Couples rehab in Orange County

When to consider it

When couples rehab may be a good fit

Couples treatment can be a good fit when both partners are willing to take part and each of you agrees to your own assessment.

• 01

  You call, or send the form

  You tell admissions what is happening and whether you think couples rehab might fit.

• 02

  We check your benefits

  With your permission, we contact your insurer and find out what your plan covers.

• 03

  You hear what it means

  Admissions explains your deductible, your copay and which level of care your plan supports, in plain terms.

• 04

  You decide

  If you want to go ahead, admissions walks you through what happens next.

• Can unmarried partners go to rehab together?

  Yes. The program is for two people in a relationship who both agree to be assessed, and you do not need to be married.

• Can same-sex couples attend couples rehab?

  Yes. Couples rehab is open to any two partners in a relationship, including same-sex couples, as long as both of you agree to be assessed.

• Are there drug rehab programs that take couples?

  Yes. Enhance takes couples for drug rehab, alcohol treatment and mental health care, and each partner is assessed separately before a plan is set.

• Do we have to have the same diagnosis?

  No. One partner may need detox and a higher level of care while the other starts in IOP. Joint sessions are added when both assessments show they would help.

• What if only one of us is ready for treatment?

  The partner who is ready can start their own treatment now. Couples sessions can be added later if the other partner decides to take part.

• What if only one partner has a substance use disorder?

  Couples rehab can still fit. The partner with a substance use disorder follows an addiction treatment plan, and the other partner can join couples or family therapy.

• Is couples rehab right for us?

  It can be when both of you want treatment, there is no violence or pressure, and each of you agrees to your own assessment. Either of you can call admissions to talk it through.

• What levels of care are available for couples?

  Each partner can be placed at any level Enhance provides: detox, inpatient, PHP, IOP, outpatient or virtual care. Your own assessment decides where you start.

• How is mental health treated when couples attend rehab together?

  Each partner's plan can include dual diagnosis care, which treats depression, anxiety or trauma alongside substance use in one plan.

• What happens if one partner relapses during treatment?

  That partner's team reviews their plan and may recommend a higher level of care, such as detox or PHP. The other partner's treatment plan continues on its own.

• Can we live at home during treatment?

  Yes, in PHP, IOP and outpatient care you sleep at home. If home is not a sober place, admissions can tell you whether our supported living homes, which offer sober living during treatment, fit either plan.

• Can a relationship survive rehab?

  Some couples stay together after treatment, and some decide to separate. Treatment focuses on substance use and mental health, and staying together is your decision, not an outcome we promise.

• What if there is domestic violence?

  Tell admissions. Joint sessions are not part of the plan when there is violence, monitoring or pressure. If someone is in danger right now, call 911.

• Will my partner hear what I tell my therapist?

  No. What you say in your individual sessions stays private, and you choose what to bring into a couples session.

• Does insurance cover couples rehab?

  Each of you has your own insurance benefits, and admissions checks both plans. Coverage depends on each plan's deductible and copay, and on the level of care each insurer approves.
