Why Newport Beach is Ideal for Recovery
Newport Beach offers some of the most stunning landscapes in all of California. Situated between San Diego to the south and Los Angeles to the north, Orange County has a casually sophisticated vibe that makes it uniquely its own.
Reminiscent of the Mediterranean, with 42 miles of pristine beaches, this area of Southern California is rich in natural beauty and is bursting with personality and charm.
Patients participating in our Newport Beach drug and alcohol treatment programs are not only surrounded by encouraging and supportive staff members, but also go through the recovery process in one of the most beautiful locations in all of California.
Northbound Treatment Services’ incredible success rates are due, in part, to our inVivoⓇ drug rehab program model, which empowers participants to interact with the outside world while in a supportive and safe clinical setting. Our philosophy, and ultimately our success rates, prioritize the community in every aspect of treatment.
Interacting with the outside world is more than a simple distraction, it can be a truly fun experience. The beach is often a regular part of our day, with our surf enthusiasts catching waves two times a week. We take trips to Sequoia National Park, visit the grocery store, and get together for barbecues.

Drug and Alcohol Detox Program
At Northbound Treatment Services, Newport Beach, we offer medically-supervised detoxification services to help you end your physical dependence on drugs or alcohol and begin your journey to addiction recovery.
Our team at Northbound Treatment Services is aware of the challenges of withdrawal. Depending on the substance and the nature of the addiction, this may last 7 to 10 days. We strive to make this first step of recovery as comfortable and as safe as possible.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Program
Many individuals who suffer from substance use disorders (SUDs) also suffer from the effects of mental health disorders. These disorders may include the following:
According to the California Health Care Almanac, 34.4% of the adults who received services for mental health had a mental illness and a substance use disorder.
Many people who are living with co-occurring disorders struggle to find the right kind of help. We offer dual diagnosis treatment at our Newport Beach facility, for those who are living with both substance and mental health disorders. We understand the difficulty of managing symptoms of mental illness while trying to overcome addiction. So, we provide help and hope for those who are working through these challenges.
Residential Treatment
Our residential treatment center in Newport Beach, California, is designed for patients with moderate to severe levels of addiction to live in a rehab facility for the entirety of their time in recovery, typically 30-90 days. This provides patients with the chance to focus on their recovery, with limited distractions, in a safe, structured program with routine. Support, guidance, and a high level of care are provided around the clock by medical and therapy professionals. Our residential treatment center in Newport Beach provides the following:
- Individual and group therapy
- Psychiatric care
- 12-step immersion
- Life skills development
- 4-Day intensive family program
- Conflict resolution
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
After completing our residential treatment program, many patients step down to our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). This level of care offers on-site counseling, psychoeducation, and support groups.
Patients who attend PHP in Newport Beach, California, do not live at the treatment facility. Instead, PHP patients travel to the treatment center on their assigned hours and days. Typically, patients commit to around 4 to 8 hours of therapy each day.
Partial hospitalization programs can be used as a step-down treatment after residency or as the sole program for minor addictions. This is an excellent option for those who aren’t looking to fully commit to an inpatient rehab program. It’s also great for those who may have work, familial obligations, or other responsibilities.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP helps people from the Newport Beach community address addiction and mental illness. IOP provides an intensive level of treatment, while patients live at home. This allows you to continue living your day-to-day life.
While some may not be able to hold themselves accountable and need a more structured routine, such as residential care or PHP, IOP equips people with the tools and support they need to be able to transition to a more independent level of care. We provide the following:
- Individual recovery coaching
- Individual therapy
- Goal setting and follow-up
- Online case management
- On-site and off-site programming
- Alcohol and drug testing
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient treatment is a program for people with moderate to less severe levels of addiction who don’t need PHP or IOP. People in outpatient programs have typically transitioned from residential treatment, and need to continue their recovery. However, instead of living at our Newport Beach treatment facility, patients will live at home while attending hours of weekly treatment sessions and counseling for the amount of time necessary.
While living independently, support and resources such as coping skills, are taught to help avoid the urge to use and be able to manage their condition as there is no 24/7 supervision. We provide the following:
- Individual and group therapy
- Individual case management
- Therapeutic toxicology services
- Recreational activities
- Day and evening programming
- Vocational and academic support
Support Groups
Support groups are an integral component of drug and alcohol treatment and care at our Newport Beach rehabilitation facility. The recovery journey can be emotional, so it’s essential to share your feelings, not only with loved ones or counselors, but also with peers who are in recovery and understand what you’re going through.
Support groups allow you and your loved ones to listen and be listened to. Support groups usually meet at least once a week so that members can support one another through recovery. Different support groups have varying approaches. We can guide you in the right direction.
Aftercare Support
The road to recovery is long, and it doesn’t end after inpatient or outpatient treatment. Northbound’s addiction support services in Newport Beach, California, are designed to help individuals adjust to life outside of rehab, prevent relapse, and continue to evaluate their progress.
Your Northbound care team assesses your needs as a patient and works with you to develop a flexible aftercare plan. While plans vary, they often include individual coaching and therapy, goal setting and follow-ups, drug testing, and online case management to assess your sober living progress.
Recovery Meetings in Newport Beach
Recovery meetings are a great supplement to a drug and alcohol treatment program. In Newport Beach, support groups are one of the many addiction treatment resources, and they can be one of the most beneficial resources to utilize during recovery. Local groups include:
- Alcoholics Anonymous
- Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
- Al-Anon and Nar-Anon
- SMART Recovery

