Personalized Treatment & Empathetic Support
You're Not Alone. Recovery Is Possible.
Substance use disorder and alcohol addiction continue to present genuine heartbreak in our communities. We believe recovery is possible for everyone. No matter the challenges, our team is here to help forge a path toward healing and balance.
The 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health from SAMHSA reports that approximately 48.5 million people aged 12 and older had a substance use disorder in the past year, including 29.8 million with alcohol use disorder. [1]
Primary mental health challenges also present a disheartening picture. Of all U.S. adults, more than 19% had an anxiety disorder in the last year, over 4% experienced bipolar disorder at some time in their lives, and the lifetime prevalence of PTSD was measured at 6.8%. [2][3][4]
Despite these numbers, we confidently believe that every person’s journey toward healing is worth pursuing. With primary pathways for both mental health and substance use disorders as well as co-occurring disorders, Able To Change Recovery can offer personalized care to make sure individual needs are met and that every client feels supported and understood. This is a judgment-free zone and a safe space for healing.
Able To Change Recovery
Our trauma-informed approach to care prioritizes empathy and practical assistance.
True recovery means rebuilding every area of life, not just managing symptoms. Our flexible programs and high staff-to-client ratio mean clients are seen, heard, and guided through healing at the pace that fits them. The goal is helping every client establish a safe, healthy baseline for the life they want to build.
Treatment Begins With a Clinical Assessment
The foundation of every personalized treatment plan
Every client at Able to Change Recovery starts with a bio-psycho-social assessment that identifies the appropriate level of care, evidence-based therapy modalities, and clinical support needed for their situation. This assessment ensures every treatment plan is built around the individual's clinical needs, life circumstances, and recovery goals, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Able To Change Treatment Experience
Evidence-Based & Holistic Therapy Modalities
Our therapy programs draw from a comprehensive range of evidence-based and integrative modalities. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy, EMDR, trauma processing therapy, and motivational interviewing, delivered in family, group, and individual formats. Together, these approaches address the full picture of recovery, from underlying causes and coping skills to relational healing and long-term resilience.

Admissions Process
The early stages of recovery may look different from client to client, but they all begin with a single step: Connection. We invite anyone considering professional treatment or with a loved one who needs help to call and ask as many questions as needed.
We will verify insurance coverage and conduct pre-screening assessments to determine the best path forward to recovery. If there’s a chance we’re not a good fit, we’ll ensure the client gets connected with another reliable and trustworthy Orange County rehab.
After admission, clients will participate in a Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment to identify strengths and create an individualized treatment plan. Treatment will begin at the appropriate level of care as soon as possible.
In-Network with Most Major Insurance Carriers
Treatment may be covered at a fraction of the typical out-of-pocket cost.
As an in-network provider with most major insurance plans, Able to Change Recovery offers treatment that's more accessible than typical out-of-network rehabs. Many clients pay only their plan's deductible and copay for residential, PHP, IOP, and extended care programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions from Clients and Families Considering Treatment
Look for accreditation (such as Joint Commission and DHCS licensing), multiple levels of care (residential, PHP, IOP), specialized programs for dual diagnosis, in-network insurance options, and a treatment philosophy that addresses underlying causes. Personal fit matters too. Touring the facility and speaking with admissions can help you find the right match for your situation.
Able to Change Recovery is in-network with most major insurance carriers including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, and Tricare. Verify your coverage online or call our admissions team to confirm what's covered under your plan.
Treatment costs vary based on level of care, length of program, and insurance coverage. Most clients pay through insurance, with out-of-pocket costs depending on individual plan benefits. Our admissions team can help you understand what coverage you have and any expected costs before you begin.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the most intensive outpatient level of care, with structured therapy 4 to 6 hours per day, 5 days per week. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a step-down level offering 9 to 12 hours of structured therapy per week, designed for clients ready to reintegrate work, school, or family responsibilities while continuing treatment.
Yes. Family therapy is a core component of our treatment programs, recognizing that recovery affects the whole family system. We provide family education, counseling sessions, and support resources to help loved ones understand addiction and mental health conditions and play a meaningful role in their family member's recovery.
Recovery doesn't end when formal treatment does. Our Extended Care Supportive Housing offers continued structure and peer support after primary treatment. We also provide aftercare planning and connections to community recovery resources to help every client maintain progress long-term.
Treatment length depends on individual clinical needs and the level of care. Substance use disorder programs typically last 60 to 90 days across various levels of care. Mental health treatment may extend longer based on the conditions being addressed. Each treatment plan is individualized, with the timeline determined during the initial bio-psycho-social assessment.
