If you live in San Clemente, the first question worth answering is whether an adult outpatient program is the right shape of help for you. We are based in Brea, and we offer telehealth for people located in California. Ask whether telehealth fits your situation. For some people it works well and the distance stops mattering; for others, coming in person is the better answer. This page will help you work out which of those you are looking at.

Outpatient care is built for people who are living at home and keeping up with work, school, or family while they get treatment. You come in for sessions, then you go back to your own day.
That structure asks something of you. It asks that you can get through the hours between sessions without supervision, and that you can show up on a schedule for weeks, not days. If you read that and think it sounds thin for what you are dealing with right now, that is useful information. It probably means a different level of care is the place to start.
We use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, 12-Step work, and relapse prevention.
We are a small program by choice, which means more direct contact with the treatment team. We have been operating since 2013. We are an adult outpatient substance use treatment program, and we are DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP.
Programming covers the parts of recovery that show up in ordinary life: coping skills, emotional regulation, communication, boundaries and healthy relationships, goal setting, wellness, independent living, and employment and community resources.
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 you think you may need medical help to stop safely, talk with a doctor or another qualified medical provider before you start. Stopping some substances can carry medical risk for some people, and that is a medical question rather than a scheduling one. Not everyone needs that step, and an assessment is what tells you.
This is not a crisis service. 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.
We offer telehealth for people located in California, using Zoom.
Telehealth is not automatically the answer just because it removes a drive. Whether it works depends on what you need clinically, whether you have a private place to be during sessions, and what level of care makes sense for you. Those are things to talk through rather than assume, in either direction.
In-person care happens at our Brea program, in north Orange County.

That is the question to raise first when you ask about the program. It depends on what you are using, how your body responds when you stop, and what support you have around you. A clinical assessment is what settles it. If you may need medical help to stop safely, start with a doctor or another qualified medical provider.

You live at home and you come in for sessions on a set schedule, then return to your own day. PHP carries more hours in a week than IOP. It works best when you can hold to that schedule over weeks.
Cost depends on your coverage. The program accepts Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Tricare and private pay. What that means for your own out-of-pocket cost depends on your individual benefits, so ask us directly rather than relying on a number printed on a page.
