Dual Diagnosis Rehab in Orange County
The program supports people facing substance use with co-occurring anxiety, depression, or trauma. Licensed clinicians and a personal care team guide step-down treatment and coordinate with licensed detox or residential partners for stabilization.
Clients attend individual therapy and groups that address mental health and addiction together. Care follows the Stages of Change model and emphasizes skills practice, structure, and relapse-prevention planning with cognitive behavioral therapy. Since groups are recovery-centered, mental health-only needs may require a different setting.
