About Providence Mission Hospital Laguna Beach

Mission Hospital, located in Laguna Beach, California, offers dual-diagnosis inpatient care, partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), and general outpatient treatment to adults and adolescents. Services include a tailored program for moms, age-specific programs, and aftercare support.

Inpatient care is for those who need treatment away from their home environment. Services at Mission Hospital include individual, group, and family therapy; medication and case management; mental health education; and relapse prevention planning. They offer classes in anger management, occupational and life skills, and grief management. Holistic treatment options are also available, including yoga, Zumba, acupuncture, and spiritual care.

PHPs are full-day programs that allow participants to spend evenings and weekends at home. The PHP at Mission Hospital includes the same services as the inpatient program. If needed, participants can also get referrals to more intensive alcohol or drug rehab treatment.

There are multiple IOPs at Mission Hospital. All IOPs include the same services as inpatient care and meet for a few hours several times per week. The Maternal Mental Health IOP focuses on helping mothers function well while taking care of themselves and their children. The ASPIRE IOP is for teens ages 13-17 and provides therapy, coping skills, and wellness education. The VIBE IOP is for young adults ages 18-26 and helps participants learn key life and coping skills as they transition into adulthood.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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
Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.
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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The goal of nicotine replacement therapy in California is to mitigate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. It cuts down on your cravings by supplying a small dose of nicotine without exposing your body to the toxins of cigarette smoke.

I brought a friend to the ER, we were the only two people in there at 8am, they said that they needed to wait for a bed to open before they could admit my friend. We saw countless people come into the ER and were seen before my friend was finally admitted two hours later. By the way, they have a staff person come into the ER waiting room and ask very personal and probing questions of each patient. And while the questions and answers are done in a hushed tone, I was able to hear all conversations with all patients, so I assume others were able to hear as well. How about taking these patients into a room on the other side of the ER door to complete and ask your intake questions. Also, why do you have patients complete questions online only to ask the same questions again by intake staff. So inefficient and frustrating.

they didn t tell me about the showers. I didn t shower in days. They didn t tell me I could bring clothes from outside. I was wearing the same clothes for days. I found out very late. Needless to say I smelled bad. They made me sign paperwork while I was drugged up. They drugged me up so much I don t remember the COVID shot they said I got. Some nurse would mocked me in private and judge me. I just stayed silent in these situations because I didn t want to cause problems. They didn t take care of me. They drugged me up so much I couldn t eat much for the first couple days. I was diagnosed with anxiety in 2019 at Kaiser s ER. That was 2 years before going on a 5150 hold and being sent here at Providence Mission Hospital Laguna Beach. The doctor who diagnosed me at Kaiser said my severe lack of appetite came from the anxiety I felt. He advised just to think happy thoughts, therapy , and gave me medication. Because I was full of so much anxiety from not wanting to feel drugged up , I couldn t eat. Because I was drugged up, I couldn t express my thoughts when they gave me food. Because I couldn t express myself, I felt so much anxiety. I cried a lot. I may have needed help but they didn t help me take proper care of my hygiene. they insulted me to my face in private. they re decision to drug me up so much caused my appetite to get worse. I hated the weeks I spent here at Providence Mission Hospital Laguna Beach.The only good thing was visiting time which I found out all late about too. Like I said. Terrible. Smh. -.- I ll never feel safe in hospitals anymore.

After having to make a 2nd visit, this is one of the most incompetent groups of medical personnel you will find, Kaiser surpasses them I had a seizure, the doctor decided it was just trembling from hitting your head and prescribed tramadol, which increases the risk of a seizure. Following this a grand mal followed and my life forever changed, had he simply identified it for what the EMTs said and prescribed an anti epileptic like a doctor did after the 2nd, maybe things would be very very different. Oh wait, they would. The 2nd time it took them over 8 hours to provide an essential medicine and it just gets worse from there. Personally, I d risk the added 15-25 minutes to get to Mission or Saddleback in a life or death situation over being brought here.

I was here with my sister. I have been coming to this ER for over 40 years. Easy to check in. Front end very kind. Nursing Staff not listening very well. I told them she has had episodes like this. She does not respond well to a certain medication. They responded we are going to give her that medication and another. No adjustment to the information provided. Not impressed. Then the nurse in charge responded with attitude after being challenged on that fact. I simply said "someone should start listening"

One of the best hospitals in the U.S. (I have unfortunately been at hospitals in other states). I have spent a lot of time here over the years (months in total) and recently I spent just over a week after surgery and this hospital is as outstanding as I remembered. Everyone here is friendly and helpful and genuinely care about your well-being. I have been fortunate to have met some of the most amazing doctors here who have gone on to treat me going on two decades. Also, the food here is very good! For me, this hospital has set the standard by which all others are measured.

