“I would recommend Wavecrest to anybody trying to change their life for the better. The staff is so responsive and encouraging. I feel like they meet clients where they are at and are willing to personalize their treatment plan to the best benefits of the individual client. It’s not a one size fits all approach. They have amazing clinicians that help with medication management and the groups themselves are engaging. The facilitators make sure to connect with the group as a whole. They make clients feel safe and heard and affirmed.”

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Every individual who comes to Wavecrest has unique needs, challenges, and goals — so we offer a comprehensive continuum of care, ensuring each client receives the right level of support at the right time.
Detox is often the first step in recovery. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous without medical supervision, so our 24/7 medically monitored detox provides comfort and safety while preparing you emotionally for the next stage of treatment.
Our residential program provides a structured, immersive environment where patients can focus entirely on recovery — with daily therapy, medical oversight, peer support, and holistic healing activities.
For clients who have completed inpatient care or need flexibility, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provide continued therapy while you live at home.
Many people who struggle with alcohol addiction also experience co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Our dual diagnosis program treats both simultaneously, promoting lasting recovery and emotional balance.
Recovery doesn't end when treatment does. Our aftercare planning keeps you connected through alumni programs, relapse-prevention groups, and ongoing therapy within the Irvine community.
