ABOUT HOAG ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTERS
Hoag Addiction Treatment Centers is a renowned healthcare network with two facilities in southern California: one in Newport Beach offering residential treatment, and an outpatient facility in Irvine. Known as the longest-standing addiction recovery center in Orange County, Hoag in Irvine provides partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs, extended care options, and continued support for program alumni.
Hoag offers medically supervised detoxification in Irvine and inpatient services at its Newport Beach location.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Treatment begins with an assessment in order to create a personalized plan that meets the needs of each individual. Detoxification is conducted under 24-hour supervision by a team of nurses and physician specialists.
Hoag emphasizes its patient-centered approach, basing treatment on evidence-based practices. While the 12-Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are used in programming, they are not the sole focus. Other treatments include individual and group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and educational sessions.
The Hoag Addiction Treatment Center in Irvine offers various outpatient programs, each with varying degrees of intensity. The highest level of care, day (PHP) treatment, involves seven days of treatment per week. The slightly less intensive IOP is available during the day and at night: the day IOP consists of six hours per day, six days per week, while the night IOP consists of three-hour sessions. The extended care program is designed for individuals transitioning from a higher level of care, and meets three times a week for up to eight weeks.
After completing treatment, Hoag provides ongoing recovery resources at no additional cost through its alumni group, Hoag’s Heroes. This group offers opportunities for alumni to reconnect at regular social events and weekly group meetings, as well as participate in a one-on-one mentorship program.
