The Edge Treatment Center
If you or someone you know, in Laguna Beach, California, are struggling with drugs or alcohol, we can help. Call now.
Laguna Beach is one of California's most treasured coastal towns. Known for its rugged cliffs, art festivals, and independent spirit, it has drawn creatives and free-thinkers for over a century. From the historic Pageant of the Masters to the winding trails of Heisler Park, the city blends artistic energy with breathtaking natural scenery.
But even in a place as inspiring as Laguna Beach, addiction continues to affect individuals and families every day.
Between 2018 and 2020, Laguna Beach reported 14 drug and alcohol related deaths, 608 emergency department visits, and 273 hospitalizations tied to substance use. For a small city, these numbers reflect a quiet struggle happening just beneath the surface.
In a town where perfection is often public, addiction can stay private. Whether it begins with weekend drinking, prescription pills, or high-functioning substance use masked by success, it's easy to lose control. Getting help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a return to the clarity, strength, and purpose you've had all along.
Let us lead you through a tailored treatment plan designed for your unique needs.
Getting help in Laguna Beach doesn't mean giving up your sense of freedom or identity. Whether you need full-time support or flexible care that fits your schedule, there's a path forward that meets you where you are.
Detox is often the first step in recovery, especially for substances with physical withdrawal symptoms. In a medically supported setting, your body has the chance to stabilize safely. Clinicians monitor your progress and help ease discomfort while preparing you for the next phase of care.
Residential treatment provides round-the-clock support in a structured, healing environment. It's ideal for individuals who need a break from everyday triggers or time to rebuild stability and self-trust.
Programs often include individual therapy, group counseling, experiential therapies, and skill-building activities.
If you're ready for treatment but want to stay connected to your life, outpatient rehab offers flexibility with consistent care. Many Laguna Beach residents find outpatient treatment to be the right fit when balancing recovery with work, family, or creative pursuits.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP):
Full-day therapy sessions several times per week, with evenings spent at home.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
A more flexible schedule with a focus on group and individual therapy.
Telehealth Options:
Secure virtual sessions that allow you to stay engaged in treatment without commuting, ideal for those with travel limitations or busy routines.
Sustained recovery is a long game, and Laguna Beach residents know that consistency is key. Aftercare keeps you grounded through alumni check-ins, recovery groups, sober community events, and ongoing access to support when you need it most.
You don't have to go back to your old life without a plan. Aftercare makes recovery durable and life beyond treatment feel full and connected.
Substance use doesn't look the same for everyone. That's why treatment in Laguna Beach is designed to address both the substance and the person behind it, with care plans that consider mental health, trauma, and lifestyle.
In a city known for its upscale restaurants, art galleries, and beachside wine bars, drinking can feel like part of the lifestyle. What begins as casual or social can quietly become dependency, especially when used to manage stress, anxiety, or isolation. Many residents find themselves drinking more than they planned, more often than they admit, and for reasons they never expected.
Treatment for alcohol addiction begins with honest support, not shame. It includes personalized therapy, relapse prevention tools, and if needed, a safe medical detox to help you reset and begin again with clarity.
Addiction doesn't discriminate by zip code, even in smaller, affluent communities like Laguna Beach, the opioid crisis has found its way in. What may start with a prescription for pain or surgery can evolve into long-term dependency. Illicit pills, often laced with fentanyl, only raise the stakes.
Opioid treatment may include behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, all aimed at giving you back control over your health and your life.
Though often associated with other regions, meth use in Laguna Beach has quietly grown in recent years. Its appeal as a “functional” stimulant is deceptive, masking the long-term damage it causes to mental clarity, relationships, and physical well-being.
Meth recovery is possible, especially with a treatment team that understands how to rebuild a life around structure, support, and self-worth. Recovery includes focused therapy, peer connection, and tools for lasting change.
In Laguna Beach, access to healthcare is common, and so is the quiet progression from managing pain or anxiety to struggling with dependency. Benzodiazepines, stimulants, and pain medications can create a powerful hold, even when taken as prescribed.
Treatment for prescription drug addiction often begins with a safe taper or detox plan, followed by deep therapeutic work to address the emotional or physical triggers that led to use.
Many individuals don't struggle with just one substance. Alcohol and benzos, meth and opioids, or rotating patterns of misuse can quickly create dangerous, overlapping dependencies. Laguna Beach residents facing polysubstance use need an integrated approach that addresses every layer of the issue.
Treatment plans are customized to address all substances involved, while also treating co-occurring mental health issues and building a foundation for sustainable recovery.
Achieve new growth with our dedicated care, designed to help you overcome challenges and thrive.
We don't just offer treatment, we build relationships. Each care plan is built around who you are and what you need to heal, whether that's structure, flexibility, community, or personal growth.
