What clients are saying
Comprehensive Drug Addiction Treatment Programs
We understand that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Every person who walks through our doors has unique experiences, challenges, and goals. That’s why we offer a full continuum of care designed to meet you where you are in your journey.
Medical Detox
The first step in recovery is often detoxification. Our medically supervised detox program helps you withdraw from substances safely and as comfortably as possible. With 24/7 medical oversight, you’ll be supported through withdrawal symptoms and prepared for the next phase of treatment.
Inpatient (Residential) Treatment
Our inpatient program provides a structured, immersive environment where you can focus entirely on healing. Patients receive round-the-clock care, evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches, and the support of peers on the same path.
Outpatient Treatment
For those who are transitioning from residential care or who need flexibility to continue work, school, or family responsibilities, outpatient treatment offers ongoing therapy and support. Options include Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP).
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many people struggling with drug addiction also face underlying mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Our dual diagnosis program ensures both substance use and mental health are treated together for lasting recovery.
Aftercare and Alumni Support
Recovery does not end when treatment ends. We provide relapse prevention planning, ongoing therapy, support groups, and an alumni program to help you stay connected and supported long after you leave our care.

Our Approach to Healing
At Wavecrest Behavioral Health, we believe recovery involves the mind, body, and spirit. Our approach is built on four pillars:
- Evidence-Based Therapies – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.
- Holistic Healing – Mindfulness, meditation, fitness, nutrition counseling, and creative therapies.
- Family Involvement – Family therapy sessions and education to rebuild relationships.
- Community Support – Access to peer groups and 12-step or alternative recovery meetings in Santa Ana and throughout Orange County.
