The Edge Treatment Center
If you or someone you know, in Stanton, California, are struggling with drugs or alcohol, we can help. Call now.
Stanton may only span a few square miles, but it carries a long, resilient history. What started as a patchwork of small agricultural communities has become a city proud of its diversity and deep roots. With landmarks like the Stanton Historical Society Museum and the cultural charm of Old World Village, it's a place that values community, history, and a shared vision for the future.
But even in this close-knit city, addiction continues to take its toll.
Between 2018 and 2020, Stanton reported 28 drug and alcohol related deaths along with 471 emergency room visits and 147 hospitalizations linked to substance use. For a city of just over 38,000 residents, these numbers reflect a silent crisis, one that too often goes unspoken behind closed doors.
Addiction doesn't always show up the way people expect. It can start with stress, pain, or even a social habit that slowly spirals into dependence. Whether it's alcohol, opioids, meth, or prescription drugs, getting help in Stanton can be the turning point toward healing, connection, and a better future.
Let us lead you through a tailored treatment plan designed for your unique needs.
If you're living in Stanton and battling addiction, recovery doesn't have to mean leaving your life behind. Treatment here can be both structured and flexible, depending on where you are in your journey.
Detox is often the first step, especially when physical dependency has developed. In a medically supported setting, detox helps manage withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably. Clinical staff monitor your progress and prepare you for the next stage of recovery.
For those needing a more immersive experience, residential treatment offers a live-in environment with 24/7 support, therapy, and routine. It's especially beneficial for people who need a break from triggers or unsafe environments.
Outpatient care allows you to get support while continuing to live at home or work. Whether you're transitioning from inpatient care or starting with outpatient, this level of treatment provides balance.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP):
Structured daily care several days a week with the flexibility of returning home each night.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
A lighter schedule than PHP, with several therapy sessions per week.
Telehealth Options:
Virtual therapy makes it easier to stay engaged in treatment, especially if transportation or schedule is a barrier.
Recovery doesn't stop when treatment ends. Ongoing support is often what keeps sobriety sustainable. Whether it's attending weekly alumni groups, staying in touch with a counselor, or finding community in sober social events, aftercare in Stanton helps you stay grounded.
Long-term recovery thrives when you have a plan and people who support it. That's what aftercare is for.
Substance use doesn't look the same for everyone. That's why treatment in Stanton is designed to address both the substance and the person behind it, with care plans that consider mental health, trauma, and lifestyle.
Despite its small size, Stanton is home to a number of restaurants, lounges, and social gathering spots that make alcohol easily accessible. For many residents, drinking becomes a routine part of daily life, until it becomes a coping mechanism. The transition from casual use to quiet dependency can happen slowly, often without others noticing. Recovery from alcohol addiction involves more than quitting, it means learning how to live, connect, and enjoy life again without relying on alcohol.
Treatment typically includes medical detox (when needed), individual and group therapy, and relapse prevention support.
Like much of Orange County, Stanton has not been immune to the rise in opioid use and fentanyl-related overdoses. Even a small number of pills, especially those obtained illegally, can contain deadly amounts of fentanyl. Whether the addiction started with prescription painkillers or street opioids, the risks are high and the stakes are real.
Opioid treatment combines behavioral therapy, medication-assisted treatment (when appropriate), and long-term planning to help break the cycle and support lasting change.
Meth continues to be one of the most dangerous and destabilizing drugs in Southern California, including in communities like Stanton. Its impact reaches beyond the individual, affecting families, jobs, and mental health at every level. Many people struggling with meth addiction feel isolated, paranoid, or overwhelmed, unsure how to even begin recovery.
Treatment focuses on rebuilding cognitive clarity, emotional regulation, and stability through therapy, peer support, and structure.
Addiction doesn't always begin with something illicit. Many residents in Stanton develop dependency after being prescribed medication for anxiety, sleep, or chronic pain. Over time, tolerance builds, and suddenly the medication that once helped begins to harm.
Treatment for prescription drug addiction includes careful tapering (when medically necessary), support for withdrawal, and a focus on the root causes behind use.
Some individuals find themselves struggling with more than one substance, alcohol and benzos, meth and opioids, or prescription pills and marijuana. Polysubstance use is especially dangerous and requires a treatment plan that takes every interaction and dependency into account.
Integrated care models address the full picture of addiction, so no piece of your recovery is left behind.
