What We Treat
Addiction Treatment in Brea, CA
Substance use often starts as a way to cope with stress or pain, until cravings for alcohol or drugs begin to control daily choices. Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy offers outpatient addiction treatment in Brea for adults who want to stop using while they live at home.
Through case management, our staff helps clients solve the practical problems that often lead to relapse. In therapy, clients practice new coping skills during the day and use them at home that same evening. We believe you already have the courage to change, and our team is here to help you find it.

Signs of Drug and Alcohol Addiction We Treat
Our team works with adults who recognize these signs in their own drinking or drug use. Many of them match the DSM-5 criteria clinicians use to identify a substance use disorder, and our outpatient program helps clients change these patterns before they cause lasting harm.
- Drinking or using drugs in larger amounts than planned, a sign of loss of control
- Failed attempts to reduce or quit
- Strong cravings for alcohol or a specific drug
- Needing a higher dose to feel the same effect, a sign of rising tolerance
- Feeling sick, shaky or anxious after stopping, a common sign of withdrawal
- Memory gaps or blackouts after drinking
- Mood swings or irritability when unable to drink or use
- Missing work, school or family duties
- Pulling away from friends and hobbies, leading to isolation
- Hiding how much or how often you drink or use
Substances We Treat
Each substance changes the brain in its own way, so therapy starts with the substance involved and the reasons behind its use. Clients who need medical detox complete it with a medical provider first, then begin drug addiction treatment with us.
Alcohol Addiction
Heavy drinking hides easily because alcohol is legal and common at social events. Alcohol addiction treatment here focuses on what drives the drinking and helps adults find healthier ways to handle stress.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid addiction can begin with prescription painkillers like oxycodone or with illegal opioids, and fentanyl in fake pills now raises the overdose risk for every type of use. Our opioid addiction treatment uses individual and group therapy to help clients manage cravings and rebuild steady daily routines.
Meth Addiction
Methamphetamine use can disrupt sleep and mood for weeks after the last dose. Our meth addiction treatment matches therapy to each client’s mental health needs, using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to recognize triggers and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to manage intense emotions.
Benzodiazepine Addiction
Benzodiazepines such as Xanax, Valium, Klonopin and Ativan can create physical dependence even at prescribed doses. Once a client is medically stable, our benzodiazepine addiction treatment helps them manage the anxiety and sleep problems that often led to the use in the first place.
Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug misuse often starts with a valid prescription for sleep problems. Our prescription drug addiction treatment helps clients who misuse sleep medications or other sedatives understand how the habit formed and build safer ways to manage stress and rest.
Care for Addiction and Mental Health Together
Our therapists work on mental health and addiction together through dual diagnosis care. Many clients come to us with anxiety or depression, and some carry the effects of past trauma that can trigger cravings and relapse. Addressing these co-occurring disorders in the same program helps clients understand how their mood and their substance use affect each other.
With trauma-informed care, therapy moves at a pace that feels safe. Psychiatric care and medication stay with your current provider, and our staff coordinates with that provider when you give consent.
What to Expect in Outpatient Addiction Treatment
Outpatient addiction treatment at our program follows four stages, and each one has a clear purpose. Knowing what comes next helps clients feel prepared and more in control, especially in the first weeks. Each stage still adapts to the person, since every recovery looks different.
Step 1. Begin With a Clinical Assessment
Our clinician meets with each client to review substance use, physical health and recovery goals. We use that information to guide every decision about care.
Step 2. Set Recovery Goals Together
We work with each client to agree on a starting level of care and the recovery goals that matter most to them.
Step 3. Start Group and Individual Therapy
We begin group and individual sessions on a set schedule, focusing on the triggers and habits tied to each client’s drinking or drug use.
Step 4. Review Progress and Adjust Care
Our team reviews each client’s progress regularly. When needs shift, we change the level of care or therapy focus to match.
Levels of Care for Drug and Alcohol Addiction
We offer three levels of outpatient care, plus telehealth, so each client gets the right amount of support at each point in recovery.
Partial Hospitalization for Day Treatment
Daily treatment hours make the partial hospitalization program (PHP) the most intensive option. PHP suits adults who need the most support in early recovery.
Intensive Outpatient Program Alongside Work and Family
Clients with jobs or family duties often choose the intensive outpatient program (IOP), which meets on a set schedule with fewer weekly hours than PHP. That lighter schedule leaves room for work shifts and time at home.
Weekly Outpatient Therapy for Relapse Prevention
After PHP or IOP, weekly outpatient therapy keeps progress steady. Each therapy session strengthens life skills and helps clients notice early warning signs before a lapse turns into relapse. When clients are ready, we refer them to our partner practices, Radiant Path Therapy and Psychiatry or Foothill Behavioral Health Consultants, for ongoing care.
Telehealth Treatment From Home
Secure video sessions bring therapy home for adults with long work hours or health limits. Telehealth is available nationwide wherever state telehealth rules allow it.
Who We Help
Our program helps adults at many stages of recovery. Some are seeking help for the first time, while others return after a relapse and want a new approach. Many come to us after a stay in residential care and need steady support as they return to work and daily routines.
Some clients have few sober friends or little family support, and group sessions give them people who understand what early sobriety feels like. Others feel nervous about speaking in a group or worry about being judged, so individual sessions give them space to talk privately first.
Why Adults Choose Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy for Addiction Treatment
An intimate setting gives every client direct access to their treatment team, which matters most in the first months of recovery. Staff who know each client’s history notice changes quickly, such as missed sessions or rising cravings, and adjust treatment before problems grow. Clients who want a 12-Step approach can build it into their therapy plan and connect with a wider recovery community. When travel gets hard, telehealth keeps support steady between in-person sessions.
Since 2013, our program has focused only on substance use treatment for adults. Our IOP holds California DHCS license 300302AP, and our program is accredited by The Joint Commission.
Insurance Plans Accepted for Drug and Alcohol Rehab
Our program accepts Blue Shield and Cigna plans, and Aetna and TRICARE members can use their coverage here as well. Private pay is available for anyone without coverage. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan’s deductible and copay for substance use treatment, and our staff completes an insurance verification before your first session, so you know your costs before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is sobriety required before reaching out?
No. Many adults text us while they are still drinking or using, and our staff helps them decide whether detox should come first.
Is it safe to stop drinking alcohol suddenly?
No, not for long-term heavy drinkers, since withdrawal can cause seizures. Talk with a doctor before stopping, and call 911 for severe symptoms. Our outpatient program begins once detox is complete.
What is the difference between physical dependence and addiction?
Physical dependence means your body gets used to a substance, so you feel sick when you stop taking it. Addiction means you keep using even when it hurts your health, work or relationships. Someone can take a prescribed medicine every day and depend on it without being addicted. Our team can help you understand which one fits your situation.
Can treatment start again after a relapse?
Yes. Relapse is a common part of recovery, and returning clients restart care at the level of support they need now.
Can family members ask about treatment for a loved one?
Yes. Family members can contact our team with questions about a loved one. Our staff answers general questions about programs and insurance, and treatment details stay private unless the client gives written consent.
Do clients from other cities attend treatment here?
Yes. Adults from other cities can attend in person or join by telehealth. Our team helps each client choose the option that keeps sessions consistent.
If someone shows signs of an overdose, call 911. For thoughts of suicide or self-harm, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
