Facility Philosophy
As Orange County, California's first chemical dependency recovery hospital (CDRH), Laguna Treatment Hospital in Aliso Viejo, CA, provides research-based clinical and support services for adults suffering from both substance misuse and co-occurring mental health disorders.
The hospital staff is experienced in treating high-need patients, including those who are medically compromised and require 24/7 medical care, through the facility’s unique medical model for addiction treatment. With a staff of more than 70 addiction professionals, registered nurses, licensed marriage and family therapists, and a recreational therapist, Laguna Treatment Hospital specializes in medically monitored withdrawal management (detox) as well as inpatient rehabilitation.
Laguna Treatment Hospital is also known for its therapeutic setting, ideal for helping patients get and stay on the path toward recovery. Addiction is a complex physiological disease, and no two patients are exactly alike. At our Southern California facility, patients are offered individually tailored treatment plans based upon underlying medical conditions, co-occurring mental health disorders, history of trauma, and other factors.
During a stay at Laguna Treatment Hospital, patients participate in a variety of evidence-based therapies in both individual and group settings. Our therapists utilize methods that are clinically proven to help people who suffer from addiction learn to resist substance use and develop healthy coping and decision-making skills. These evidence-based therapies include motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), alternative or holistic therapies such as yoga or meditation, and more.
We also offer educational sessions to help patients prepare for life in recovery and solidify their commitment to sobriety. Laguna Treatment Hospital strives to provide a therapeutic, safe, and comfortable environment for patients as they move through our continuum of care. Nursing stations are located on each residential floor and staffed 24/7.
Our compassionate nurses continuously monitor patients throughout their stay, so patients and their families can feel at ease during treatment. To promote wellness and recovery, Laguna features everything from a pool and fitness center to hotel style rooms complete with large beds and luxury linens. Our group rooms promote discussion and discovery, while private space and quiet time are set aside for meditation and self-reflection.
Leaving an inpatient rehab and transitioning into more independent living can seem intimidating, but Laguna’s caring therapists and case managers will be with you every step of the way. From enrolling you in an outpatient program that fits your unique needs to helping you transition into sober living housing, they help you prepare for the next chapter that awaits you outside Laguna Treatment Hospital.
In addition, Laguna’s alumni network in Aliso Viejo helps former patients stay engaged during their ongoing recovery. Weekly meetings and a full schedule of other events ensures continued support and a network of like-minded people who can help keep you on track well after you leave our facility in Southern California
