Our Treatment Programs
At Brea Hills Recovery, we understand that substance use rarely exists in isolation. Many individuals struggling with addiction also experience mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma-related disorders. This intersection — known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders — requires specialized, integrated treatment to ensure lasting recovery.
Our Orange County Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center is designed with a single mission in mind: to provide comprehensive care for First Responders and other professionals who have dedicated their lives to serving others. In our private, secure, and welcoming environment, we help clients heal physically, mentally, and emotionally, addressing both addiction and the underlying conditions that fuel it.
The Importance of Treatment
Traditional addiction treatment programs often treat substance use in isolation, neglecting the mental health conditions that contribute to the cycle of addiction. Research shows that co-occurring disorders are common among individuals with substance use disorders.
Ignoring mental health in addiction treatment often leads to relapse. By treating both disorders simultaneously and holistically, our dual diagnosis program addresses the root causes of addiction, increasing the likelihood of sustained recovery.
For First Responders, the risk is even higher due to:
