What We Treat
Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy offers opioid addiction treatment in Brea for adults who need outpatient care while they sleep in their own beds each night. Many clients come to us after pain pills that once eased an injury turned into pills they needed just to feel normal at work or at home.
Our team treats prescription painkiller and synthetic opioid use with evidence-based therapy and hands-on case management. Most clients start with us after detox, and clients with no withdrawal risk can begin right after their assessment. Everyone who contacts us receives respect, honest answers and a clear plan for recovery.

We provide opioid use disorder treatment for adults who keep taking pain pills or fentanyl after these drugs start to harm their health or daily life. The outpatient program in Orange County helps clients who misuse prescription opioids or lab-made versions. Adults seeking opiate addiction treatment for drugs such as morphine and codeine also receive care here.
Adults who misuse pain pills or fentanyl despite harm to their health can receive opioid use disorder treatment. Clients using poppy-based drugs like morphine or codeine also get opiate addiction treatment in our outpatient program.
We treat addiction to fentanyl and other man-made opioids, which come from chemicals instead of plants. Many clients first took fentanyl without knowing it was in street pills. Our therapists help them handle strong cravings and plan safer days.
We serve adults whose opioid use began with real pain, as well as those who started with pills bought without a prescription. Many clients first took opioids exactly as a doctor prescribed and feel ashamed that their use slowly increased. We see that path often, and we meet every client with respect instead of blame. For adults who still live with pain, our therapists teach ways to handle pain-related triggers without returning to opioid misuse. Veterans who first received pain medication for a service injury also find support here.
Some clients are trying treatment for the first time. Others completed a program before, used again, and want to know what will be different this time. For them, we look closely at what led to the last return to use and create a new plan around those triggers. Many clients also hold jobs or care for children, and our case management helps with work, housing and healthcare barriers that make recovery harder. Adults stepping down from detox or residential care are welcome to begin outpatient care with us.
Symptoms of opioid addiction often begin with needing a larger dose for the same effect and feeling sick when a dose runs late. Over time, opioid use takes up more of the day and causes problems at home or work. These common signs can help adults and their loved ones see when outpatient care may help.
Long-term use can slow breathing during sleep and lower mood over many months. Mixing opioids with alcohol or benzodiazepines raises overdose risk because each one slows breathing.
Our team treats both physical dependence and opioid addiction, and our assessment shows which one each client faces. Dependence means the body reacts with withdrawal when opioids stop. Addiction adds strong cravings and continued use despite harm. Clients receive therapy for the addiction itself, along with practical help for the work and family problems that opioid use created.
We welcome adults who have just finished detox and need support for the next stage of recovery. Opioid withdrawal brings withdrawal symptoms such as muscle aches, sweating, diarrhea, anxiety and strong cravings. Many clients get through this stage at a medical detox program first, then begin outpatient care with us once their body feels stable.
The weeks after detox often bring new triggers at home, so we schedule an assessment soon after discharge. That early start gives clients therapy and structure while their recovery is still new.
Our opioid treatment process follows four clear steps, from the first conversation to regular progress reviews. Each step focuses on the client’s opioid history and recovery goals, so clients always know what comes next and feel supported along the way.
We ask which opioids you used, how often you used them and if you completed detox. This conversation also covers your health and work needs.
Together, we name the situations and feelings that lead to opioid use. Your plan sets recovery goals and matches you with a fitting level of care.
You attend therapy in person or by telehealth each week. Alongside therapy, case management solves practical problems with jobs or healthcare that affect recovery.
Your treatment team reviews your progress often and updates the plan as needs change. Care can move to fewer hours as you gain stability and confidence.
Outpatient treatment for opioid addiction lets adults attend therapy during the day and return home each evening. Our program offers four options, so clients can begin with more support and move to fewer hours as recovery grows. The same treatment team stays involved as clients move from one level to the next.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers the most structure in our program. Clients spend most of the day in therapy and skill groups, which helps people early in recovery or recently out of detox.
Several days a week, clients in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) meet for fewer hours than PHP. This level lets them return to more work or family duties while they keep practicing recovery skills.
Clients who have gained stability can continue with weekly outpatient therapy. Regular appointments with a therapist help them use coping skills in daily life and catch early warning signs of relapse.
Adults located anywhere in California can join sessions by telehealth from a private room at home. This option helps clients with transportation limits or tight work schedules stay in treatment each week.
