Our treatment center at Crystal Cove Recovery is located in Southern California, offering comprehensive treatment programs for substance abuse and substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD) and opioid addiction. Specifically, our residential opioid treatment in Orange County offers you the opportunity to temporarily disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and place your full focus on your healing.

Who We Help and How We Support Your Recovery

At our treatment facility, we primarily serve adults aged 25-35+ who are struggling with substance abuse, addiction, and dual diagnosis. Upon intake, we work with clients to complete comprehensive assessments to help our providers better understand each client’s unique needs, goals for recovery, and other factors that may be contributing to ongoing addictive patterns. We use this information to create individualized treatment plans for our clients that incorporate their personal strengths and preferences while prioritizing client autonomy.

For those undergoing opioid addiction treatment, we utilize a combination of therapeutic modalities in both individual and group sessions to foster personal and relational well-being. Often, this includes medication-assisted treatment (MAT), evidence-based treatment approaches, case management, and behavioral health treatment services tailored to individual needs.

What Is Opioid Use Disorder?

Opioids are a category of licit and illicit drugs that are often used to treat pain. With this, they are also known for facilitating feelings of relaxation and euphoria, which make them incredibly addictive.

There are three main categories of opioid drugs. These include:

  • Natural: Also known as opiates, natural opioids are derived from the seeds of the opium poppy plant. Examples of natural opioids include morphine, codeine, and opium.
  • Semi-synthetic: These are created in laboratories by chemically processing natural opiates. Examples of semi-synthetic opioids include heroin and prescription opioids like oxycodone, hydrocodone, and oxymorphone.
  • Synthetic: These are manufactured entirely in laboratories and contain no natural ingredients. An example of a synthetic opioid is fentanyl.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a form of substance use disorder (SUD) related to the misuse and abuse of these drugs. It is characterized by two or more symptoms related to opioid misuse. While this is not a complete list of warning signs, examples of symptoms related to OUD can include:

  • Experiencing physical or psychological cravings to engage in substance use
  • Increasing tolerance
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when opioid use is ceased
  • Failing to fulfill major obligations or responsibilities at work, school, or home due to drug use
Leaving OUD unmanaged can lead to devastating health outcomes, including an increased risk of overdose and overdose death. Undergoing professional treatment at an addiction treatment center is often necessary to reduce the risk of overdose, establish sobriety, and improve overall wellness in recovery.

Our Comprehensive Opioid Treatment Programs

Despite the addictive nature of opioids, OUD is treatable. Through comprehensive treatment programs that incorporate both medication and behavioral therapies, those struggling with OUD can achieve symptom management and thrive in sobriety.  At Crystal Cove Recovery, our opioid treatment in Orange County helps clients undergoing opioid addiction treatment begin the recovery process by participating in detoxification and then transitioning to our residential treatment program.

Medically Supported Detoxification (Medical Detox)

The misuse and abuse of opioid drugs can lead to intense and often unbearable withdrawal symptoms when an individual is not actively using. Through detoxification, a set of interventions is used to address symptoms of physical and psychological withdrawal through both medical and therapeutic support services. Detox ensures that an individual’s body is cleared of the remnants of opioids and other drugs, providing a clean slate for the next stages of treatment.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a critical component of detox. With MAT, individuals are prescribed medications to ease withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and other symptoms that could otherwise increase the risk of relapse. Examples of medications used during detox include methadone, buprenorphine, suboxone, and naltrexone, among others.

Residential Treatment for Opioid Addiction

Once an individual has completed detoxification, they can begin our inpatient residential treatment program. Here, clients will reside at our treatment facility as they undergo professional care. Throughout their stay, clients will engage in a wide range of therapeutic activities, including individual and group therapy sessions, skill-building groups, holistic practices, and meaningful hobbies to facilitate well-rounded recovery.

Evidence-Based Behavioral Therapies We Use

Our programming for drug addiction is structured through the use of evidence-based behavioral therapies. These therapies have been well-researched for their effectiveness in helping clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps clients better understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sessions involve identifying potentially unhealthy thinking patterns and how they can contribute to maladaptive behaviors. Additionally, sessions also include learning and practicing coping skills for emotional regulation and stress management.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

MI is an important therapeutic modality that is used to support clients in enhancing their own motivation for change. During sessions, therapists work with clients to uncover and resolve their ambivalence surrounding change as well as implement mindfulness and self-care strategies into their daily lives.

Group Therapy and Support Groups

Indeed, social support plays a critical role in the recovery journey from alcohol and drug addiction. Group therapy and support groups help foster social support through shared experiences and mutual understanding. Additionally, these therapies offer valuable insights into recovery, as well as ongoing accountability for maintaining sobriety.

Why Choose Crystal Cove Recovery for Opioid Treatment in Orange County?

