Types of 12-Step Programs in Orange County

When looking for a 12-step program in Orange County, it’s important that you determine what kind of treatment you need first. 

Inpatient 12-Step Programs: Inpatient programs specialize in medical detox, typically followed by 12-step-based residential treatment. These programs are best for people who aren’t sober yet and provide a safe, comfortable environment for withdrawal. This is a critical first step for many people, as withdrawal from some substances like opioids and alcohol can have fatal side effects if not treated in a clinical environment. Being in a monitored environment also prevents the risk of relapse which can be common in early recovery. 

Outpatient 12-Step Programs: Outpatient programs are a great next step after completing detox, offering supportive, consistent meetings where you can get treatment while still maintaining a normal schedule. These meetings can range in frequency from 5 days a week to 1-2 times a week depending on the program and needs of the individual.

Just like recovery without 12 steps, this approach encourages participants to draw on the support of peers.
