Alcohol Rehab in Irvine, CA
Alcohol addiction can quietly take hold of anyone — professionals, students, parents, or retirees. Over time, what begins as social drinking or stress relief can develop into dependence, affecting health, relationships, and quality of life. At Wavecrest Behavioral Health in Irvine, CA, we help individuals and families reclaim their lives through compassionate, evidence-based alcohol rehab programs designed for long-term recovery.
If you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol use, you’re not alone. Our team of licensed clinicians, therapists, and medical staff is dedicated to providing the tools, guidance, and care needed to begin a new chapter — one rooted in health, hope, and connection.

Convenient Location
Receive world-class treatment close to home, reducing travel stress.
Family Involvement
Loved ones can participate in therapy and education programs, which strengthens recovery outcomes.

What clients are saying
Our Alcohol Rehab Programs
We know that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Every individual who comes to Wavecrest has unique needs, challenges, and goals. That’s why we offer a comprehensive continuum of care, ensuring each client receives the right level of support at the right time.
Medical Detox
Detox is often the first step in recovery. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous without medical supervision, so our 24/7 medically monitored detox provides comfort and safety throughout the process. Our clinical team helps stabilize you physically while preparing you emotionally for the next stage of treatment.
Inpatient (Residential) Treatment
Our residential program provides a structured, immersive environment where patients can focus entirely on recovery. With daily therapy, medical oversight, peer support, and holistic healing activities, residential care lays the groundwork for deep personal transformation.
Outpatient Treatment (PHP & IOP)
For clients who have completed inpatient care or who need flexibility, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provide continued therapy and support while you live at home. These programs are ideal for maintaining progress while returning to work, school, or family life.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many people who struggle with alcohol addiction also experience co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Our dual diagnosis program treats both disorders simultaneously, promoting lasting recovery and emotional balance.
Aftercare & Alumni Support
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. Our aftercare planning helps you stay connected through alumni programs, relapse-prevention groups, and ongoing therapy — ensuring long-term stability and support within the Irvine community.
