My nephew attended The Edge’s Mental Health sister program called The Forge, and I can’t express how grateful I am for the incredible staff and support he received. He frequently mentioned how kind and attentive the housing staff—especially Trevor, Joe, and Ann—were ...
About The Edge Treatment Center
The Edge Treatment Center offers recovery programs for those dealing with substance use issues. Situated in Santa Ana, California, the facility is perfectly located to serve individuals throughout Orange County. With access to transportation and major highways like the 5 and 55 freeways, it provides a convenient option for people in the surrounding areas who are seeking support.
The facility specializes in working with clients who struggle with alcohol use, opioid addiction, methamphetamines and even inhalants. Utilizing evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication assisted treatment or MAT, they help clients manage withdrawal symptoms and triggers.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
They don’t stop at treating addiction—The Edge also helps individuals dealing with mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD and mood disorders. Their trauma-informed care creates a safe space for clients to address past experiences that could be contributing to their addiction.
Flexible Programs That Fit Your Life
One specialty I appreciate about The Edge is how they understand that not everyone’s situation is the same. Their partial hospitalization program offers intensive treatment during the day while still giving clients the flexibility to return home at night. For those who need more flexibility, their intensive outpatient program allows clients to receive care while balancing work, family or school commitments.
Aftercare and Sober Living Support
The facility offers sober living homes to help clients transition from treatment back into everyday life. These homes provide a supportive, drug- and alcohol-free atmosphere where people can build new, healthy habits and stay accountable in a community of others working through similar challenges. Plus, the center provides detailed aftercare planning to ensure that clients continue receiving support once they’ve left treatment.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.
While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.
During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.
Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.
Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.
While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.
The use of experiential therapy can be helpful for the treatment of behavioral disorders, including drug and alcohol addiction. This method teaches you how to release negative emotions and cope with pain from the past. Activities such as art, music, and animal care are used to facilitate this process.
