Ask which level of care fits your situation first. If outpatient is the right fit, then work out what the trip would actually look like for you week to week.

Outpatient care in Brea, and what that means if you are reading this from Newport Beach
Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy is an adult outpatient substance use program based in Brea, in north Orange County. Outpatient means you live at home and come in for programming.
The useful question first is whether this level of care fits what is happening right now. Once that answer is yes, the practical questions about getting here are worth working through.

What this program does not provide
- No detox
- No medical care for withdrawal
- No 24-hour or overnight care
- No emergency care
Stopping some substances can carry medical risk, and withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines in particular can need medical supervision for some people. Whether that applies to you is a clinical question rather than a rule, and an assessment is what answers it. If there is any chance it applies, say it out loud when you call someone, whoever you call. It changes what they recommend.
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 withdrawal, contact a doctor or another qualified medical provider. We do not give tapering or medication instructions.
We are not a 24-hour or emergency service.

Who outpatient care tends to suit
Outpatient works when your days can hold it. You keep living at home. You come in on a schedule, and the rest of the week is yours to manage.
That structure asks something real of you: getting to sessions on the days they happen, and having somewhere to return to each night.
If you are in a medical situation that needs supervision, or you need care overnight, a different level of care is the honest answer, and it is worth finding that out on a phone call rather than three weeks in. Transportation, work hours, and an unsettled home are a different kind of problem. They are part of what an assessment looks at, and case management works on them with you rather than ruling you out.

What the program includes
- Partial hospitalization programming (PHP)
- Intensive outpatient programming (IOP)
- Weekly therapy
- Case management
- Recovery and relapse-prevention education
- Life-skills and wellness support
- Help connecting to community resources
Case management is a core part of the program here, not an add-on. It is the part of the work that deals with the practical tangle around treatment: what to do about the things that make showing up hard, and who else needs to be involved. The further the logistics stretch, the more that piece carries.
The program is small on purpose, which means more direct contact with the treatment team and room for the plan to change as your situation changes.
We use CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, 12-Step facilitation, and relapse prevention as approaches in the work. Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy has operated since 2013. It is DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether I need detox before an outpatient program?
That is a medical question, and it depends on what you have been using, how much, and for how long. Not everyone needs detox. A doctor or a medical detox provider can answer it for your situation, and withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines in particular can need medical supervision for some people. If you are unsure, ask a qualified medical provider before you enroll anywhere.
What happens if I start the program and it turns out to be the wrong level of care?
That comes up, and it is a conversation, not a failure. Bring it up as soon as you notice, whether that is in week one or later. Level of care is meant to be reassessed, not endured.
Can I do this by telehealth?
We offer telehealth for people located in California, using Zoom. Whether it fits your situation is a conversation, not a form answer.
