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.
Benzos
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
Ketamine
Kratom
Modalities & Therapies
Trauma Therapy
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.
Our Reviews
Whole Heart Healing
The licensed clinicians and addiction professionals at our Orange County drug rehab are experts in the field of substance abuse, eating disorders, and mental illness. We offer dual diagnosis treatment from a holistic perspective that considers the full range of human needs— including physical, emotional, and mental health. We understand that addiction is a complicated disease and that the recovery process looks different for every individual.
Our addiction specialists are trained in a wide range of therapeutic modalities that can help those struggling with alcohol and drug addiction understand and treat the root cause of their substance abuse. These treatment services include individual therapy, group therapy, surf therapy, 12-step-based groups, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), nutritional counseling, and Somatic Experiencing.
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.
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.
