Outpatient treatment for people coming from Buena Park

Our program is in Brea. If you live in Buena Park and you are trying to work out whether this is realistic, the two questions that usually matter are whether outpatient care fits your situation and whether you can get here. Both have real answers.

Who outpatient care tends to fit

Outpatient treatment means you live at home and come in for scheduled sessions. It tends to work for adults who are medically stable, who have somewhere safe to sleep, and who can hold a schedule week to week.

It asks something of you in return. You have to show up on the days you commit to, and you have to be honest about what is happening between sessions. That is the part people underestimate, more than the drive.

What the program includes

We offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Both are outpatient, and you live at home for both. PHP is the more intensive of the two in hours per week. Alongside those, the program includes individualized case management, weekly therapy, recovery and relapse-prevention education, and life-skills and wellness support. The work covers relapse prevention, coping skills, emotional regulation, communication, healthy relationships, boundaries, goal setting, wellness, independent living skills, and employment and community resources.

The therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, and 12-Step facilitation. Everything starts from an individualized assessment rather than a standard track.

What we do and do not provide

We do not provide detox, medical care for withdrawal, 24-hour care, or emergency care.

This matters before anything else, because stopping some substances on your own can be dangerous. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can cause seizures and other serious medical problems. If withdrawal is a real possibility for you, talk with a qualified medical provider about that part.

Not everyone needs detox before outpatient care. How much someone has been using does not decide it on its own; a clinical assessment does. Where medical care is needed first, it comes from a medical provider rather than from this program.

If you need help right now

Call 911 for a medical emergency or if someone is in immediate danger.

Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, for suicidal thoughts or emotional distress.

For withdrawal symptoms, or any other medical concern about stopping, contact a qualified medical provider or an emergency department. We are not a 24-hour program and we are not an emergency service.

If getting here is the hard part

If the program schedule and your week do not line up, say so early rather than trying to force it. Case management works on exactly this kind of problem. We do not provide transportation. The practical obstacles are usually the same ones: a shift that moves, a ride that falls through, childcare that only covers certain hours. Those are worth naming in the first conversation, because a schedule built around them tends to hold, and one built around a best-case week tends not to.

Telehealth

Telehealth is available for people located in California, using Zoom. It exists for exactly this reason: transportation, work hours, health and other barriers that make consistent in-person attendance hard. Whether a remote plan fits your situation is worked out with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

I want to stop drinking but I am afraid of withdrawal. Where do I start?

Start with a qualified medical provider. We do not provide detox or medical care for withdrawal, and alcohol withdrawal can be medically dangerous. Once that part is handled, outpatient treatment can follow, and you are welcome to ask us about it at any point.

Do I need to have already stopped using before I call?

No. An assessment is where the right level of care gets sorted out, and not everyone needs detox first. If a different level of care fits your situation better, that is what the assessment is for.

What if I need help outside your hours?

Call or text 988 for suicidal thoughts or emotional distress, and 911 for a medical emergency. For withdrawal symptoms, contact a qualified medical provider.

Where does in-person care happen?

In Brea. That is our one location, and people travel to it from across north Orange County. Telehealth is available for people located in California.

What does it cost?

Cost is insurance based and varies. The payment options listed as accepted are Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Tricare and private pay. What any individual plan actually covers is a separate question that depends on the plan itself, so ask us and we will talk it through.
