The Edge Treatment Center
If you or someone you know, in Westminster, California, are struggling with drugs or alcohol, we can help. Call now.
Founded as a temperance colony in the late 1800s, Westminster began as a place deeply rooted in discipline, values, and community. Originally shaped by Presbyterian ideals and a commitment to sobriety, the city has transformed over the years into a vibrant hub of cultural identity and growth. Home to Little Saigon, the largest Vietnamese enclave in the U.S., Westminster blends heritage and progress in a way few cities can.
But even in a city born from the desire to fight addiction, substance use has become a quiet and growing challenge.
Between 2018 and 2020, Westminster experienced a rising toll 77 drug and alcohol related deaths, 897 emergency department visits, and 368 hospitalizations connected to substance use. For many families, these numbers aren't statistics. They're personal.
Addiction can touch anyone, regardless of culture, values, or background. Whether it stems from trauma, stress, chronic pain, or the weight of expectations, recovery begins with connection and support. Help is here, and it's built to meet you with respect, dignity, and understanding.
Let us lead you through a tailored treatment plan designed for your unique needs.
Treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. In Westminster, you'll find options that meet you where you are, whether you need full-time support or flexibility that fits your schedule.
For many, detox is the first step. Safely managing withdrawal symptoms in a medically supported environment allows the body to stabilize and gives the mind a chance to refocus. We make sure you're cared for with compassion and clinical excellence from start to finish.
Inpatient treatment provides structure, routine, and 24/7 care. It's ideal for individuals who need to distance themselves from triggering environments or who want a deeper, more immersive recovery experience. Therapy, peer support, and skill-building are core components of this phase.
Outpatient care offers the flexibility to get help while staying engaged with your daily life in Westminster.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP):
Comprehensive care during the day, returning home each evening.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
A less intensive schedule with therapy sessions and group work multiple times per week.
Telehealth Options:
Attend therapy and counseling sessions remotely through secure virtual platforms, especially helpful for those with mobility or time limitations.
Once formal treatment ends, recovery keeps going. That's where aftercare comes in. Alumni support in Westminster includes peer groups, recovery resources, social connections, and consistent check-ins, so you're never left to navigate life after treatment on your own.
Recovery is a lifestyle, not just a phase. Aftercare helps you live it fully and confidently.
Recovery in Westminster starts by treating the whole person, your story, your culture, your needs. Our treatment programs are designed to support people with a wide range of substance use challenges.
There's irony in the fact that Westminster was originally built on temperance. Today, alcohol is as present here as in any modern city. Whether at family celebrations, cultural gatherings, or everyday social events, drinking can seem normal, until it becomes a problem. Over time, what starts as habit turns into dependence.
Treatment for alcohol addiction includes therapy, relapse prevention, and, if needed, medically supported detox. But more than anything, it's about restoring control and reimagining life beyond the bottle.
The opioid crisis hasn't spared Westminster. Many residents begin with prescription painkillers following surgery or injury, only to find themselves unable to stop. Others may encounter counterfeit pills containing fentanyl, a substance responsible for a growing number of local overdoses.
We treat opioid addiction with care that may include therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and long-term strategies to rebuild your health, relationships, and self-worth.
Meth use continues to rise throughout Orange County, and Westminster is no different. The stimulant appeal may start as a way to cope with long work hours or emotional stress, but the damage runs deep. It often affects concentration, mood, physical health, and decision-making, leaving people isolated and overwhelmed.
Our meth recovery programs focus on structure, peer support, and evidence-based therapies that help restore stability and resilience.
From anxiety meds and pain relievers to stimulants for focus, prescription medications can become addictive without warning. In Westminster, access to healthcare is common, and so is the quiet drift into dependency when medications are misused or over-relied on.
Our programs help clients taper safely off addictive prescriptions while building healthier ways to cope and move forward.
In many cases, addiction involves more than one substance. Alcohol and pills, meth and opioids, or various combinations can create complex, intertwined patterns of use.
We specialize in integrated treatment that addresses the whole picture, physically, mentally, and emotionally, so nothing is left unhealed.
Achieve new growth with our dedicated care, designed to help you overcome challenges and thrive.
We understand the unique mix of heritage, culture, and modern life that defines Westminster. That's why our treatment isn't generic, it's personal, culturally informed, and grounded in real human care.