Don Mize!r
Northbound was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I went into detox for only a 7 day stay. After day 5 and a tour of the main residential side i knew I'd be missing out on absolutely everything that Northbound had to offer. Every single staff member was and still is amazing to me and really made me feel like part of a new family. My 7 day stay turned to 30 by my decision and willingness to, just relax give, myself a break and, let Northbound help me which I needed. If ever needed help again in the future I'd go straight to Northbound without hesitation. I love the staff and the Northbound garden Grove facility. Thank you to EVERYONE at Northbound.

Hugo Martinez
Back in March, I made the life-changing decision to seek help at Northbound, and it was truly one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I want to express my deepest appreciation to every single staff member who played a role in my recovery journey.
A special thank you to my counselor Shannon and my therapist Dana your guidance, encouragement, and unwavering support helped me push through some of the most difficult moments of my life. What stood out the most was not just how well everyone did their job, but how they consistently went above and beyond. Whether it was offering advice, sharing their personal stories, or simply leading by example, the staff at Northbound genuinely cared about my growth and healing.
The medical team was equally incredible. They ensured my well-being and handled my medication treatment with professionalism, compassion, and precision. I always felt safe and supported.
Today, 95 days later, I have my family back. My business is thriving. But more importantly, my relationship with God has been restored. I’m beyond grateful for where I am and Northbound was a major part of that transformation.
To anyone struggling with addiction, whether it’s drugs or alcohol: I wholeheartedly recommend Northbound. It’s not just a treatment center it’s a place where lives are rebuilt and hope is restored.

I really had a great experience here. They offer Virtual as well as in person treatment. The classes were very informative as well as personable where I never felt afraid to open up or receive feedback back. The instructors are very professional and understanding. After my time there I feel like a better and stronger individual. I would rate this place a 10/10 and strongly recommend it for anyone that is seeking help. Thank you for everything.
Gabriela Reyes
Northbound has played a vital role in my recovery and mental health journey. While I didn’t attend their residential program—having gone to Point Break Recovery in Ventura, which was also a positive experience—Northbound welcomed me with open arms and quickly became a cornerstone of my healing. The team is incredibly insightful and consistently helps me view things from new perspectives that bring me closer to becoming the healthiest version of myself.
Charlie Hubbert
I showed up to Northbound a broken man. I was dealing with the start of a nasty divorce after 25 years of marriage, was homeless and alone. It was at Northbound through the staff, case managers, therapists and the connections of fellow addicts that help me realized that I am not alone, nor could I do this alone. I learned that vulnerability and honesty is the only way to Crack that door of sobriety open and have the ability to start working on me. Day by day, that door opens a little further. The team at Northbound has stood behind me and helped me even after I left there. THEY CARE. The friends I met while in treatment together will be life long support for me and my best friends. If you are struggling with addiction, do not hesitate to take the first step and just reach out to Northbound. Go, be open and humble. They changed my life by showing me how to do it!

Tynell Dickens
There is nothing like being taken care of by the staff at Northbound. I was in their detox center. They took really good care of me. The beds were soft and clean. I had plenty of food and the staff were all super kind and understanding. They had smart tvs in every room with all the apps you can dream of. Their medical staff is super top notch with their care and medication administering. If you give it a chance..just one chance, you’ll see that they are an extended FAMILY to everyone who crosses their doors. Thank you.

Northbound is the best rehab I’ve been to. Compared to the previous rehab I attended, I really liked working with the Case Managers. It was a good reset and transition into sobriety.
Heike Belmore
Top notch quality care! Experienced staff who care about the patient & family. All of the patients l've encountered that have been to Northbound or any affiliated facilities have had great experiences! Most of the time people only come to write bad reviews when they're unhappy and unfortunately some people are beyond reasoning. I would 100 send my loved one here if needed.
