Neurobehavioral Health: Hoag Addiction Treatment Centers
Overview
Addiction is a brain disease. It is chronic and progressive, and it affects
the entire family. Treatment for addiction is as effective as treatment
for other chronic conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.
There are many addiction recovery programs available, but few that provide
the highest level of medically supervised, patient-centered care. With
significant expansion of inpatient, residential recovery, and intensive
outpatient treatment services in Newport Beach and Irvine, Hoag Addiction
Treatment Centers (HATC) provides the most comprehensive, vertically integrated
continuum available. The newest addition, SolMar Recovery, is a 21-bed
residential facility, which is unique in the state in that it is located
within an acute care hospital.
As a licensed hospital-based treatment center integrated within Pickup
Family Neurosciences Institute, Hoag provides evidence-based addiction
treatment services that successfully guide families from their own trauma
of exposure to the addiction toward an effective partnership in the recovery
process. With more than 30 years of experience as Southern California’s
leading addiction medicine center, Hoag has treated thousands of individuals
and their families.
In 2017 and 2018, Hoag detoxed over 1,600 patients, treated approximately
400 residential patients, and provided treatment for more than 1,200 patients
in our outpatient programs. Our typical daily census of patients in addiction
treatment is approximately 80.
Hoag’s robust alumni community frequently interacts with those in
treatment, providing a thriving network of ongoing support and resources
for lifetime sobriety.
