About Hope By the Sea

The program accepts many of the major insurers. They also take TRICARE. They’re in network with many insurance companies and also take many out-of-state insurers.

The first step in substance use treatment is detoxification. The center offers medical supervision for your detox to keep you safe and comfortable. The time it takes to detox varies depending on your age, state of health, and the duration of your substance use.

After detox, if appropriate, you’ll move to the residential treatment program. This is an inpatient program that offers individual and group therapy. You’ll learn the 12 Step program while taking part in exercise, social activities, rest, and reflection. You’ll eat healthy nutritious food during your stay. The idea is to instill good habits that you’ll carry into your everyday life that will help you succeed with your sobriety.

After the residential program, you can transition to the intensive outpatient program. The program offers continued therapy and support including daily or weekly individual and group therapy. The intensive outpatient program is also an option if you can’t take the time for the inpatient program. The focus is on relapse prevention and teaches you how to handle life’s daily challenges without using substances to cope.

There are some more relaxed outpatient programs available as well as specialty tracks. The specialty tracks include the dual diagnosis track for those with co-occurring mental health disorders. A co-occurring disorder is a mental health diagnosis in addition to substance use disorder. Some examples include depression or anxiety.

The center offers special programs for Veterans and their families. They also have an executive treatment program that allows you to be available for daily business and work obligations while participating in your treatment. There’s a Christian track and a non 12 Step track as well.

Please read this review! I recently spend 15 days at one of their 5 houses. The "detox" house I stayed at is the ratty, dirty one they don't show on their website. Yes, it's a 2.6 million dollar house but has not been "deep cleaned " in who knows how long. Most all things in kitchen were rusty, old and filthy. Not enough silverware, plates, etc. Dishwasher was broken, stove was disgusting and the only way I'd sit on the couch was on a comforter, it was filthy and stunk. The outside patio four chairs had old, torn up cushions that should have been replaced years and years ago. With the house making 30k/day ($5k/day per client) you'd think the owner would be mindful of her cash cow. The "original"carpet throughout the house apparently was cleaned a couple days b4 I got there but I always wore my sliders. The master had carpet in bathroom (yuk). My bed bed was comfortable, after I took off the plastic mattress cover that actually had a huge blood stain on it, NO JOKE. Now, this was my 5th DETOX place and the ABSOLUTE worse! It literally took them 10 HOURS to get my medication. In my initial call, they promised me I would receive medication for detox quickly. I literally sat in the office shaking so bad by this time that I couldn't not even hold a cup of water. Their only response was, "we are busy, we have lots of clients, doing the best we can" -10 hours!! Totally unacceptable. My whole purpose for choosing this place was they ensured me over the phone that I would get meds quick. That was a HUGE lie. I was so desperate, I waited. I did survive so, I am grateful for that. THE NEXT HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT was this...I went in thinking it was a 30 day residential program at the house I checked into. Never have I experienced or heard of a program that after ~2weeks, they would move clients into one of their other houses which were "sober living" houses. On top of that, they would literally come to the client and tell them they have 30 mins, pack their belongings, they are moving. For me, that in itself caused more anxiety. I did not check in knowing your forced to move to a sober living environment after just 2 weeks. The only positive, imo, to that, is clients were still required to go to group from 9a-4pm once transferring to SL. My first 5 days, 3 ladies checked in and left within a day or two due to the facilities inadequacies. One gal was taken to an Urgent Care and left to wait (by herself) for an hour after her appointment was finished. She literally could have used. Another gal was "forgotten" at church. The one PRO about this program was the "groups " Most of the facilitators were quite good but some had absolutely no control over the group. All in all, groups were fair. The food was fine. They did provide prepared meals Mon-Fri. Most of the staff were amazing, with a few exceptions but that's anywhere you go, I suppose. A special shout out to Gregg, Nicole, Ivan and Colin. They were compassionate and kind yet kept us in line, so to speak. Greg especially was awesome, hard working and professional. I could tell, Gregg really has his heart in this, wanting and helping those who are struggling with addiction. If you are looking for a treatment center that incorporates the 12 steps of AA, this is not the place. They did not have one AA, NA or any offshoot of AA books. Only one other person, other than me really spoke of AA. THATS OKAY, AA isn't for everyone but IT DOES WORK, if you work it. The last thing I will say is if you are an alcoholic or struggling with alcohol and want to be with mostly alcoholics, this is NOT the place for you. Most clients are struggling with heroine, meth and fentynal. I'm not disrespecting, I'm just stating the truth. For me, it was fine as addiction is addiction, no matter what we choose. I want emphasize, I am not bitter or angry, not the purpose of this review. I simply want to help anyone who, like me, gets what they are told. Any treatments center is better than none but I would never refer anyone to Hope by the Sea. Good luck to any and all in your road to recovery.

