History

Orange County Detox was started in 2005 to offer the public an alternative to short-term hospitalization. Many individuals that enter a hospital for alcohol poisoning, alcohol detox or severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms are discharged soon after they are detoxed, rehydrated and medicated. They are given a script and told not to drink alcohol anymore. That treatment model is fairly ineffective if the goal is lifelong sobriety. The problem lies in the cost associated with hospitalization that can be in excess of $1,500.00 per day. Most hospitals cannot afford to right off expenses incurred from adequately treating individuals with alcohol problems. The relapse probability is much too great and that usually means the hospital will not get paid. The hospital prefers a quick solution (minimize costs) that often leaves out an effective treatment model. Most alcoholics are uninsured and cannot afford costly hospital bills; so they opt out of getting any help. They continue their self destructive lifestyle often self-medicating their problems. We realized that a person cannot just stop drinking and turn their life around. They have to be given the tools to do so. At Orange County Detox we developed a proprietary alcohol detox program that not only separates the alcohol from the individual in a safe and comfortable manner but we also educate the client from a basis of self knowledge because we have lived it. We offer lifetime commitment to our clients; which you will find usually has a cost associated with it at most hospitals and alcohol rehabs throughout the United States. Not here! If you’re alumni of Orange County Detox and need to talk or come to a meeting we extend an open invitation for life. We are not a sterile clinic; we want to see and hear from our alumni. The greatest motivation we get in doing our day to day job is seeing the mended families, the children’s smiles, the appreciative mother and father and most of all the physical and psychological changes that are so obvious when a sick person regains their health. We are here today because we believe we offer the best solution to a seemingly hopeless situation. There is a way out and we know it because we live it. The beginning of Orange County Rehab came in response to many of our clients’ need for extended care. Many of our clients have experienced several admissions into various types of alcohol rehab centers. Chronic relapse is a very real phenomenon throughout the history of alcohol addiction and recovery. Orange County Rehab began as an alternative alcohol treatment program for clients categorized as “high risk for relapse” clients. It is designed to give these clients an opportunity to stay close, feel safe and remain in a structured environment. We now offer basic extended care alcohol programs from 30 to 180 days. We want our clients to enter back into life feeling confident and motivated and not to hide from life and their responsibilities. The general rule is the longer a person stays in alcohol rehab the greater their chances of staying sober over the long haul. Each person is assessed and evaluated separately to see which program is best for them. We priced our programs to offer our clients the best value for their money. We have not seen or heard of any facility that offers what we offer at a better price.
