We provide 24/7 care and same-day admissions, ensuring that compassionate, professional help is available the moment you need it.
Medically Supervised Orange County Detox: The First Step
The first and most critical phase of recovery is often detox, and attempting it alone can be dangerous. Our expert medical team—including doctors, nurses, and addiction specialists—provides a medically supervised detox grounded in evidence-based protocols. We manage withdrawal from a range of substances to ensure the process is as safe and comfortable as possible:
- Alcohol Rehab in Mission Viejo
- Heroin Detox & Rehab in Mission Viejo
- Methadone Detox
- Benzodiazepines and other Prescription Drugs
What Happens During Detox?
The medical detox process at our Orange County addiction facility is tailored to each individual, as it depends on the substance used, the duration of use, and a person’s overall health. It begins with a comprehensive and confidential assessment of your physical and mental state. This allows our clinical team to create a personalized treatment plan designed for your safety and comfort.
During detox, you will be under 24/7 medical supervision. Our team monitors for physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms and can provide specific medications to ease discomfort and reduce cravings. Nutritional support is also provided to help your body begin the healing process.
It is important to remember that detox is only the first step in the recovery journey. Its primary goal is to safely clear the substance from your body, allowing you to become stable enough to engage in ongoing therapy. Lasting recovery involves addressing the underlying causes of addiction, which begins after detox is complete.

Orange County Inpatient Mental Health Treatment (Residential)
When a mental health condition like depression, anxiety, or PTSD becomes too overwhelming to manage in daily life, finding a safe and structured space to heal is the most important step. Residential mental health treatment provides this immersive, 24/7 level of care. It’s a supportive sanctuary where you can step away from everyday triggers and stressors to focus completely on your well-being. Here in our beautiful San Juan Capistrano setting, our program offers this unique environment, allowing you to stabilize emotionally and begin your recovery with expert, around-the-clock support.
Effective residential care is about healing the whole person. Our program is built on a foundation of comprehensive support that addresses every aspect of your health. This means integrating intensive individual therapy to explore root causes, dynamic group therapy to build community, and continuous medical and psychiatric care for stabilization. We complement this clinical work with holistic methods and family therapy to nurture the body, spirit, and your most important relationships, creating a truly integrated path to wellness.
At California Care Mental Health, our expert team combines these elements into a single, personalized treatment plan grounded in evidence-based practices.

Our Commitment to Clinical Excellence
Choosing the right facility is essential for a successful recovery. California Care Recovery is certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) to provide a 3.5-level of care, enabling us to deliver high-quality, clinically intensive services. Our comprehensive approach addresses both the immediate detox process and the long-term recovery plan. Through our dual diagnosis program, we treat underlying mental health conditions alongside substance use, targeting the root causes of addiction and giving you the best chance at lasting success.
The Gold Standard: Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Lasting recovery requires healing the whole person.

We break this cycle by creating a single, cohesive treatment plan that addresses both challenges head-on, using proven clinical modalities to get to the root of the problem.
