Is our Brea outpatient program realistic from Dana Point?

Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy is an adult outpatient substance use program in Brea, in north Orange County. The honest question from Dana Point is whether getting to Brea regularly is workable for you, and for some people it is not.

That does not mean you are out of options. Here is what our program actually is, what it does not do, and how to think about it if a closer program would fit your week better.

What our program is

We are an adult outpatient substance use treatment program, and we have been doing this work since 2013. You live at home and you come in for care.

The program includes a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), individualized case management, weekly therapy, recovery and relapse-prevention education, life-skills and wellness support, and help coordinating community resources.

Our credential is simple to state: DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP.

How the program works

Care begins with an individualized assessment of your needs, strengths, challenges and goals. From there the plan draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, relapse-prevention strategies and 12-Step facilitation. The program is small by design. That is what allows the team to stay attentive as someone's situation changes, and to adjust rather than move everyone along the same track.

What we do not provide

No detox. No medical care for withdrawal. No 24-hour or overnight care. No emergency care.

If withdrawal is the immediate concern, that is medical care, and a qualified medical provider is the better first call. Outpatient treatment can follow once that part is handled.

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 other medical concerns about stopping, contact a qualified medical provider or an emergency department. Our program is not a 24-hour program and not an emergency program.

Telehealth

We offer telehealth for people located in California, using Zoom. If distance is the problem, that is the honest thing to ask us about. Whether telehealth fits your situation depends on what you need, so it is worth asking.

If a closer program is the better fit

South Orange County has its own providers, and comparing a few is a sensible thing to do. Ask each program who it serves, what a normal week requires, and what it does not handle.

A program you can attend consistently does more good than one you cannot. If something nearer home fits your week better, that is the right answer, and we would rather you find it than force a schedule that will not hold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do this by telehealth from anywhere in California?

Telehealth is for people located in California, using Zoom. Outside California, no.

How does care begin?

With an individualized assessment of your needs, strengths, challenges and goals. The plan comes out of that rather than a standard track, and it is revisited as things change.

Is the drive from Dana Point worth it?

That is your call to make, and it depends on how the schedule lands in your week. What we would say is that a program you can reach consistently does more good than one you cannot. If the distance makes attendance shaky, telehealth or a closer provider is the more useful conversation.

What does treatment 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.
