The Edge Treatment Center
If you or someone you know, in Costa Mesa, California, are struggling with drugs or alcohol, we can help. Call now.
Costa Mesa is known for its high-end shopping, creative flair, and thriving culture. It's a city that draws people in with its style and energy. From art galleries and renowned restaurants to South Coast Plaza and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the city is a magnet for inspiration and self-expression.
But beneath the coastal charm, Costa Mesa also faces a very real public health challenge.
Between 2018 and 2020, the city reported 148 drug- and alcohol-related deaths, 2,526 emergency room visits, and 1,074 hospitalizations tied to substance use. These numbers reflect more than just data—they represent friends, family, and neighbors in need of real support.
Addiction in Costa Mesa doesn’t always look like the stereotype. It can affect professionals, parents, students, and anyone navigating the pressure and pace of daily life. And because the struggle often happens quietly, reaching out for help is a powerful act of courage.
Finding the right drug rehab in Costa Mesa is about more than treatment. It's about reclaiming your life, on your terms, in your community.
Let us lead you through a tailored treatment plan designed for your unique needs.
If you’re in Costa Mesa and ready to seek help, treatment can start with detox, where your system clears harmful substances under medical care. From there, you might enter inpatient care for structure, or begin outpatient care that works with your schedule.
Withdrawal can be physically and emotionally draining. Medically supervised detox gives you a safe, stable environment where your symptoms are managed and monitored. You don’t have to face those first days alone.
When life feels overwhelming, stepping into a residential program offers space to breathe. These live-in programs provide round-the-clock care, therapy, and healing structure. Many clients benefit from this level of support before transitioning to outpatient care.
Outpatient care gives you the flexibility to live at home while attending treatment. It's ideal for those balancing recovery with work or school.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP):
A structured, full-day treatment plan with clinical and therapeutic support.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
Fewer hours per week, focused on therapy, life skills, and relapse prevention.
Telehealth Options:
Online therapy and check-ins that bring support to wherever you are.
Whether you're stepping down from residential treatment or starting with outpatient care, these programs are designed to keep you connected, accountable, and moving forward.
Recovery continues after formal treatment ends. Aftercare helps you stay connected through peer support, alumni groups, events, and ongoing guidance that helps you stay steady.
Many people in recovery say that staying connected after treatment was one of the biggest factors in their success. Costa Mesa’s strong sense of community makes it easier to stay engaged and find purpose in your new chapter.
Addiction doesn’t follow a script, and neither should recovery. We work with individuals facing:
Costa Mesa is home to over 100 bars, breweries, and restaurants that serve alcohol. For some, what starts as weekend socializing can quietly turn into a pattern of daily use. In a city where drinking culture is part of the social fabric, it can be hard to recognize when fun turns into dependence. Treatment can include detox, therapy, and long-term strategies for relapse prevention and lifestyle rebuilding.
Like much of Orange County, Costa Mesa has been impacted by the rise in opioid and fentanyl-related overdoses. Proximity to major freeways and access to illicit pills or laced substances has made fentanyl especially dangerous. Treatment focuses on safety, stabilization, and building emotional resilience to avoid future relapse.
In an area with a high number of clinics and surgical centers, prescriptions for opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants can be more accessible than people realize. Dependency may begin with a legitimate need for medication but quickly spiral into long-term use or misuse. We provide medically informed care and therapeutic support to help clients safely taper and rebuild.
Meth is often linked to high-risk behavior and mental health deterioration—and Costa Mesa has not been immune to its presence. Meth-related ER visits have risen across the county. Our programs incorporate behavioral therapy, mental health support, and structured routines to support clear thinking and long-term progress.
Whether it's mixing alcohol with benzos, or opioids with meth, polysubstance use is more common than most realize. This complexity requires a nuanced treatment plan that addresses how substances interact physically and emotionally. Our integrated model helps guide individuals through a recovery process built for their unique needs.
Achieve new growth with our dedicated care, designed to help you overcome challenges and thrive.
We take time to understand who you are and what you need. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all, it’s built to match your goals, values, and pace.
