Detox Then Residential Same Campus in Mission Viejo

If you're planning detox then residential on the same campus, Sullivan Recovery runs both levels of care at 24731 Via San Fernando in Mission Viejo, so you stay put from your first day of withdrawal management through residential treatment. Stepping down from detox doesn't mean changing facilities, and the same private rooms and outdoor spaces are part of both stages. You can read how detox works on the medical detox page.

Detox then residential on the same campus

Medical detox here is physician-led withdrawal management with medication support, including medication-assisted treatment when it's clinically appropriate. Clients have private rooms and nursing support, and they keep their phones so they can stay in touch with family. The medical team plans around the withdrawal profile of each substance. Alcohol and benzodiazepines, for example, call for a supervised taper, and fentanyl is managed with buprenorphine or methadone support.

When detox ends, the move into residential treatment happens on the same grounds. Residential care is round-the-clock in a private, home-like setting. The care team includes physicians, nurses, and addiction specialists, and the clinical team is led by Chandra Medina, LMFT, who is the Clinical Supervisor. The campus is certified by the Department of Health Care Services (Certification 300738AP).

Clinicians personalize the intensity of the schedule as someone stabilizes, so the first days of residential care don't have to look like the fifth week. Co-occurring mental health conditions are treated alongside substance use through dual diagnosis care, and the same plan follows you from detox into residential treatment.

What the residential days include

A sample residential day starts with wake-up and optional mindfulness at 7:00 AM and runs through breakfast, a morning group at 8:30 AM, and individual therapy at 10:00 AM. Early afternoon holds surf therapy, music therapy, outings, or a fitness rotation, followed by an afternoon group and dinner. A recovery meeting at 6:30 PM may be 12-step, Wellbriety, or a facilitated discussion, and lights are out at 10:00 PM. Clinicians adjust these blocks to each person's needs, and the schedule differs from the detox schedule.

Morning groups use CBT, DBT, or process work and are led by licensed clinicians. Afternoon groups cover psychoeducation, relapse prevention, or specialty topics. Evenings include personal time for your phone, journaling, or the campus lounge. The residential treatment page lays out the full plan.

Family isn't left on the sidelines. The team offers education and guidance for loved ones, and family therapy is part of care. Before discharge, the team builds an aftercare plan with continued therapy, support groups, and an alumni community, so support doesn't stop when residential treatment does.

What happens when you call admissions

You call 949-836-7180 or use the website form, and you can say if you're asking for yourself or for someone else. A confidential clinical assessment of history, health, and needs comes first, and it's used to build the plan. Admission may follow that assessment, so a bed isn't confirmed on the first call.

The team verifies insurance by asking for your carrier and member ID, then contacts the insurer to map detox and residential coverage. When the plan requires pre-authorization, staff handle it. Sullivan Recovery is in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, and Beacon Health Options, and it also works with PPO out-of-network plans, which may reimburse a portion of care. What a plan pays varies by policy, and the team explains deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket maximums before admission. People whose plans don't cover the full cost can ask about private-pay options.

If you want to see the campus first, tours are available. From John Wayne Airport it's a short drive up I-405 N and CA-73 N to Oso Pkwy, and the campus is minutes from the 73 freeway.
