ABOUT HOAG ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTERS IN NEWPORT BEACH, CA

Nonprofit health care network Hoag has operated two addiction treatment centers in Newport Beach and Irvine for 25 years. The Newport Beach location in California offers medical detoxification, residential programming, dual diagnosis treatment, and outpatient programming.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

The SolMar Recovery residential center operated by Hoag provides cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), individual and group counseling, 12-step meetings, and therapeutic recreations. Though Hoag provides 12-step programming, treatment is not rooted in the 12-steps.

Complementary holistic programming includes yoga, art therapy, and mind and body awareness. Hoag also emphasizes family involvement and encourages loved ones to participate in family therapy sessions and a week-long family program.

Hoag’s alumni group, Hoag’s Heroes, provides ongoing support through sober social activities, weekly group meetings, and one-on-one mentorship.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

Hoag Addiction Treatment Centers employs physicians, psychologists, licensed therapists, nurses, counselors, case managers, spiritual care counselors, and other specialists.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY

Three alumni gave mixed feedback to Best-rehabs.com to date.

An anonymous alumni gave the facility one- and two-star ratings out of a possible five for its meal quality, overall treatment effectiveness, holistic activities, and counseling options.

However, both gave accommodations four- and five-star ratings out of five.

Another alum, Laura, added: “Staff, location, protocols…No true follow up. The program is comprehensive and much of the staff are in recovery.” Alum M.K. reported dissatisfaction with the facility’s continuing care program. M.K. reported: “deeply concerned that Hoag considers whom they allow to have this level of administrative control without compassion in how they treat family members who have already gone through so much.”

    • It was a horrible experience going through detox from prescribed Ativan at Hoag Hospital for a number of reasons. First the treating physicians were DOs not MDs, which explains treatment errors. My Hoag inpatient treating physican was difficult to contact, the neurolist that examined me turned out not to be a neirologist per the Hoag website, I witnessed a nurse) scream at patients for no apparent reason to the point they sobbed, some nurses were constantly on internet or texting which caused patients to seek help from other patients nurses for help, I personally was given incorrect high doses of medications that was caught by next shift nurse. The main support group is the other parients, since most physicians and nurses just see patients as a number. A number of patients made complaints while going through treatment but they went on def ears. Upon leaving my primary care physician helped me redo the tapering off Ativan because my body was in shock from being taken off incorrectly.

    I was shocked and chagrined tonight when I attended the continuing care program for families affected by someone with an addiction problem. One of the most difficult things to deal with is the many people who are trying to cope with this problem in their families. A woman who came late to the meeting was escorted out by security for being late when she had had a heart attack a week earlier. The person who was enforcing the time showed no compassion or understanding of the problems that the woman had and actually pulled her out of the meeting for being 15 minutes late - such unkind ndness and heartlessness is at odds with the doctors who actually mediate the session. I hope she gets help and am deeply concerned that Hoag considers whom they allow to have this level of administrative control without compassion in how they treat family members who have already gone through so much.
