Our Addiction Treatment Programs

Detox

Ocean Recovery offers medically supported detox in a calm, beachfront setting to help clients safely stabilize and prepare for deeper therapeutic work. Our clinical team provides 24/7 monitoring, medication management when needed, and a compassionate start to recovery.

Residential Treatment

Our residential program provides immersive, gender-specific care just steps from the beach. Clients engage in trauma-informed therapy, weekly psychiatrist sessions, experiential therapies, and life skills development within a structured, supportive environment.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP offers a high level of clinical care with full days of structured treatment while allowing clients to begin practicing independence. This program is ideal for those stepping down from residential treatment and continuing intensive therapeutic work.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP is designed for continued recovery support as clients transition back into everyday life. This flexible, step-down level of care focuses on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and maintaining progress made in higher levels of treatment.

For more than 20 years, Ocean Recovery has been helping individuals achieve long-term recovery from substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, and co-occurring mental health disorders at our inpatient rehab facility in Newport Beach, California.

Addiction Types Treated

Alcohol

We treat alcohol use disorder with medically supported detox, trauma-informed therapy, and long-term recovery planning. Treatment addresses both physical dependence and the emotional patterns that drive continued use.


Opioids

Ocean Recovery provides comprehensive care for opioid addiction, including detox, psychiatric support, and evidence-based therapies. Our approach focuses on stabilization, relapse prevention, and healing underlying trauma.

Benzodiazepine addiction requires careful, medically supervised treatment. Our team safely manages withdrawal while helping clients rebuild emotional regulation and coping skills.


Prescription Drugs

We treat dependence on prescription medications such as painkillers, sleep aids, and anti-anxiety drugs. Treatment emphasizes medical safety, behavioral change, and addressing the root causes of misuse.


Stimulants

Stimulant addiction—including cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants—is treated through structured therapy, psychiatric care, and nervous system regulation to support long-term recovery.

Marijuana

Marijuana —including high-potency THC, concentrates, and synthetic cannabis—is treated through specialized behavioral therapy, clinical support, and evidence-based interventions to address psychological dependency and achieve lasting recovery.

Ketamine

Ketamine —including chronic recreational use, therapeutic misuse, and dissociative dependency—is treated through integrated clinical care, psychiatric supervision, and specialized therapies to support cognitive function and long-term neurobiological recovery.

Kratom

Kratom —including raw leaf consumption, concentrated extracts, and herbal supplement misuse—is treated through medical stabilization, therapeutic counseling, and comprehensive relapse prevention to support physical wellness and lasting recovery.

Modalities & Therapies

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy utilizes evidence-based, trauma-informed clinical approaches to help clients safely navigate and process distressing past experiences, reducing the impact of emotional triggers and supporting comprehensive healing from PTSD and co-occurring disorders.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps clients safely process trauma and reduce its emotional impact, supporting healing from PTSD, anxiety, and addiction-related experiences.


Surf Therapy

Surf therapy uses the ocean as a therapeutic tool, helping clients build confidence, regulate emotions, and reconnect with their bodies through guided, clinically supported experiences.


Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing focuses on healing trauma through the nervous system, helping clients release stored stress and develop greater emotional and physical regulation.


CBT, DBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provide practical tools to manage cravings, regulate emotions, and change unhealthy thought patterns.


Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional counseling supports physical and mental recovery by addressing the impact of substance use on the body and developing sustainable, healthy eating habits.


Spirituality Groups

Spirituality groups offer space for reflection, meaning, and connection—supporting personal growth and recovery without imposing any specific belief system.


Group & Individual Therapy

Clients participate in both group and one-on-one therapy to build insight, accountability, and supportive relationships while addressing personal recovery goals.


Life Skills Training

Life skills training helps clients build the practical tools needed for independent, sustainable recovery. This includes emotional regulation, communication, time management, healthy routines, and real-world coping strategies that support long-term success beyond treatment.

BACKED BY RESEARCH & SCIENCE

Backed by research & science

Evidenced-Based Treatment

The treatment methods we use in our men’s addiction treatment and women’s addiction programs are backed by science and based on the latest research surrounding substance use disorders. Our therapists are trauma-informed and attachment-informed, which allows them to understand the underlying causes of addiction while they guide our clients through the evidence-based therapies we provide. In addition to daily group therapy, clients attend one-on-one therapy sessions and meet weekly with a psychiatrist who can prescribe medication for any co-occurring mental health issues. We also offer 12-Step programming, family therapy, spirituality groups, and optional trauma specialty sessions.

Ocean Recovery

The Oceanside Difference

Ocean Recovery is defined by depth of care, integrity, and an environment that genuinely supports healing. Clients receive a full hour with a psychiatrist every week—an uncommon level of access in residential treatment that allows for thoughtful medication management, deeper clinical insight, and true continuity of care. Treatment takes place in a truly beachfront setting, with residential homes located just 90 feet from the sand, making the ocean an active part of the daily recovery experience rather than a marketing claim. Ocean Recovery offers separate, gender-specific programs for adult men and women, allowing for more focused therapy, increased safety, and meaningful work around trauma, identity, and relationships. As a clinician-led, family-owned program—not private equity–backed—clinical decisions are guided by outcomes and integrity, not corporate pressure. Families are integrated into the process through weekly family coaching calls and quarterly, four-day family intensives designed to support long-term change. Ocean Recovery is also known for treating complex cases, including chronic relapse, dual diagnosis, and eating disorders, and remains highly insurance accessible, with in-network options through Kaiser Permanente and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, as well as support for out-of-network clients.
