Alcohol is one of the most commonly used intoxicating substances on earth, except for, perhaps, coffee. Unlike coffee, Alcohol is also incredibly addictive, despite the fact that it’s normalized, encouraged in the form of craft beer and spirits, and even judged if you don’t drink. Some studies suggest that 84% of Americans drink at least occasionally. But, according to the National Survey on Drug Abuse and Health, 14.5 million Americans have an alcohol use disorder. 5.2 percent of the American population is addicted to alcohol.
Alcohol use disorders damage you, your relationships, your work prospects, your family, and everyone around you. And, while no one chooses to be an addict, you can always choose to get treatment and recover. Only about 1.1 million, or about 7.2% of all persons with alcohol use disorder, get treatment on a given year, but treatment works. In one study, 60% of individuals who attended therapy and follow-up therapy with support groups were still clean and sober after 16 years.
Attending rehab can help you to get your life back. And, if you need help, the medical team at Compassion Recovery Center is here to help. Our staff deliver a combination of medical expertise, Masters-level education, and passion for helping people to become the best versions of themselves. Our alcohol rehab in Orange County offers inpatient and outpatient care, a detox center, and, of course, the beautiful, relaxing scenery of California’s west coast.
Alcohol rehab is a multi-part treatment designed to help you move past chemical addiction, identify the underlying causes behind addiction, and build the skills and behaviors needed to live a good life without alcohol. At Compassion Recovery, we approach every recovering person with care. You, your addiction, and your problems are unique. That’s why we build custom programs using EMDR, CBT, and REBT behavioral therapies. We back these with counseling, group therapy, and a host of supportive therapies to help you relax, destress, and get in control of your own emotional well-being. And, of course, treatment is delivered by our licensed and trained staff to ensure you get the best possible treatment.

Compassion Recovery Centers offers a virtual IOP program for those seeking treatment for alcoholism in Orange County and beyond. Our innovative and effective virtual alcohol rehab program provides you with the tools needed to overcome alcohol abuse and find freedom in sobriety.
Our staff are licensed, trained, and qualified medical experts. Our therapists are master’s level. We want you to get the best of medical expertise, no matter what treatment program you get. But, we also hire for compassion and passion. Helping people is more than a paycheck, and the staff at Compassionate Recovery are invested in what they do, helping our patients.
We offer full mental health treatment and support. That means you can attend with a dual diagnosis to receive personalized treatment for your mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. Almost half of all persons with a substance use disorder have a mental illness. We believe it’s important to offer full support for both, so you can get the help you need, no matter what your mental health.
Your family is essential to your life and to your recovery. Family relationships, family motivation, and social support are the driving factors behind recovery and even attending recovery in the first place. Compassion Recovery Center is a family-friendly center. We offer family therapy, to help you work through your addiction while rebuilding relationships with your loved ones.
Anxiety and depression in early recovery are incredibly common. In fact, most people experience feelings of anxiety, depression, or paranoia for the first 1-12 months following their last dose. These feelings can get in the way of treatment. They can cause relapse once you leave. And, they can reduce your quality of life. We deliver full mental health treatment from the start, so you can get help.
Whether you need stress management, exercise, good nutrition, or creative therapies, we can help. Compassion Recovery offers a range of complementary therapies designed to help you improve your mental health, build skills, manage your emotions, and improve your physical health. That’s backed by physical activities and outings like kayaking and hiking in one of the most scenic locations in Southern California.
Compassion Recovery Centers takes a personalized approach to treatment. That means every person who steps through our doors will receive a unique program, designed around their specific needs, mental health, and physical health. Our approach to personalization means our program is perfect for anyone with a dual diagnosis, with a complicated history of seeking out treatment, or with a severe addiction. However, in most cases, when you enter our Orange County detox, your path to recovery will look something like this:
Dialectal behavioral therapy is about treating the whole person and their experiences – with the goal of building mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-acceptance. This therapy is commonly used for adolescents and teens with low self-esteem, with suicidal ideation, and who struggle to see themselves as worthwhile of being helped. This focus on emotional regulation can be immensely helpful to teens, who often greatly struggle with regulating emotions, both because of hormonal fluctuations and because of inexperience. Its primary goals include creating coping skills, building distress and stress tolerance (e.g., self-soothing, improving the moment, distracting the self), and to build interpersonal relationship skills, so that teens are better able to reach out, to build positive relationships, and to get social support from their peers.
Our alcohol detox center is in Laguna Beach, where you can relax and recover from alcohol use disorder at our own pace. In some cases, we may recommend a Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program. In others, we’ll offer medical monitoring, counseling, and support as you move through on your own. In most cases, your detox period should be over in about 2 weeks, after which you can move on to full treatment.
We offer psychotherapy, namely behavioral therapy, from master’s level therapists. Our treatment options include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. These will help you to process emotions, recognize underlying problems behind addictions, and build new habits, thoughts, and behaviors that will help you move through life without alcohol.
Our medication assisted treatment (MAT) programs are available where needed to help you navigate alcohol use disorder. If you think you need a MAT program, contact our counselors for a consultation. If we decide that a MAT program is the best treatment for your needs, we’ll discuss that with you ahead of time. In most cases, that will mean getting a Disulfiram, Naltrexone, or Acamprosate prescription.
We offer long-term follow-ups and support, whether you live in Orange County or travelled to attend our program from out of state. Contact us to learn more about our support options and possibilities.
From our licensed staff, dedication to personalized treatment, and years of expertise in treating alcohol use disorders to our beautiful rehab center in Laguna Beach, Compassion Recovery Centers strives to offer the best possible recovery experience.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
