About Huntington Beach Hospital – HB Hospital

Huntington Beach Hospital in Huntington Beach, California, has a comprehensive mature adult mental health and behavior department. Inpatient, intensive outpatient, and outpatient services are offered. Assessments, case management, and individualized care plans help each patient receive the care they need in the most effective methods available.

Traditional and evidence-based treatment including individual, family and group therapy, recreational and expressive therapy, music and art therapy, are all a part of the inpatient program. Case management and medication management are supervised by certified professionals and experienced support staff. Individuals are given resources, support and treatment to help them stabilize their mental health enough to return home safely.

For those who don’t require 24/7 care and support, there are outpatient services. Those who do not require hospitalization but still are in need of more help than traditional outpatient treatment provides can choose the partial hospitalization program. This runs five days a week and offers individualized care plans and treatments. There is free transportation to the program. Group counseling and therapy activities are provided five days a week with weekly visits with a staff psychiatrist and medical stewardship. Individual counseling is provided as needed for individual success. Breakfast, snacks and a hot lunch are all offered daily for participants in both the partial hospitalization program and the outpatient program.

Huntington Beach Hospital has a geriatric emergency room as well as medical services on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. You can call ahead and reserve a time and space in the emergency department prior to arriving, which keeps wait times relatively low.

Patients have written reviews praising staff for their kindness and compassion. They also are, for the most part, pleased with how quickly and efficiently their visit was handled and that they were satisfied with the care provided and the treatment plan created.

I arrived to the ER and was greeted politely at the Reception window. I was then examined and treated by nurses who were professional and competent and compassionate. I was never waiting long, like I have at larger hospital ER s. I did have to wait for a few hours for a room to become available upstairs due to the high volume of ill patients this time of year. I was comfortable and checked on while receiving breathing treatments in the meantime. The entire Staff were polite and professional and accommodating to my needs to ensure my care was priority.The communication by each Staff member was excellent. I never knew of this facility but I will recommend it in the future.

This lady s response was if I were her I would go home upon hearing this response my friend asked this lady for her name she refused to give her name and disappeared from the front desk came back about five minutes later my friend asked to speak with a supervisor as I could not talk, I lost my voice he had to ask multiple times as she refused to get a supervisor suddenly a security guard by the name of Jenkins comes out to the waiting room with a nurse by the name of Alex accusing me of yelling at the lady at the front desk I was totally shocked that i was being falsely accused of yelling at her because I had totally lost my voice and could barely even whisper then the security guard after falsely accusing me tells me all I want to do is argue I am so disgusted that I was treated this way and that no one cared about how seriously sick I was I was later informed by a nurse named Alex that the lady at the front desk her name was Abby I don t know whether I was lied to or not so I will provide a picture of this monster to give someone advise to go home when their throat is closing up on them and they are severely sick should warrant termination ASAP the security guard is a joke a liar and should be fired immediately I will never come back to this hospital again and will be filing a formal complaint first thing in the morning

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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 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.
sober-living iconSober 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.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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 icon24-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 iconMedically Assisted Detox
When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Recreational therapy is included in alcohol and drug addiction treatment to focus on engaging you in healthy activities that reduce your cravings and improve your overall health and well being. When you participate in group sports, art, or nature walks, you develop new interests and find a meaningful way to spend your time and reduce your cravings.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Not going to come back to this hospital ever again. Wish I could give negative stars. Horrible bedside manner from the DR. I was not treated for what I initially came into the ER for. The ER doctor I was assigned completely disregarded my blood pressure that was 182 and only gave me treatment of an IV (the least they could do) I explained how I was experiencing dizziness, almost collapsing, cloudiness, weak with shortness of breath. The nurse tried to bring to his attention of how high my blood pressure was and he ignored her, twice. He basically told me to suck it up and gave me medication for nausea? The nurse that discharged me could see I was defeated in my position and unheard, she told me that my blood pressure was dangerously high and that I should try to get seen at a different ER. This doctor was useless and obviously does not care about his patients. I hope I can help someone AVOID getting any type of care from here because of how I was unseen in the emergency of my health and the nurse even validated that. Thank you to the nurse who did care enough to let me know and I appreciate your care. Try FV or Saint Joseph over this place.
