Behavioral Health Treatment at SCBH

For those experiencing behavioral health issues, there are treatment programs at South Coast that can help. We offer a variety of therapy modalities, including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT is a type of psychotherapy that encourages people to accept and accept their thoughts and feelings rather than battling or feeling guilty about them. It focuses on six fundamental processes: cognitive defusion, acceptance, mindfulness, self as context, values, and committed action. The goal is to improve psychological flexibility and the ability to engage in positive, values-based actions.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a popular therapy that focuses on recognizing and challenging negative thought patterns and beliefs. It assists individuals in developing healthy thought patterns and habits. CBT is useful for a variety of mental health concerns, such as depression, anxiety disorders, and phobias, since it breaks down large problems into smaller sections.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): This is a type of cognitive-behavioral treatment that blends traditional CBT procedures with mindfulness-based practices. It is especially beneficial for people with borderline personality disorder and those who self-harm. DBT emphasizes the importance of balancing acceptance and transformation, assisting individuals in managing their emotions and improving their relationships.
• Problem-Solving Therapy (PST): PST is a cognitive-behavioral intervention that teaches people how to better handle life’s obstacles and tensions. It emphasizes precisely recognizing problems, developing practical solutions, and then executing and assessing these answers. PST can help with depression, anxiety, and ordinary stress.
• Motivational Interviewing (MI): This is a counseling strategy that assists people in resolving conflicted sentiments and fears in order to locate the internal motivation needed to change their behavior. It is frequently used in the treatment of addiction. Empathy, avoiding conflict, adapting to adversity, and promoting self-efficacy are all components of MI.
• Adventure Therapy: Adventure Therapy is a type of psychotherapy that mixes outdoor activities with psychological treatment. It includes activities such as hiking, rock-climbing, and wilderness adventures, which provide possibilities for experiential learning and personal growth. It is intended to promote teamwork, self-esteem, and problem-solving abilities.
• Expressive Arts Therapy: This therapy uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It includes subsets like:
  • Art Therapy: Utilizes drawing, painting, and sculpting to express emotions and thoughts.
  • Music Therapy: Involves using music to address emotional, cognitive, and social needs.
  • Psychodrama: A therapeutic approach where clients use spontaneous dramatization and role-playing.
• Trauma Therapy: This is a type of treatment that identifies and highlights the influence of a traumatic experience on a person’s mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. It includes subsets like:
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR): A structured therapy in which the patient is encouraged to briefly focus on the trauma memory while concurrently experiencing bilateral stimulation (usually eye movements), which is related with a decrease in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.
  • Trauma-Focused CBT: Tailored for individuals suffering from trauma-related symptoms, combining trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive-behavioral techniques.

Mental Health Treatment at SCBH

If you or a loved one are seeking treatment for addiction, South Coast Behavioral Health is here to help. The first step in treating addiction is a medical detox. This means using drugs to manage withdrawal symptoms.

Our medical detox program in California is staffed by caring and compassionate professionals who can provide you with medications to manage your withdrawal symptoms.

At South Coast, we take pride in offering care that is closely tailored to specific issues. To that end, we offer gender-specific detox programs, with medical detox for men in Irvine, CA, and medical detox for women in Huntington Beach, CA.

After detoxing, proper treatment can begin.

Treatment for substance abuse takes place along an entire spectrum of care. Along that entire spectrum are various behavioral therapies, support groups, and the use of medically-assisted treatment (MAT).

These levels of treatment are, in order, as follows:

Residential Treatment in California

After successfully completing medical detox, you’ll receive inpatient treatment in Orange County California. There, you’ll receive medically-assisted treatment and dual diagnosis treatment to deal with any cravings or co-occurring mental health issues you may be battling.

We also offer residential treatment facilities in Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Huntington Beach for those who desire gender-specific treatment. There, patients get round-the-clock medical attention and monitoring while living at the institution full-time.

In addition to individual and group counseling and medication management, you’ll also have access to leisure activities and family support services.

Partial Hospitalization in California

Most clients start substance abuse treatment with South Coast in our residential treatment program. After completing that, many desire something that still provides structure and support, but with extra space and time to oneself. For that, we offer Partial Hospitalization in Newport Beach.

A step down from inpatient care but with more structure than conventional outpatient programs, partial hospitalization offers a good balance for those looking to ease back into normal life. Clients can receive care five to seven days a week for a number of hours each day, returning back to their homes in the evening.

This way, they can recover without putting their daily lives completely on hold, receiving intense therapeutic interventions like group and individual therapy, skill development, and medication management as necessary.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment in California

For those leaving inpatient residential treatment or partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are yet another gradual step forward on the road to recovery.

With a focus on group therapy, individual counseling, and education, clients undergoing Intensive Outpatient Treatment in Newport Beach can meet three to five days a week. Each session lasts three hours.

This level of care requires the least amount of attendance at a facility.
