Adult outpatient treatment in Brea, and what state licensing means for Laguna Hills residents
Care happens in Brea, in north Orange County. That is where we see people in person, so if you live in Laguna Hills the real question is whether a program in another city fits your week.
This page covers what the program is, what it does not do, how to read the word "licensed," and where to turn if you need help today.

Who the program is for
Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy is an adult outpatient substance use treatment program. We have been operating since 2013.
Outpatient means you live at home and come in for scheduled sessions. It asks for regular time in your week, and travel to Brea for anything in person. We also offer telehealth for people located in California, using Zoom.
What the program includes
- Partial hospitalization (PHP)
- Intensive outpatient (IOP)
- Weekly therapy
- Case management, which is central to how we work
- Recovery and relapse-prevention education
- Life-skills and wellness support
- Help connecting to community resources
The approaches we use include CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, 12-Step, and relapse prevention.
Case management is worth a sentence of its own. Lasting recovery is often affected by things outside the treatment room: work, housing, healthcare, transportation, and the support system around you. Our case management works on those alongside the therapy, rather than treating them as separate from it.
What we do not provide
No detox. No medical care for withdrawal. No 24-hour or overnight care. No emergency care.
Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines can be dangerous. That is a medical question, and it belongs with a medical provider, not with our program. If you are weighing outpatient care for yourself or someone else, that part comes first.
What "licensed" means in California
We are DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP. DHCS is the California Department of Health Care Services, the state agency that licenses alcohol and drug programs like ours.
In California, a license is the state's permission to operate, and that is the word that matches our record: licensed. Our program is also accredited by The Joint Commission, an independent, nonprofit accrediting organization.
If you are comparing programs, it is fair to ask each one which word applies to it and what that word covers. The two terms are not interchangeable, and any program should be able to tell you plainly which one it holds.
A license describes what a program is authorized to do. It is not a promise about how treatment will turn out, for us or for anyone else.
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.
We are not a 24-hour or emergency program, so please use those numbers rather than waiting to hear from us.
