The Edge Treatment Center
If you or someone you know, in Huntington Beach, California, are struggling with drugs or alcohol, we can help. Call now.
Huntington Beach is the heart of Southern California surf culture. Known around the world as “Surf City” it's a place where oceanfront energy, community pride, and coastal beauty come together. From the iconic Huntington Beach Pier and historic downtown to Bolsa Chica's peaceful trails and the rich legacy of surf history, this city has a distinct rhythm all its own.
But beneath the laid-back lifestyle and sunshine is a deeper issue affecting many individuals and families: addiction.
Between 2018 and 2020, Huntington Beach reported 195 drug and alcohol related deaths, 3,336 emergency department visits, and 1,718 hospitalizations linked to substance use. These numbers reflect a serious and growing concern, even in a city that outwardly seems idyllic.
In a culture that celebrates freedom and fun, it's easy for substance use to feel normal. When you're ready to make a change, the support makes all the difference.
Let us lead you through a tailored treatment plan designed for your unique needs.
Treatment in Huntington Beach typically begins with detox, followed by a customized plan that fits your lifestyle, severity of use, and personal goals.
Detox is often the first step. Our team provides medical supervision and emotional support to manage withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably. We help you stabilize so you can begin your recovery with clarity and confidence.
For clients who need a break from their environment, residential treatment offers a full reset. With round-the-clock care, therapy, and wellness support, you'll have space to focus on healing without distraction.
Outpatient treatment provides flexibility while maintaining structure and accountability. It's a great option if you have strong support at home or are transitioning from inpatient care.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP):
Intensive daytime treatment with medical and clinical support, returning home at night.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
Fewer hours than PHP, focusing on therapy, relapse prevention, and rebuilding life outside addiction.
Telehealth Options:
Secure, virtual care you can access from anywhere.
Recovery is ongoing. Our alumni and aftercare services keep you connected through peer groups, sober events, coaching, and resources designed to support your growth long after formal treatment ends.
Addiction looks different for everyone. That's why our programs are designed to address a wide spectrum of substance use challenges with personalized, compassionate care.
Huntington Beach has a dense concentration of bars, breweries, and nightlife venues, especially along Main Street and near Pacific City. Social drinking is woven into the culture here, but that constant exposure can lead to overuse. What begins as part of the surf-town lifestyle can quietly develop into dependence. When that happens, getting help isn't about giving something up, it's about getting your life back. Treatment includes medically supported detox, therapeutic guidance, and strategies to maintain long-term sobriety.
The opioid crisis hasn't spared Huntington Beach. From prescription misuse to fentanyl-laced street drugs, opioids have created widespread harm in the community. Many people never planned to become dependent, it often starts with pain relief and escalates into something far more dangerous. Our care model focuses on safety first, then long-term healing through evidence-based therapy and support.
Methamphetamine use continues to rise throughout Orange County, including in Huntington Beach. It's often linked to cycles of emotional volatility and declining health. Meth can severely impact mental clarity and relationships, making it one of the harder addictions to face alone. We offer structured treatment to help clients rebuild from the inside out.
In a high-performing, active city like Huntington Beach, prescription medication misuse can begin subtly. Whether it's stimulants for focus or benzodiazepines for anxiety, dependency can build over time, especially when prescriptions are easy to access. We help clients address both the physical reliance and the mental patterns driving it.
Many people in Huntington Beach struggle with more than one substance. Alcohol and cocaine, pills and cannabis, meth and benzos, the combinations vary, but the consequences often overlap. We create integrated treatment plans that reflect the full picture of your experience.
Achieve new growth with our dedicated care, designed to help you overcome challenges and thrive.
You deserve care that sees the whole picture. Our team takes time to understand your story, your strengths, and your struggles. From the first phone call to graduation day and beyond, we walk with you every step of the way.
