How we help
Statewide referral to one detox site
Northbound operates a single detox location: 9842 13th St, Garden Grove. There is no detox in Newport Beach, La Jolla, or elsewhere.
Medically supervised detox removes substances from the body while clinicians manage withdrawal symptoms that can be dangerous — or fatal — without proper monitoring. Northbound operates one detox campus: 9842 13th St, Garden Grove, CA 92844 in Garden Grove, California.
If you are in California and need detox, our admissions team conducts a confidential phone assessment, verifies insurance, and coordinates travel to Southern California when medically appropriate. You are not handed off to a call center — our team stays involved through arrival and stabilization.
Clients from California fly into John Wayne (SNA), Long Beach, or LAX and reach Garden Grove via the 5, 22, or 405. After detox, the same organization offers residential at The Grove, PHP in Newport Beach, and HomeBound virtual IOP statewide — one treatment story, not a chain of unrelated providers.
Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can produce seizures without medical care. Opioid withdrawal drives relapse when unmanaged. Physician-led detox at The Grove follows IMS-certified standards with 24/7 nursing access.
We are DHCS licensed #300661CP, Joint Commission accredited, and in-network with 15+ major insurance plans. Call (866) 311-0003 — admissions is available 24/7 for California families.

Local context
How California families reach Northbound detox
Clients fly into SNA, LAX, or Long Beach and reach Garden Grove via the 5, 22, or 405 — our admissions team helps coordinate arrivals.
After stabilization, the same organization offers residential at The Grove and PHP in Newport Beach without changing treatment brands mid-stream.
More than 50% of Northbound clients historically travel from out of state; California residents outside OC follow the same clinical front door.
California families often ask how Northbound differs from other providers — we concentrate on-site detox and residential at one Garden Grove campus, PHP at Newport Beach, and virtual IOP statewide rather than spreading thin across many small sites.
Areas we serve
Northbound’s clinical campuses are in Orange County and San Diego, but we admit clients from every region of California — Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Sacramento, the Central Valley, and the Inland Empire. Virtual IOP (HomeBound) extends structured care into your home county after higher levels of care.
