Getting here

From Costa Mesa to the Tustin clinic

PHP and IOP for Costa Mesa residents meet at our clinic on Newport Avenue in Tustin, about 7 miles from Costa Mesa City Hall by road. Most of the trip is the 55 north, from Newport Boulevard to the McFadden Avenue exit.

7 miles

Costa Mesaby roadOur office in Tustin

  • In person

    PHP and IOP meet at the Tustin clinic, and the 55 runs most of the way from Costa Mesa.

  • Join from home

    When the 55 is not an option, PHP and IOP also run by video, and so does outpatient therapy.

Enhance has no office in Costa Mesa. PHP and IOP take place in Tustin, and you go home each evening.

Outpatient rehab levels for Costa Mesa residents

Costa Mesa residents can choose PHP or IOP at the Tustin clinic or outpatient therapy by video. Each treats addiction and mental health together when both are present.

In person

  • PHP

    Most of your day is spent in treatment at the Tustin clinic, often five days a week, before you go home.

  • IOP

    Treatment at the clinic takes a few hours a day, several days a week, in the morning or evening.

PHP and IOP meet at our Tustin clinic, 14742 Newport Ave STE 208, and you go home each evening.

From home, by video

  • Virtual PHP

    Full-day PHP treatment runs by video when staying home makes more sense.

  • Virtual IOP

    IOP for addiction or mental health meets by video a few hours a day.

  • Virtual outpatient

    Ongoing outpatient therapy continues by video once you have stepped down.

Enhance runs virtual PHP and IOP itself, and admissions sets up outpatient and video therapy through Virtual Treatment Center (opens in a new tab), our virtual program.

How to check an outpatient program's license

California's Department of Health Care Services keeps a public list of the alcohol and drug treatment programs it licenses or certifies.

Checking that list and a program's accreditation shows you who oversees the care before you commit to anything.

Check a program's state license or certification in the California DHCS facility directory.

  • Look up the state certification

    The DHCS list is sorted by county, so search the Orange County entries for the program's name. Enhance's DHCS certification number is 300410AP, and it expires March 31, 2027.

  • Check the accreditation

    The Joint Commission publishes its accreditation records. Enhance is accredited for Behavioral Health Care and Human Services under organization ID 660231.

    Read about our accreditation

  • Ask what happens if outpatient is not enough

    A program should tell you plainly when a higher level of care fits better. Detox and inpatient care are part of Enhance's continuum, and admissions arranges your stay.

Signs outpatient rehab may or may not fit

Outpatient rehab suits people who can stay safe at home between sessions. Admissions will tell you if your answers point to detox or inpatient care instead.

Outpatient care may fit if

  • Home is a safe, steady place to spend the night.
  • You can get through the time between sessions without using.
  • Your job or family needs you for part of each day.
  • You recently finished a higher level of care and want to keep going.

Start with detox or inpatient if

  • Withdrawal makes you sick, shaky or confused when you stop.
  • You need alcohol, benzodiazepines or opioids to get through the day.
  • You have returned to use after outpatient care before.
  • Someone at home is using, and it makes stopping hard.

If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.

Therapies in outpatient rehab

Your therapists choose methods with published research behind them and adjust your plan as you go.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you notice the situations and thoughts that lead to use, and practice a different response.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
DBT builds skills for riding out cravings, stress and strong emotions without drinking or using.
Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT)
REBT works on the demanding beliefs that turn a bad day into a reason to use.
EMDR therapy
EMDR helps you process painful memories when trauma is part of your substance use.
Group therapy
Group sessions let you practice new skills with others in outpatient care, guided by a licensed therapist.

How your outpatient plan is set

  • Assessment first

    Your clinician looks at substance use, mental health and daily responsibilities before choosing PHP, IOP or outpatient therapy.

  • Shared goals

    You agree on goals with your therapist, and the plan changes as you make progress.

  • Medication

    If medication would help, a licensed psychiatrist prescribes it and reviews it with you.

  • Stepping down

    As you move from PHP to IOP to outpatient therapy, each step comes with a plan for the next.

Substances and conditions treated in outpatient rehab

Outpatient addiction treatment covers drug and alcohol use, and dual diagnosis care treats a mental health condition alongside it.

Cost and coverage

What to expect when you call about outpatient rehab

Admissions starts with what is happening and ends with what your plan covers, and you decide what happens next.

  1. You reach admissions

    Call or send the form, and tell admissions what is happening and which substances or symptoms are involved.

  2. A short screening

    Admissions asks about use, withdrawal and home to check that an outpatient level is the safe place to start.

  3. A benefits check

    With your permission, admissions contacts your insurer and walks you through your deductible and copay.

  4. Your decision

    If you want to start, admissions explains the next steps, and nothing happens until you agree.

Enhance is in network with most commercial plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Optum, Health Net and Blue Shield of California. Admissions can verify your benefits before you start outpatient care.

Each plan covers outpatient care differently, and a verification is not a guarantee of coverage.

Verify your benefits

Share your name, phone and insurance, and admissions will call back to explain your outpatient coverage.

Benefits vary from plan to plan, and a verification is not a guarantee of coverage.

    Outpatient rehab is treatment you attend while living at home. At Enhance it means PHP or IOP at the Tustin clinic, or outpatient therapy by video through our virtual program.

    If the assessment shows you need detox first, admissions will explain where that care takes place. They also plan your move into outpatient rehab once detox ends.
