About AKUA Mind & Body – Addiction Treatment Newport Beach
Akua Mind & Body is a dual diagnosis addiction treatment center in Newport Beach, California. Their services include detox, inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, medication assisted treatment and aftercare. They accept most private insurances, and they have numerous paths for insurance verification.
This center is extremely well equipped and versatile, especially when compared to other rehabs. They offer just about every type of treatment for substance abuse and mental health, from holistic therapies to complete medical care. More uniquely, they’re neither a hospital nor a rehab only. They’re a mental health treatment facility that treats depression, PTSD, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other issues in patients with or without substance use disorder.
This center also offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction. MAT uses safer alternatives to addictive substances, in order to treat patients and wean them off of their addictive urges. Patients often have to get MAT at a specialized center and seek further addiction treatment elsewhere. Here, patients can get MAT and continue their treatment in one place.
This center is well liked by former patients, who cite a helpful staff, plenty of programs and lifelong support. Whether they’re seeking mental health treatment, addiction treatment, or both, prospective clients can get the help they need at this center.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The AKUA Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is perfect for people who have completed detoxification or primary care and are ready to return to work, school or other responsibilities, or who do not require a higher level of care. The AKUA Model of Care provides clinical treatment methods to help make positive changes in the patient's life. Individual counseling sessions, classes and group sessions led by their experienced team of licensed professional at our state-of-the-art facility in Newport Beach are available.
Aftercare
Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.
12-Step
Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.
Sober Living Homes
Sober living homes in California offers an intermediate sober environment that has less structure than inpatient rehab but more than typical home environments. This makes it a good option for those who have concerns about transitioning back to the "real world" after treatment. Residents can typically live at the halfway house as long as they want, if they are willing to follow house rules. These may include a curfew, chores, and maintaining a job.
Intervention Services
When an individual is in denial about their substance use disorder, their loved ones may organize a drug intervention in California. This effort involves gently but assertively confronting the individual about their substance use and sharing how it has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist may also attend this gathering. Their expertise with intervention services can prove helpful in guiding the conversation to a positive result.
Partial Hospitalization Program
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.
24-Hour Clinical Care
During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.
Medically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Insurance
Our Policy: AKUA Mind & Body – Addiction Treatment Newport Beach works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.
Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Dual Diagnosis
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.
Group Therapy
Exposure to traumatic experiences, especially those occurring in childhood, has been strongly linked to substance use disorders. Studies suggest that early traumatic experiences may increase risk of substance use disorders because of attempts to self-medicate mood symptoms associated with a maladaptive biological stress response. At AKUA, clients will receive two one-hour groups weekly with a highly-trained trauma specialist, in which they will learn about how trauma affects the psyche. Clients will learn how to identify and manage symptoms related to traumatic experience, rather that turning to drugs and alcohol.
Individual Therapy
At AKUA, they are committed to creating a strong alliance between therapist and client to promote healing and growth of the mind, body, and spirit. Clients will receive one 50-minute session weekly with a registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern to process individual issues. AKUA’s therapists utilize a holistic, non-judgmental approach that honors each individual’s unique strengths and potential for growth. They are trained in the psychodynamic approach, which is highly effective for examining the underlying causes of substance abuse. The goals of psychodynamic therapy are to increase the client’s self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior. A psychodynamic approach enables the client to examine unresolved conflicts and symptoms that arise from past dysfunctional relationships and manifest themselves in the need and desire to abuse substances.
Motivational Interviewing
For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Couples Therapy
Interpersonal relationships with spouses, partners, close friends and family, can often be a primary trigger for many individuals struggling with dependence on substances. While these relationships can often be a source of support for an individual in recovery, it is important to examine how these interactions can be unhealthy or holding one back from positive growth. It can also be a source of stress and anxiety, which often contributes to substance abuse. At AKUA, we provide one hour-long weekly group focused on relationships and family systems, which helps clients explore how their current behavior may be influenced by their family of origin. Clients will receive weekly meetings with a therapist to process any issues involving relationships or family. Clients will also have the opportunity to participate in couples and family therapy if it is clinically appropriate for their recovery.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma focused therapy in California that uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements, to help you resolve traumatic memories. This evidence based therapy is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating post traumatic stress disorder and other traumatic conditions. Following an eight phase protocol this approach helps reduce your emotional stress and fosters healing and resilience.
Family Therapy
Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.
Life Skills
Most people can maintain sobriety while in treatment, but the real challenge is transitioning back into the real world. At AKUA, we focus on life skills that will empower clients to make healthy decisions for their new sober life. Clients will participate in weekly groups focusing on problem solving, self-awareness, effective communication, assertiveness, resilience, coping with stress, and building self-esteem. Clients will also receive support with resume building, job or school applications, interview skills, job search, and placement with volunteer opportunities. AKUA encourages clients to discover (or rediscover) their passion, and assists them in identifying attainable goals for the future. This can give clients a sense of purpose, empowerment, and motivation, which is essential for a healthy and fulfilling life in recovery.
Nutrition Therapy
Substances can prevent the absorption of nutrients and cause damage to your body's systems. Nutrition therapy in California addresses the deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that are caused by substance abuse.
Experiential Therapy
The use of experiential therapy can be helpful for the treatment of behavioral disorders, including drug and alcohol addiction. This method teaches you how to release negative emotions and cope with pain from the past. Activities such as art, music, and animal care are used to facilitate this process.
