Trauma-Informed Addiction &
Mental Health Treatment
Costa Mesa Addiction Treatment Center
We believe that life skills are necessary for living in recovery, so we help every individual thrive during and after their stay at Safe Harbor. It is our belief that addiction is merely a symptom of an underlying problem… a “Soul Sickness.”
A major component of our treatment program is a focus on discovering or rebuilding your sense of spirituality. Our nondenominational guidance encourages you to connect with your higher power for peace and strength. In addition to our comprehensive selection of traditional and alternative therapeutic modalities, we make sure each client thrives in the following practical life areas to ensure lifelong recovery.
What We Treat
At Safe Harbor Treatment Centers, we know that addiction is a complex disease. Our professional care team treats a wide range of addictions as well as the co-occurring effects and disorders that come along with it. Safe Harbor Treatment Center stresses the importance of a long-term recovery, both physical and mental. We understand that addressing these issues is a significant part of obtaining long-term sobriety. Our treatment programs are compassionately designed to cater to people suffering from these disorders, providing them the support and tools they need to lead a cleansed and fulfilled life.
Our approach utilizes a variety of holistic and traditional methods to target any area of your life that does not coincide with the path to wellness. Behavioral and mental health has the potential to cause turmoil in nearly every aspect of life, for not only the person with the behavioral health issues but their close family and friends as well. Many times, certain disorders are the cause for addiction or addiction triggers these issues. We aim to get to the underlying root of the problem and provide the skills and tools needed to regain control of your life.

Addiction impacts women differently than men. It only makes sense that we use a treatment approach that’s tailored to women. At Safe Harbor, our treatment protocols for men and women are separate, allowing us to properly help women through their unique issues as they heal from addiction. Our treatment philosophy is based on providing a safe space for women to honestly confront their addiction and helping them discover their path to sobriety. This is done through a unique set of therapies that are personalized to each client. Every woman who walks through our doors feels secure, loved, and accepted. This is the promise at Safe Harbor.


Men's Addiction Treatment Program
It’s no secret that men and women are different, and that’s especially clear in the male’s experience with addiction. It’s only logical that our men’s rehab program is distinct, addressing the unique struggles that men face when dealing with addiction. Our men’s program is individualized to each patient’s needs, and it’s designed to help men conquer addiction, rebuild themselves, and create a path to long-lasting recovery. Our men’s program includes dynamic treatment modalities that heal the root cause of your addiction, including psychotherapy with licensed psychiatrists, physical activities coached by physical trainers, and internal healing led by our spiritual director.
