Our primary goal is uncovering the root cause of your addiction and assist you in finding your purpose. We put forth every effort to educate, strengthen, and empower you to live a fulfilling life free from drugs and alcohol.
CALIFORNIA TREATMENT PROGRAMS
Leading Orange County Addiction & Mental Health
At 12 South Recovery we combine therapy, counseling, and medical support to create programs that help individuals struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Our treatment programs are designed to safely step down from drug use, while also healing emotional, behavioral, and mental health issues and treating the underlying causes. We use evidence-based treatment, medical staff, and licensed therapists to ensure every patient suffering from mental health or addiction issues has the tools to recover and regain control of their lives.
12 South Recovery’s addiction treatment and mental health programs begin with our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), followed by our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and then Outpatient Programming (OP). Each phase is structured according to the needs of the individual and allows for a slight reduction in structure each time.
With our help, clients are able to safely and gradually acclimate back to their lives and society, equipped with the tools, coping mechanisms, and ongoing support they need to maintain their recovery efforts.
Local HOUSING AND SOBER LIVING Options

Local housing options provide a supportive, safe, and structured environment that eliminates triggers and distractions, and focuses on long-term recovery. Here, individuals can receive tools, coping mechanisms, and tailored treatments to overcome challenges and establish a new way of living free from addiction or mental health issues.

OUR THERAPIES
Healing from addiction and mental health issues is a journey that takes time, effort, and commitment. At 12 South Recovery, we understand that detoxification and ceasing substance abuse are just the first steps. In order to effectively manage cravings, develop healthy habits, and prevent relapse, therapy is a crucial aspect of all our treatment plans.
Our team of licensed and experienced therapists will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs, both in individual and group settings. One-on-one sessions are designed to tackle specific issues or concerns, while group therapy allows for shared experiences and a sense of community.
Therapy has also proven to be essential in achieving lasting results, particularly when dealing with co-occurring diagnoses. Without this critical component, the risk of relapse and returning to old habits is much higher. Our therapists provide ongoing support throughout the recovery process, helping patients identify triggers and warning signs to avoid potential setbacks.
Don’t let addiction or mental health issues control your life any longer. Reach out to us today to learn more about our comprehensive treatment programs and how we can help you take the first step towards a healthier, happier life.
