substance use disorders who need structured outpatient care but not 24-hour residential treatment. We work with people who use alcohol, opioids, stimulants, cannabis, and other substances, including those who use more than one.

Our program is a strong fit for adults stepping down from detox or residential treatment, and for those whose trauma history or life circumstances make recovery more complicated. We also welcome adults who relapsed after treatment elsewhere or with us before.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you won't take it alone. Our admissions team will talk through your needs, check your insurance benefits, explain your options, and answer your questions, confidentially and without judgment.
