Addiction Treatment Programs in Brea, CA

Each of our outpatient programs is a level of care built around how much support you need right now. PHP fills most of your week with treatment, while IOP frees time for work or family duties. Weekly individual therapy gives adults with milder substance use steady treatment without daily sessions.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program is our most structured level of outpatient care, with treatment filling most of the weekday. It often fits the first weeks home after detox or a residential stay, and case management starts right away on urgent needs such as housing.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our intensive outpatient program meets three hours a day, five days a week, in person or on Zoom, and clients usually move into it after PHP. Groups focus on communication and healthy relationships, since conflict at home often leads people back to drinking or using.

Weekly Outpatient Therapy

At this level, our outpatient therapy includes a weekly individual therapy session with one of our licensed therapists, so treatment continues alongside work and family life. Sessions apply relapse prevention skills to the real problems you face as you live sober day to day, and case management stays available for job or housing needs.

Telehealth Sessions

Our telehealth outpatient program lets clients located in California join their sessions by Zoom when it is clinically appropriate and regulations permit. You need a phone or computer with a camera and a private space, and we help you get connected before your first session. Readers outside California can ask us for a referral.

Aftercare and Relapse Prevention Planning

Before discharge, you and our therapists write a relapse prevention plan. It names your triggers and highest-risk moments, like payday or a hard family visit, along with the coping skills you will use for each one. Our Case managers help you build a recovery support system in your community so the plan has real people behind it.

Every level of our outpatient substance abuse treatment includes the four services below. Clients in PHP receive them more often than clients in weekly outpatient care.

Therapy and Group Support

In group therapy, you practice mindfulness and distress tolerance skills, like staying calm through a craving until it passes or refusing a drink at a work event. Our therapists use CBT and DBT skills in sessions, and groups also draw on 12-Step principles. In your first groups, you can listen before you share. Private sessions give you room to work on what you would rather not say in front of others.

Case Management and Recovery Resources

Through case management, we help you find transportation and housing resources. We also link you with healthcare and job supports in your community, and we help parents find childcare so they can attend sessions.

Medication and Psychiatric Coordination

Clients on medication-assisted treatment (MAT), such as Suboxone (buprenorphine) or Vivitrol, can be considered for admission after clinical review. The same applies to prescribed ADHD medication. We coordinate with your prescriber and help you access psychiatric evaluations and medication management. We do not prescribe, and any medication choice stays between you and your prescriber.

Screening and Overdose Safety

Drug and alcohol screening is part of treatment planning. It helps us see when you need more support, not to punish you, and results stay part of your confidential treatment record. You and your family also receive naloxone education and training, and we build an overdose safety plan, since tolerance drops quickly after time without use.

Some clients first drank or used drugs to quiet anxiety,trauma or painful memories. Therapists support these co-occurring disorders in the same sessions, with a focus on emotional regulation. Clients who need a dual diagnosis treatment program also get coordinated psychiatric care and referrals when a condition needs more than outpatient support.

We have provided outpatient care since 2013, and our IOP holds California DHCS license 300302AP along with Joint Commission accreditation for our program. Clinical Director Tiffany Komba (LMFT) oversees every treatment plan, and licensed therapists and certified addiction counselors lead your sessions. Clients speak with this team directly.

Every level of care comes with individualized addiction treatment, built around your own goals and substance use history. Clients who relapsed after treatment elsewhere or with us before are welcome back without judgment, and every session follows a trauma-informed approach.

1. Free Confidential Call

You tell us what is happening in your own words. You do not need a diagnosis, the right terms or a crisis to call. We ask a few questions about your use and your safety, and the call costs nothing.

2. Insurance Benefits Review

We accept Blue Shield plans. Aetna and Cigna are also accepted, along with Tricare for service members and military families, and private pay is available. Admissions reviews your benefits, explains out-of-pocket costs such as copays and deductibles, and coordinates any prior authorization your plan requires before treatment begins. Your plan may need to approve each level of care, so we check coverage before every move between programs.

3. Clinical Assessment and Program Placement

The assessment starts with a biopsychosocial evaluation (a review of your health, mental health and life situation). DSM-5 criteria help us understand your substance use. The ASAM Criteria (a standard guide for matching people to a level of care) then shape our recommendation for PHP, IOP or weekly therapy.

4. Program Start and Ongoing Reassessment

On your first day, you meet the team and agree on an individualized treatment plan with our therapists. We reassess you during treatment and adjust your level as you gain stability. Missed sessions can be rescheduled with our team.
