This place has such a great environment. The staff are knowledgeable and empathetic in helping people like me 🙂 I’ve been to several treatment centers but this one got to open my eyes and heart to the recovery process. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to come into my early days of recovery here. The groups are informative and made everything in my stubborn brain click. I am so grateful for Coco, Dustin, all the Links facilitators and Dr.Herring ( my guardian angel) I couldn’t have gone through it without them as well the educational groups that dive deeper than just the 12 steps. This place has made such an impact on my journey. Thank you Northbound.

This place has turned my life around in so many ways. I came in a position where I was mentally, physically and emotionally unable to navigate pretty much all aspects of my life. After completing the program I'm happy to say Northbound has set me up for success in ways I would have never imagined possible before coming in. Shannon, Dana, Wendy, Chantelle etc. made my experience here so comfortable and memorable. The entire staff give their 100% towards helping the clients. There will always be clients complaining about little things like the taste of the water, bed sheets aren't soft enough and all the BS in the world. If you're considering going here or are considering sending a loved one here I highly recommend it.

Accepted Insurance

Alcohol and Drug Abuse – Unidos Recovery Home works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

The Truth About Northbound Rehab in Garden Grove, CA Let me start by saying this: there are many kind, compassionate, and well-intentioned people working at Northbound Rehab who genuinely want to help those struggling with addiction. Unfortunately, the system they're operating within appears to prioritize profits over people. It quickly became clear that Northbound is, above all, a for-profit business—one that seems more focused on maximizing insurance billing than on individualized care. From the very first phone call, the admissions rep was already pushing for a verbal commitment to a 30-day stay. That didn’t raise major red flags at first—it seemed fairly standard. But looking back, it’s where I should have started asking more questions. Shortly after that came the pressure to commit to a 60–90 day program. Then came the urgency: "We can get you a flight that leaves in an hour. I can order you an Uber right now. Just give me your info so I can set it up." As if people can just drop everything and board a plane on the spot—what about rent, pets, packing, jobs? Once you arrive—often hundreds or even thousands of miles from home—the real process begins. During detox intake, everything you own is taken from you, including your phone, wallet, ID, credit cards, and personal belongings. Then you’re hit with a stack of around 30 legal documents to sign—often while still under the influence. You're told there are two beds per room, but in reality, there may be five or six. Here’s where it gets disturbing. Say you experience a legitimate family emergency, a financial situation, or a critical job opportunity—as I did. After 20 days in treatment, I had a job offer on the table worth $175,000 a year. I needed to return home to attend orientation and secure the position. I informed the staff and requested to leave. And that’s when I learned what I had unknowingly signed. Among the documents was a clause stating that if a client chooses to leave early, Northbound reserves the right to withhold their personal belongings—for 72 hours. Legally, they cannot detain you, but they can make leaving almost impossible by refusing to return your essentials: no phone, no ID, no wallet, no money, no way to get home. Technically, yes—you’re free to walk out. But how many people could walk out onto the streets of L.A. with absolutely nothing but the clothes on their back? Their justification? “We’re responsible for what happens to clients after discharge, and the 72-hour delay is to prevent relapse.” But let’s be honest: it’s hard not to question the real motive when those 72 hours equate to $9,000 to $12,000 in additional billable services. Especially when I saw others discharged immediately once their insurance coverage ended. Thankfully, I had the means and support system to leave without ending up on the streets. But by the time I purchased a new phone, transferred my service, and got back in touch—the job had already been offered to and accepted by someone else. Let this be a warning to others: Do your homework. Ask questions. Read every document carefully—even in times of vulnerability. Northbound might offer help, but make no mistake—they are running a business first.

Randall has been a blessing and a big reason that I have stayed. He speaks life and has an energy that could charge a dead battery. He is kind and thoughtful. He doesn't judge and meets you as the person you are. He is great and I'm glad he gets to spread his light and energy. It is beautiful to see how lights up moments of doubt, frustration, a room, and in general any dark spaces or moods. Northbound is lucky to have such a high vibration. Stay beautiful and keep walking in who you are. It's infectious and uplifting.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⚡️⚡️⚡️✨️♥️♥️.. I have had the best team of people, Freeman, Cresia, Kayla RN, and Keaton have all paid an important role in my time at Northbound.

As soon as I arrived at Northbound David Gates helped me with my legal issues and Cherish Lawrence helped me get sort term disability. This helped me to focus on my program and I didn’t need to worry about outside issues anymore. And Dustin helped me continue my care by setting me up with a safe location to transfer to. I would recommend Northbound to anyone trying to get sober.

Northbound Recovery Center truly saved my life. From day one, I was met with compassion, support, and genuine care. The staff is absolutely amazing. My case manager, Randall, went above and beyond every step of the way. He was always there for me, truly invested in my recovery, and made a lasting impact on my journey. Cresha helped me dive into my past and uncover the root of my struggles—something I had never been able to do before. Her insight and support were life-changing. And Coco… she was my light on the dark days. Her hugs, smiles, and kind words always lifted me up when I needed it most. Thanks to Northbound, I’ve found hope again. I’ve started building a life I’m proud of. I will forever be grateful for this place and the people who gave me a second chance.

I will always hold Northbound and the staff there very close to my heart. Unfortunately I have been to countless treatments. But fortunately I found Northbound to be my safe place and home. David Gates is truly a gift and my guardian angel! I don't even have the words to describe my utter and sincere gratitude for this man. Cherish is such a special woman! She effortlessly shows true concern and support for every client she's works with and I love this woman. Holly is one of the most beautiful and special souls I have ever worked with and met. There is nothing that I have had to go her for help with that she didn't atleast help me find the answer. Soge has such a gentle softness to her that I am able to get fully honest and vulnerable with all of myself. Dustin has always met me exactly where I am at. He's honest with the hard truth while still staying loving and kind. Now a quick but deep appreciation for Ryan, Brian, Anthony, Destiny, Candice, Tammy, Tiffany, JJ, Michael (with his southern accent) Marissa, Wendy, Amanda, CoCo, Big country, Beth, Erin, Mike, Albert, Ahmad, Michelle, Kenneth, the kitchen staff, the sweet woman who clean up after us. And truly every single person who is there most days helping us all find life and living again. I am not longer stuck and hopeless. I believe anyone who wants to find a new way will find it here.

Response from the owner
Thank you so much for your kindness, Shaylen! We are deeply committed to providing a supportive and safe environment for everyone who turns to us. Your words means a lot to our entire team. Wishing you continued strength and all the best on your journey ahead!
