Orange County Recovery Center

When you need addiction treatment, you want to find the best option for yourself or a loved one. Indeed, finding the right place is vital to success in recovery. Pacific Sands Orange County Recovery Center offers a safe and welcoming place for you to start your recovery journey.

Our programs and services are client-centered. In other words, we treat you like a person and not a number. In addition, we build connections among peers and staff in our recovery center. At Pacific Sands, you become a part of a community that will support you throughout your recovery.

Our Orange County recovery center offers several levels of care and programming. As a client-centered recovery center, we are here to meet you where you are in your recovery. Thus, we will support you from the first steps during detox through continuing care in outpatient therapy.

Our client-centered programs include:

Detox

Detox is the first step in recovery. During detox, your body and mind will adjust to no longer having drugs or alcohol. As a result, you might have uncomfortable or painful withdrawal symptoms. In extreme cases, these symptoms can even be life-threatening.

Therefore, our medical detox team will be with you 24/7 to manage withdrawal symptoms without complications. We will help you deal with both physical and psychological symptoms that occur during detox. After that, you will be ready to dive into the root causes of your addiction.

Residential Addiction Treatment

Residential addiction treatment at our Orange County recovery center immerses you in your treatment. That is to say, you will live in our center while going through your program. During resident treatment, you are free from outside distractions to focus solely on yourself and your recovery.

Residential addiction treatment is best if you need time to make changes in your life without the risk of relapse from triggers in everyday life. Most clients remain in our residential program for 90 to 120 days for the best results.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are best for those who need treatment with some freedom to fulfill work, school, or family duties. In addition, IOP is great if you’ve completed residential treatment and have a secure place to live during treatment.

IOP at Pacific Sands lasts about 90 days. You will attend sessions a few times a week for a few hours at a time. In this way, you still get intensive treatment with peer and clinical support. However, you can fit treatment around your schedule.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication assisted treatment (MAT) combines behavioral therapy with FDA-approved medications. You might first begin MAT during detox to help with withdrawal symptoms. After that, you might continue MAT, depending on your needs.

Alcohol and opioid addictions often result in the most challenging withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, MAT is usually best for these types of addictions. Moreover, you can reduce the risk of relapse and accidental overdose with MAT. 

12-Step Programming

A pillar of our recovery center is 12-Step programming. Throughout our various levels of care, we will use the principles of 12-Step recovery. As a result, you will be well-versed in 12-Step recovery upon leaving our program.

In short, we want to ensure you have the tools needed for lifelong recovery. By starting 12-Step programming with us, you can become acquainted with peer support groups. These support groups are accessible and free of charge with proven records of success. While we focus on 12-Step recovery, we want to encourage you to pursue any type of peer recovery program that will work for you.

Addiction Therapy

Addiction therapy is available during our residential and IOP programs. Therapy is effective at dealing with the underlying issues that cause addiction. For example, you might have anxiety during social situations and abuse alcohol to feel comfortable. Therefore, you can learn to manage your anxiety without alcohol to solve the underlying cause of alcohol addiction.

We provide both individual and group therapy. Some people feel comfortable sharing in a group setting, whereas others might be more reserved. However, many clients find a combination of both settings to be most effective.

Whether you are from Orange County or getting treatment out of town, our program offers several benefits. We hope to provide you with the best experience possible to get the results you deserve.

The following are the benefits of attending our Orange County recovery center:

• Safe from triggers and temptations of substance abuse
• Support from professionals as well as peers in recovery
• A more thorough understanding of your addiction
• Skills to prevent relapse
• Connection within the recovery community
• Opportunity to consider your addiction and its impact on your life
• Dual diagnosis treatment and psychotherapy

After your treatment, we encourage you to find aftercare services with 12-Step recovery or other support groups. In this way, you can continue to achieve your goals in recovery with a sense of community to remind you that you are not alone. Overall, we hope that our recovery center gives you the skills and resources needed for a successful lifelong recovery.