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.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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. Hope By The Sea - Del Obispo offers a full-service residential drug and alcohol rehab for women and men. Their inpatient residential treatment program is designed for people who need to get away from the fast-paced outside world in order to reflect and find serenity. Their treatment program integrates a well-rounded balance of individual and group therapy sessions, 12-step meetings, social activities, exercise, healthy meals and time for rest, relaxation and reflection. Learning these habits in everyday life is essential for people who are determined to succeed in their addiction recovery after the inpatient addiction program is complete.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Hope by the Sea is a full-service treatment center that provides intervention, aftercare and sober living in Orange County. Sober living homes are safe, drug and alcohol free, environments in which peers support each other in their sobriety and learn new ways to cope with problems and conflict. Staff at their sober living home are often recovering addicts and alcoholics themselves and are able to provide support and advice to people who are newly sober. Because residential drug and alcohol rehab is just the start of recovery, oftentimes sober-living homes help people further develop healthy coping skills and daily habits to prevent relapse.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

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. Hope By The Sea - Del Obispo's addiction treatment facility offers a residential detoxification program that is the beginning of healing the person's mind, body, and spirit. True treatment and recovery does not begin until the initial detoxification process is complete. During detox the person will still be 'in the fog' of their addiction and also processing the withdrawals of the chemicals leaving their system.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

this facility is just... horrendous, honestly. i transferred from another facility where i did majority of my detoxing, but i was still feeling sick when i got to HBTS. keep in mind that i was coming off methadone (it can take months to get out of your system. longest half life out of any opiate) but because of my insurance, i was technically never labeled as detox when i got there, meaning i couldn't see the "doctor" everyday. only once a week. i got there at 10:01 PM and the cutoff to see the doctor is 10. i had to wait till the next day. like bruh it's ONE minute but ok. i didn't get to see an actual doctor the whole time i was there, only PAs and a nurse practitioner. so on my first full day, i spoke to teresa the PA and carlos the PA. both were rude, accused me of drug seeking (for subs??? ok...) and told me i didn't "meet the criteria" even though i was scoring a SEVENTEEN. i was sick as a dog for a whole week there. it was unbearable. the next week i spoke to kayla, NP, and she agreed to put me on subs ONLY if i agreed to sublocade, so i said yes, but they weren't gonna start me on subs till the sublocade was approved. my insurance needed an authorization from the prescribing physician, and i waited for weeks for the doctor to fill out these forms. it never got done during my whole stay. the actual doctor is only at the center on tuesdays so she had 3 full days to get it done. my insurance faxed it over three times trying to get them to hurry up and do their job. i think the doctors name is dr. kay but im not sure because i never spoke to an actual doctor! all the staff keep quitting as well so they are understaffed and it shows. i have written down the good and bad staff, so please give adam, kathryn (younger kat), josh (clinical director), ivan, collin, and david (therapist) a raise!!! i also got harassed by multiple men and women here and nothing was done. i also had women out to get me here because i said no to hooking up with them. BEWARE if you are beautiful and have a good personality because it will attract people to you that have bad intentions and it will guarantee there will be jealous women out to get you. this is also a facility where multiple people have relapsed and been ALLOWED TO STAY. they let way too much slide. i also had a roommate who was at a coed house and was getting harassed and nothing was done for her either, both of us left only a couple days apart because of these unfortunate circumstances. once you get to PHP, they only provide lunch and some groceries which go quickly so if you don't have ebt, you're screwed. also, i've been to other facilities and never had such a bad experience. the only good groups are run by abby and chad (wellbriety). if you come to this facility expecting a supportive community and looking for connection with other addicts, you're coming to the wrong place. another problem is that in PHP, they require you to hit 3 meetings a week but don't provide transportation. so if you even need to go to the store, good luck. this place costs $5k a day. my insurance paid upwards of $120k for me to get harassed by more than 7 people and for me to not get the meds i needed. don't come here.

