Orange County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services

Our inpatient rehab center in Orange County offers several levels of care and programming. As a client-centered recovery center, we are here to meet people where they are in their recovery. Thus, we will support them 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, the body and mind will adjust to no longer having drugs or alcohol. As a result, people might have uncomfortable or painful withdrawal symptoms. In extreme cases, these symptoms can even be life-threatening.

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

Residential Addiction Treatment

Also known as inpatient rehab, residential addiction treatment at our Orange County recovery center immerses people in their treatment. That is to say, they will live in our center while going through their program. During inpatient rehab in Orange County, people are free from outside distractions so they can focus solely on themselves and their recovery.

Residential addiction treatment is best if they need time to make changes in their 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 they’ve completed residential treatment and have a secure place to live during treatment.

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

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication assisted treatment (MAT) combines behavioral therapy with FDA-approved medications. Clients might first begin MAT during detox to help with withdrawal symptoms. After that, they may continue MAT through inpatient rehab in Orange County or their outpatient programs, depending on their needs.

Additionally, alcohol and opioid addictions often result in the most challenging withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, MAT is usually best for these types of addictions. Moreover, clients 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, people will be well-versed in 12-Step recovery upon leaving our program.

In short, we want to ensure they have the tools needed for lifelong recovery. By starting 12-Step programming with us, clients 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 them to pursue any type of peer recovery program that will work.

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, they might have anxiety during social situations and abuse alcohol to feel comfortable. Therefore, they can learn to manage their 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 someone lives in the area or they’re from out of town, our inpatient rehab in Orange County offers many benefits. We hope to provide people with the best experience possible to get the results they deserve.

The following are the benefits of attending our inpatient rehab in Orange County:

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

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