Outpatient treatment in Brea for people living in Lake Forest

Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy is an adult outpatient substance use treatment program. We operate in Brea, in north Orange County, and have been operating since 2013. We are DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP. If you live in Lake Forest, coming here means traveling to another part of the county. Before you work out whether that trip makes sense, it helps to know what the care itself involves.

What outpatient care asks of a week

Outpatient care means you live at home and come in for scheduled sessions. You travel in for those sessions and you are at home the rest of the week.

The program is small on purpose, with individualized case management at the center of it, alongside a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and therapy.

What that covers week to week: group work, individual sessions, case management, recovery and relapse-prevention education, life-skills and wellness support, and help connecting to community resources. The approaches used include CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, 12-Step facilitation, and relapse prevention.

What this program does not provide

Some situations call for a level of care that outpatient cannot give, and it is better to know that now than after a drive. We do not provide detox. We do not provide medical care for withdrawal. We do not provide 24-hour or overnight care. We do not provide emergency care.

If one of those is what you need right now, we are the wrong door, and we would rather say so plainly.

If you need help right now

If someone is in immediate danger or there is a medical emergency, call 911.

If you are having thoughts of suicide or you are in serious emotional distress, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

If you are worried about what happens to your body when you stop drinking or using, that is a medical question. Talk to a doctor or another qualified medical provider. Not everyone needs medical withdrawal care, and an assessment is what sorts that out.

Our program is not a crisis service and is not a 24-hour program.

Where the program is

Our program is based in Brea, in north Orange County, and people travel in from across the county and beyond.

Before committing to a schedule, it is worth looking at the days and times you would travel and asking whether you could keep doing it for the length of a program. That is a fair thing to work out up front, and it is a normal part of the first conversation.

If travel is the barrier

Telehealth is offered for people located in California, using Zoom. Raise it early if distance is the main problem.

Case management also exists partly for this. Transportation, work hours, and family obligations can get in the way of attendance, and here they are treated as part of the work rather than as your problem to solve before you get in touch.

Treatment options closer to home

Wanting care closer to home is a reasonable thing to want, and some people choose that. We do not rank providers or compare ourselves to them. What we can do is talk honestly about whether this program fits your week.