Our program accepts Blue Shield and Cigna plans for outpatient opioid treatment. Clients with Aetna can also use their benefits here. Veterans and military families can use TRICARE to pay for care, and private pay is available for clients without insurance. Your cost depends on your plan’s deductible and copay. Our admissions team verifies your insurance and handles any prior authorization, then explains what your plan pays before your first session.
Our therapists use proven therapy methods to help clients handle cravings and prevent relapse. Clients attend individual sessions with a therapist and also take part in group therapy. Anyone who feels nervous about groups can talk through those feelings in individual sessions first, then join a group when they feel ready.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients notice the thoughts that come before a craving. Our therapists teach practical steps to question those thoughts and choose a safer action in the moment.
Our therapists use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients handle painful emotions that once led to opioid use. Clients practice skills for calming strong feelings and getting through hard moments without using.
We offer trauma-informed care for clients who first used opioids to numb painful memories. Our team creates a safe setting and moves at a pace each client can handle. This approach also supports clients living with anxiety or depression.
Each client creates a written relapse prevention plan with our therapist. The plan lists early warning signs and the exact steps to take when cravings return after a hard day.
Our program includes 12-Step principles for clients who want peer support in recovery. Community meetings add accountability between therapy sessions and give clients a support network that lasts after treatment ends.
We keep every client’s treatment private and share information with others only when they give written permission or the law requires it. Our program follows HIPAA for health records and 42 CFR Part 2, which adds stronger protection for substance use treatment records. You decide if your employer or family learns about your care.
Clients choose our program because they work with one treatment team from the first assessment through every level of care. That team gets to know each client’s history, so staff notice early changes and adjust the plan quickly.
Our case management helps clients return to work and reconnect with a primary care doctor for ongoing pain care. Our IOP holds California DHCS license 300302AP, our program is accredited by The Joint Commission, and we have provided outpatient substance use treatment in Orange County for more than a decade.
Our outpatient office welcomes clients from neighborhoods across the city and nearby North Orange County communities. Clients attend in person or join by telehealth wherever state rules allow it.
Clients often describe how opioid addiction treatment at Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy helped them stay steady after detox and plan safer days.
“The team coordinated with my Suboxone prescriber from the first week, so opioid addiction treatment worked alongside my medication. My sessions near Olinda Ranch felt organized and steady.” Ryan P. · Olinda Ranch
“Naloxone training was part of my opioid use disorder treatment, and my family learned it with me. We keep a kit at home in Pathfinder now.” Alicia M. · Pathfinder
“My therapist helped me plan for pain flare-ups without reaching for pills. Outpatient treatment for opioid addiction gave me those tools while I kept working near Glenbrook.” Thomas H. · Glenbrook
“A written relapse prevention plan from my opioid treatment named every warning sign and exact next step. I keep it on my phone and use it around Country Hills.” Nicole B. · Country Hills
Opioid addiction, also called opioid use disorder, is a treatable medical condition in which a person keeps using opioids despite harm. The brain starts to link opioids with relief, which creates strong cravings. Our outpatient program treats the condition with therapy and relapse prevention support.
Opiates come directly from the poppy plant, such as morphine and codeine. Opioids is the wider term, and it also includes man-made drugs like oxycodone and fentanyl. We treat addiction to both groups.
Yes. A person can start with a valid prescription after surgery and slowly need more pills to get the same relief. Our therapists help clients understand how that change happened and plan for pain in safer ways.
Yes, many adults recover from opioid addiction in outpatient care once they are medically stable. PHP gives daily structure to clients who need more support, and our assessment helps
Yes. Clients on Suboxone or methadone can join our program after a clinical review, and so can clients on Vivitrol. Our team coordinates care with your prescriber, who manages all dosing.
After a break, the body loses its tolerance, so a dose that once felt normal can slow breathing to a dangerous level. This risk peaks after detox or a hospital stay. Our relapse prevention planning prepares clients for this period with a written safety plan and naloxone training.
PHP offers more hours of treatment each day for about 30 days and supports clients who need close care early in recovery. IOP meets three hours a day, five days a week, so clients can return to work or family duties during therapy. We use the assessment to match each client to the right level.
Starting opioid addiction treatment soon after detox or a recent return to use gives you therapy and structure when cravings feel strongest.
