Our program is in Brea, in north Orange County. Placentia is one of the communities we name in our service area.

Who this is a fit for, and who it is not

A fit: adults who need structured outpatient care and do not need 24-hour residential care.

Not a fit right now: anyone who needs detox, anyone who needs medical supervision to stop safely, anyone who needs overnight care, and anyone in an emergency.

We do not provide detox. We do not provide medical care for withdrawal. We are not a 24-hour program and we are not emergency care. Whether medical withdrawal care is needed first is a clinical question, not an automatic step, and it is one of the things an assessment is for.

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 stopping will do to your body, contact a doctor or another qualified medical provider. We do not give tapering or medication instructions.

We are not a 24-hour program and this page is not a crisis service.

What the program looks like week to week

Group work, individual sessions, and case management, on a set schedule, while you live at home. You come in for your scheduled sessions and you go home afterward.

The program includes a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP), weekly therapy, individualized 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. The program has operated since 2013 and is DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP. It is small on purpose, which means more direct contact with the treatment team and room for the plan to change as things change for you.

Working around transportation, work, and family

The barrier is rarely the wish to get better. It is the Tuesday afternoon, the second job, the person who has to be picked up at three.

Case management is the part of this program that treats those as clinical business rather than your private problem. It means working through the practical obstacles with you and helping connect you to community resources.

We do not provide transportation. We do treat these obstacles as part of the work, and they are a fair thing to raise in your first conversation with us rather than something to solve alone first.

Paying for treatment

Cost depends on coverage, so there is no single figure that would be accurate for everyone.

The options the program accepts are Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Tricare and private pay. That is what the program takes; it is not a statement about what any particular plan of yours covers or what your own share of the cost would be. Those depend on your individual benefits.

If cost is the thing holding you back, say so when you get in touch and ask directly. It is a normal question and a fair one to lead with.

That is common and it is not held against you. It is worth saying early, because what did and did not work last time shapes the plan this time.
