Neurobehavioral Program: 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 treatment facility, which is unique in the state in the co-location with an acute care hospital.

As a licensed hospital-based treatment center integrated within the 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 Hoag detoxed over 900 patients, treated approximately 190 residential patients, and provided treatment for 950 patients in our outpatient programs. Our typical daily census of patients in addiction treatment is 80.

Hoag’s robust alumni community frequently interacts with those in treatment, providing a thriving network of ongoing support and resources for lifetime sobriety.