I want to thank Providence Doctors and Professional Staff. I was in the emergency room at 2:30AM on 2024-05-16 with a swolen bacterial infection above my right eye closing the eye lid. There were also welts on my forehead and scalp, and some with scabs. The Emergency Staff member immediately, took notice, smiled and quickly completed paperwork and added a bracelet onto my wrist then summoned DO Kenneth Waite. He immediately assessed what he observed and explained the situation to me as a bacterial infection and the onset of shingles. Within 10 minutes the DO then provided three medications to take immediatedly and forwarded five prescriptions to CVS in SC. Thank you Professional Staff and Do Kennither Waite. Today is Sunday 2024-05-19. I stayed away from Church today because I did not want to exposed anyone to possible Chicken Pox. To date the medications have intersepted the expansion of the Shingles and are eliminating the bacterial infection. I'm thankful to live in American and I thank the Lord for DO Kenneth Waite and those like him. Thank you.Lynn James Heacox

I have always had great experiences at this ER, Dr. Adams and nurse McKenzie are amazing- kind, caring, compassionate etc. no matter what I happen to be there for. So I hate having to write this, but after my visit last night, I hope I never have to return and would rather wait hours at MV Mission than be treated the way I was treated last night. I was prejudged and dismissed as soon as I arrived, I came in by ambulance because I couldn t sit up but was sent to the waiting room to sit for 4 hours. On top of that, they tried to discharge me before I even saw a doctor. The doctor, Dr. Waite, said he knew me and had seen me multiple times (which is false, I ve seen him twice and each time was for a different reason). I believe he and the staff were trying to insinuate I was drug seeking without even asking me what was going on. I do deal with chronic pain but have been told by my actual doctors and that very ER to come back if the pain was worse or changed, which it had. In addition to pain, I also had had a fever for several days, was extremely nauseous for at least 10 days prior and was unable to keep any food down that day. It wasn t until Dr. Waite pressed on my stomach and I cried out in pain that he considered doing anything to help me. I was finally put into a bed after my friend asked them several times if I could have a room to lay down in while they ran blood and ordered a CT. Dr. Waite never even examined my back. Once in the room, two nurses (unfortunately I do not remember their names, possibly Dawn was one of them) aggressively fired questions at me about why I hadn t seen this doctor or that doctor and when my insurance changed etc. Again questioning my intent on why I was visiting the ER but then barely letting me answer the question to rattle off another, basically not listening to anything I said. I thought nurses were supposed to be caretakers and empathetic to those suffering however, they were rude, dismissive, and cold to me (something I have never experienced from a nurse before). Additionally, I was told by another one of the nurses (Mollie) I did have a certain medical issue going on and that they would prescribe me antibiotics, only to be told by Dr. Waite later in the night that I really didn t have that medical issue and that the people in the lab didn t know what they were talking about. The only person I was treated with any kindness from the entire 6 hours I was there was Sergio, another nurse on staff. He was the only one that didn t make me feel any worse than I already did and apologized for the other s actions. Clearly he shouldn t be working with such a judgmental group of B Team staff. So five stars to Sergio. I hope the rest can learn how to treat people if they want to continue working with people during some of the worst times of their lives. Additionally, I just read over the notes from my visit and there were several discrepancies- 1. Notes stated no abdominal tenderness , however when the doctor pressed on my stomach I nearly jumped out of my chair hence the CT scan. 2. Notes stated normal heart sounds, no murmur , my heart was never listened to. 3. Notes stated normal breath sounds , my lungs were never listened to. 4. Notes stated normal range of motion in cervical back, my neck was never looked at and I do not have normal range of motion due to a previous neck surgery (C6-C7 are fused). 5. Notes stated patient received IV fluids , I did not receive IV fluids even after I asked for them, I was told I wasn t dehydrated even though I had been throwing up and could not hold food down that day and that I didn t need them because I was drinking water. Lastly, the nurse who wrote up the notes stated I came to the ER when it was busy and there were more critical patients, I m not sure where her opinion about the criticalness of my issue or the busyness of the ED had anything to do with the history of my present illness . Pretty sure you re supposed to just stick to the facts on those notes.
