If you live in La Palma and you're thinking about outpatient treatment

Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy is an adult outpatient program for substance use. Care happens in Brea, in north Orange County, and the program has been running since 2013. We are DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP.

La Palma sits in the same northern corner of the county, and people travel to Brea from across that area. Telehealth is also available for people located in California, so a regular drive is not the only way to take part.

What outpatient care asks of you

Outpatient care means you live at home and come to the program. Nothing moves into a facility with you. Your job, your family, your sleep and your week stay where they are, and care has to fit around them.

That is the trade. You keep showing up on the days you commit to while the rest of your life keeps running. It is a real ask, and it is better to look at it honestly before you start than three weeks in.

What the program includes

Adult outpatient treatment for substance use, which covers:

A partial hospitalization program (PHP)
An intensive outpatient program (IOP)
Weekly therapy
Individualized case management
Recovery and relapse-prevention education
Life-skills and wellness support
Help connecting to community resources

The approaches used include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, 12-Step facilitation, and relapse-prevention strategies.

Care begins with an individualized assessment of your needs, strengths, challenges and goals, and the plan is revisited as those change.

The program is small on purpose. A smaller setting means more direct contact with the treatment team and a plan shaped around your own situation rather than a fixed track. That describes how the program works. It is not a promise about how treatment will turn out.

What this program does not provide

This matters more than anything else on the page if you are in a hard spot right now. No detox. No medical care for withdrawal. No 24-hour or overnight care. No emergency care.

If withdrawal is part of the picture, that is a medical question for a qualified medical provider, and it is worth raising with one before or alongside outpatient care. Not everyone needs detox first. Which level of care fits comes out of a clinical assessment rather than a rule on a page.

If you need help right now

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

For suicidal thoughts or emotional distress, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

For withdrawal symptoms, or any other medical concern about stopping, contact a qualified medical provider or an emergency department.

This program is not a 24-hour program and not an emergency program, so please use those numbers rather than waiting on us.

Two ways to take part

In person in Brea, or by telehealth for people located in California, using Zoom.

If travel is the main thing standing in your way, say so early. Case management is part of how the program works, and practical obstacles like transportation, work hours and family responsibilities are treated as part of the conversation rather than something you have to solve alone before you call. We do not provide transportation.

Whether a mostly remote plan suits your situation depends on what you need, so it is worth asking about directly rather than deciding on your own that the program is out of reach.

Cost and insurance

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. If money is part of what is holding you back, raise it in the first conversation and we will talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does in-person care happen?

In Brea, at our single program. Telehealth is available for people located in California, using Zoom.

Can I take part from home?

Yes, if you are located in California. Sessions run over Zoom, and whether a remote plan suits your situation is worked out with you.

What if I need medical detox before an outpatient program?

That is a medical question and it belongs with a medical provider. We do not provide detox or medical care for withdrawal, and an outpatient program is not a substitute for either.

Is the program only for adults?

Yes. It is an adult outpatient substance use program.