Hope by the Sea is the worst rehab facility I've attended. I was sucked in by all the ridiculous talk of luxury and the beautiful Cook house. Lies, lies. The detox houses are rundown apartment buildings where 4 girls sleep in 2 bedrooms with 1 bath. The house managers are all in drug court or graduated only a few months ago. They are young and inexperienced. They leave the women sleeping in a house with no onsite supervision. If you are detoxing you need more care. It's very dangerous. They do not self dispense medication to you. You must open the bottles and take the pills yourself while they wear rubber gloves. We sit in the living room together watching inappropriate drug movies on Netflix. I watched Blow several times. Not by choice. So uncomfortable. The first night I arrived my credit cards were confiscated and placed outside of my control. When I got home I found hundreds of dollars charged to my credit cards at various local gas stations. Unbelievable!! What a violation that is. They offer cheap junk food for meals. Pasta for dinner. When you're hurting really bad, they offer coffee. Can you imagine? The staff have relationships with each other and inappropriate conversations about relationships and drug use. The detox houses are filthy. Moldy shower curtains, blood on the floors from other women having periods, stale, hard beds with no air conditioning or heat. You beg for heat. Maybe you'll get it. It depends on the house manager. Roosters crow across the street every morning at 4 am. You'll never get any sleep. High speed pursuits along the main Street all the time. The location of these flop houses are horrible, cheap locations. The barrio. I made it as far as 9 days before my detox from a 20 yr addiction from benzos was not tended to medically and I went psychotic. The Cook house manager didn't know how to treat me. I was literally dying of untreated anxiety. Crying miserably. Shaking, ready for seizure with no medical supervision. The house manager just threw her phone down in the counter and screamed that she was done with me. She was sick and I was causing her to possibly lose her job. Unbelievable!! Then the rumors started flying around the house that I was there to spy on the other clients because my bed was next to the window. I could hear everything. What??? I couldn't hear anything other than my brain and heart ready to explode. I begged to see a doctor. But was never tended to. After I truly lost it over and over with no idea of what was happening to me, I told them I needed to leave. Everyone was upset with me. Threw their hands up. I packed my belongings and ordered an Uber ride home to sanity. Don't be fooled. I paid $24,600 cash to be treated so miserably. My HIPAA rights were violated by communications with my family that I specifically told Hope not to contact. My stay was to remain confidential. I demanded it. Now I'm forced to seek legal counsel to sue them for HIPAA violations per the request of Ms. Penny. Not a single phone call. They want to keep my money. I overheard so much during my stay. Took lots of notes. I'm not a crazy woman. Today I'm clean and sober and enrolled in a treatment center near my home. Im going to do everything I can to warn people about this place so they won't be put through the terror I was.

I will start with the staff at the houses were very friendly ; only reason i gave them two stars. Now the reason i gave them only two stars is because I was given false information about my Fiance and I being at the same location. I specifically recall them asking if we were okay with being at two separate locations down the street from each other and told them no; upon arrival we were dropped off at two separate locations. Once I was in my detox house, in the nurses office they kept your shampoo and such products in a bin with my name on it, I also had a larger makeup box with these items. Also took my wallet with my Fiance's and my own IDs along with two packs of cigarettes in a locker, also in the nurses office. I had a roommate, she used the dressers for her clothes and I used the closet for mine. After having continuous drama with other female clients we decided to leave together, I realize this was my mistake for not taking all of my stuff when I left but I also am a struggling addict. I never received any phone calls from the rehab about returning or why I left either. When I reached out to have my belongings sent to a different rehab a few days later; I was told if I didnt pick them up by 430 pm that day, my belongings would be THROWN AWAY. The next day the rehab I entered had to order an Uber to go pick up my belongings. I specified not to forget my wallet, two packs of cigarettes, my makeup box, and a coloring book that had beem misplaced at group location. I was assured all of my belongings were together. Once they arrived I immediately looked for those specific items and they WERE NOT THERE. Mind you these are items that were under the staffs supervision. I reaches out again and was reminded that any lost items were not their problem that I signed a form releasing all responsibilities of Hope by the Sea, had it been clothing left in my room I would understand but these items were not in my possession but the staffs. The only contact i could reach was very rude and unhelpful telling me it was not their responsibility. I'm extremely frustrated with this encounter and find it more frustrating knowing that they are aware they are dealing with newly sober addicts. Moral of the story dont leave any belongings in their offices, you wont get any of it back. Only things I received back was MOST of my clothing and HALF of my roommates clothing. UPDATE: they answered my recuirter stating that I signed a document that if I left AMA they weren't responsible for my belongings. Yet several days later they sent my clothes BUT NOT the items that were in the Techs possession.

If you're looking for somewhere to get you back on track, and heal some of the issues you may have had in the past, here is the place to go. It's always key to remember what you get out of recovery is what you give into it. All of the staff we're friendly are extremely reasonable! I was sad to leave, but they will make sure you're ready