Our detox and residential opioid treatment in Orange County offers clients an invaluable healing opportunity where they can focus fully on establishing sobriety while distancing themselves from the environmental triggers and stressors of daily life. Some of the unique elements of our treatment programs at Crystal Cove Recovery include:

Individualized Treatment Plans Tailored to Your Needs

Rather than expecting our clients to go through the motions of a treatment program, we prioritize the use of personalized treatment tailored to individual needs, preferences, and recovery goals. Comprehensive intake assessments help our team better understand the various factors that lead a client to treatment, allowing us to craft the most effective treatment plan aimed toward sustaining whole-person wellness.

Strong Community and Connection

We are committed to fostering a strong therapeutic environment where clients feel validated, supported, and connected. In addition to residing with others in treatment, clients will have numerous opportunities to build interpersonal relations to support healing and sobriety during treatment and long after.

Experienced Medical Professionals and FDA-Approved Medications

Our staff includes experienced therapists and medical providers who can prescribe medications to make the detox and treatment process more comfortable and enjoyable for clients.

Focus on Long-Term Recovery and Aftercare

We understand that recovery is not something that is traditionally “completed.” Instead, we believe recovery is a lifelong journey, and that professional opioid addiction treatment should reflect this. Discharge and aftercare planning are a crucial part of weekly programming at Crystal Cove Recovery, helping clients prepare for long-term recovery beyond the walls of treatment. This process may include getting a referral for another level of care, such as an outpatient mental health treatment program. Outpatient treatment typically occurs once residential treatment concludes.

The Recovery Journey: From Detox to Aftercare

While the treatment and recovery journey from OUD may seem taxing, it may very likely be the best choice that an individual can make for their overall well-being. At Crystal Cove Recovery, we want to make this journey feel as authentic and practical as possible. Allow us to guide and support you or a loved one in overcoming opioid or other drug abuse to obtain lasting transformation and healing in sobriety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does opioid detox last?

Opioid detox typically lasts between 7 and 10 days, though the exact duration can vary based on factors like the level of opioid dependence and individual health. Our process involves medically supervised interventions to safely manage withdrawal symptoms and help the body clear opioids from its system. The length of detox may be longer or shorter depending on the individual’s specific situation and response to treatment.

What withdrawal symptoms should I expect during detoxification?

During detoxification, you can expect withdrawal symptoms such as body aches, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps, anxiety, agitation, and irritability. Other common symptoms include chills, goose bumps, insomnia, a rapid heartbeat, and emotional distress. These symptoms can be uncomfortable but are typically manageable under medical supervision, often with the help of medication-assisted treatment to reduce cravings and alleviate symptoms. The goal of detox is to safely and comfortably transition into further treatment for addiction recovery.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! We are proud to accept all PPO healthcare insurance plans to make substance abuse treatment as accessible as possible for clients. Additionally, we also have a cash pay program for those without insurance.

We know that conversations surrounding insurance and coverage can be intimidating, which is why our admissions team handles the verification process for clients. Reach out to us today to learn more.

How long does the residential program last?

The length of our detox and residential treatment programs varies on a case-by-case basis. On average, the detoxification process lasts approximately 7 to 10 days. Our residential treatment program, on the other hand, lasts on average 21 to 28 days from start to finish, though it can and does extend longer for some clients. We can provide you with a more accurate timeline for residential treatment once we are more familiar with your individual needs and recovery goals.

What medications are used in treatment?

A variety of prescription medications may be used in our opioid treatment in Orange County. These medications help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and support long-term recovery. They are prescribed and monitored by our medical professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness throughout the treatment process. Some of these include, but are not limited to:

  • Anticonvulsant drugs: Used to prevent seizures and address withdrawal symptoms
  • Buprenorphine/suboxone: Used to alleviate cravings and withdrawal symptoms
  • Methadone: Used to address withdrawal symptoms and reduce the intensity of cravings
  • Benzodiazepines: Used to manage withdrawal symptoms related to anxiety, seizures, and delirium tremens

It is vital to note that these medications are prescribed on a short-term and case-by-case basis. During detox and residential treatment, providers will assist clients in slowly weaning off these medications to decrease the risk of dependency and replacing one addiction with another. Other medications may also be used to address symptoms of co-occurring mental health disorders.

Can family members be involved in treatment?

Yes! Family involvement in treatment is strongly encouraged when a loved one is undergoing professional care at Crystal Cove Recovery. Such involvement can take many forms, from family therapy sessions to casual check-ins, individual support catered to family members’ unique goals, and more. During family sessions, family members can learn how to best support their loved one in treatment by limiting enabling behaviors, setting boundaries, and implementing healthier styles of communication.

Do you offer dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders?

Yes, Crystal Cove Recovery offers dual diagnosis treatment for individuals who are experiencing co-occurring mental health disorders alongside their substance use issues. Our programs are designed to address both conditions simultaneously, recognizing the complex relationship between mental health and addiction. The experienced team at Crystal Cove conducts comprehensive assessments to develop personalized treatment plans that incorporate therapy, medication management, and support for mental health challenges.
