Can we Answer any Questions?
It’s natural to have plenty of questions when considering a drug and alcohol treatment provider for yourself or someone you’re concerned for. Our list of frequently asked questions is based on the questions we receive most often.
Have a question you don’t see below? Contact us today and we’ll see if we can answer it.
Can I bring my smartphone / laptop / tablet with me?
Yes. We’re a device-friendly treatment center.
Can I smoke / vape while with The Edge?
Sure – we allow nicotine products, provided you use them in designated areas.
Can I go to work and/or attend school when I’m at The Edge?
Absolutely. Many of our clients continue working during their time with us as well.
What is medication-assisted therapy?
Abstinence-based treatment works, but it may not be the best path for some. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of prescription medication therapy to treat addiction.
MAT medications include Subutex, Sublocade, and Vivitrol. When used in a controlled, clinical setting, these medications are safe and effective.
MAT gives every person a chance at a successful recovery.
Do you accept patients on maintenance therapy?
Yes! We happily work with those already on drug replacement and maintenance therapy programs.
Where is The Edge Treatment Center located?
Our Southern California drug & alcohol treatment center is in the heart of dynamic Orange County. We’re close to the beach, mountains, and many of SoCal’s world-famous attractions.
Does The Edge Treatment Center offer sober home arrangements?
With us, you’ll have access to Orange County’s best sober living providers. We’ll help you find a sober home that meets your needs.
Can I visit my loved one during their treatment?
Yes! We encourage family interaction during treatment and offer a family program as well.
How much does it cost to attend The Edge Treatment Center?
Health insurance can cover up to 100% of treatment. For those without insurance, please reach out to an Edge representative for more options.
How long do people stay with The Edge?
Time spent with us is up to the individual. Typically, people stay at The Edge for as short as a few weeks or up to a year. We prefer to focus on the needs of an individual’s recovery rather than how long someone stays with us.
What types of counseling does The Edge offer?
We provide a broad range of group and individual therapies. With us, your loved one will learn positive coping mechanisms, how to avoid harmful thought patterns leading to substance use, how to relate to others dealing with the same issues and getting to the root causes of their substance use.
How often will my loved one meet with their therapist?
Typically, your loved one will have one weekly session with an assigned therapist. However, they also have 24/7 access to treatment staff and medication if needed.
