About Dee’s House

Located in Fountain Valley, California, is Dee’s House, a drug and alcohol rehab center for women. The program is residential, and the house is run by women for women over 30 years old. They also offer treatment for dual diagnoses and have aftercare services.

They treat a maximum of six women at a time, so the care is very individualized. There’s a real emphasis on spiritual healing and finding your life’s purpose and reason for living.

This program was a lifesaver. A relative of mine spent 90 days there and it was the best thing she could have done for herself. It's for women over 30 who have alcohol and/or substance abuse issues. The therapists, programs, spiritual programs, mindfulness and Kundalini yoga helped to guide her to recovery. One of the wonderful things is that it is ALL women and they understand the pressures and triggers that women today are faced with. The house is warm and inviting and she said it had a quiet, spiritual presence everywhere, lending to positive energy. The healing that happens there remarkable. Everyone there played their own important part in her recovery. The support, love, and peace that everyone poured upon her made a huge difference in the quality and intensity of her recovery. Thank you Kimmy, Kimberly, and all who make Dee's House such a successful recovery center. !!!!!

It sounds cliche, but Dee's House literally saved my life. I came to Dee's straight from a psychiatric hospital, where I had gone out of desperation because I had given up and was ready to end my life. What I found at Dee's not only made me want to live, it gave me strength and courage to know my true self and my purpose in this world. I didn't just learn how to live without drugs and alcohol; I learned to love myself.I was surrounded by like-minded women in my age group who were on the same healing path and who, out of darkness, were clawing their way back with me to love and light. The intimacy created at Dee's by purposely keeping the facility small (6 women at a time) helped me to build trusting bonds with the women with whom I was healing. We shared such deep, sacred dark truths as well as transformative healing moments, that these women will be with me for the rest of my life's journey.I will be forever grateful to Dee's House, Dee's owner Kimmy and the rest of the Angel tribe at Dee's for giving me my life back. I now love this gift of life.

Dee's House saved my life and at 45 years old I don't think I could have stayed sober at any other residential treatment program. Dee's House is for mature women 30+ therefore I wasn't surrounded by young women in their 20's who were just starting their journey. My journey through this world is well on its way and my struggles with Alcohol and Drugs had brought me to my knees. I went to Dee's broken and looking for help from like minded women. I didn't want to be treated like a child because I have one of my own and cleaning house was not a lesson I needed to learn. I needed to learn how to forgive myself and love myself again so that I could repair my relationships with the family I created and then nearly destroyed. Thank you Kimmy and all the Angel tribe at Dee's for giving me my life back. I'm 2 years sober and loving every minute of it!!

Accepted Insurance

Dee’s House works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Treatments

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 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.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
