Mental Health Conditions We Treat in Orange County

Asana Recovery treats a comprehensive range of mental health conditions through outpatient programs designed to fit your life. Whether you’re seeking treatment for a primary mental health condition or addressing mental health alongside substance use recovery, our licensed clinicians deliver evidence-based therapies through individual counseling, group therapy, and structured programs.

  • Anxiety Disorders: Outpatient treatment for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety, and specific phobias. Evidence-based therapies including CBT, comprehensive DBT, and exposure therapy techniques.
  • Depression and Mood Disorders: Treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), persistent depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and mood disorders. Integrated approach combining therapy, medication management when clinically appropriate, and lifestyle interventions.
  • PTSD and Trauma: Specialized outpatient PTSD treatment using EMDR (endorsed by the American Psychological Association, World Health Organization, and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs), trauma-informed care, and CBT for trauma processing.
  • Bipolar Disorder: Outpatient bipolar disorder treatment including mood stabilization through medication management, psychoeducation, and skills-based therapies for managing bipolar symptoms and preventing relapse.
  • ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): Adult ADHD assessment and treatment including non-stimulant approaches and behavioral interventions for executive function challenges.
  • OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder): Outpatient OCD treatment using exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the gold-standard evidence-based intervention for OCD.
  • Personality Disorders: Outpatient treatment using comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) delivered through all four core skill modules — especially effective for borderline personality disorder and emotion dysregulation.
  • Dual Diagnosis (Co-occurring Disorders): Integrated treatment for clients experiencing both substance use disorder and mental health conditions simultaneously, delivered by the same clinical team through a unified treatment plan.

Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Orange County

When substance use and mental health conditions co-occur — which research from SAMHSA shows happens in roughly half of all cases — treating them separately rarely produces lasting recovery. Asana Recovery’s integrated dual diagnosis approach addresses both conditions simultaneously by the same clinical team, in the same treatment plan, through the same outpatient programs.

Our integrated dual diagnosis treatment includes:

  • Comprehensive psychiatric assessment and medical evaluation at intake
  • Medication management overseen by Medical Director Dr. Joseph DeSanto, M.D., Board Certified in Internal Medicine with specialty focus in Addiction Medicine
  • Evidence-based therapy: CBT, comprehensive DBT delivered through all four core skill modules, EMDR for trauma processing, motivational interviewing
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) options including Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) and Vivitrol (naltrexone) for opioid and alcohol use disorders, when clinically appropriate
  • Group therapy with peers managing similar dual conditions
  • Individual counseling for personalized treatment
  • Family therapy to repair relationships impacted by addiction and mental health challenges
  • Continued care planning with strong alumni community support

This unified approach is delivered through our primary outpatient center in Fountain Valley, with sober living and outpatient services available across Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach. Coverage for outpatient mental health and substance use treatment is a federal requirement under the Mental Health Parity Act and the Affordable Care Act.

Frequently Asked Questions About Addiction and Mental Health Treatment in Orange County

1. Does Asana Recovery treat mental health conditions, or only addiction?

Asana Recovery treats both. We are an outpatient addiction AND mental health treatment provider — not addiction-only. Whether you’re seeking treatment for a primary mental health condition (anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, ADHD, OCD), substance use disorder, or both simultaneously (dual diagnosis), our integrated approach addresses both verticals through the same evidence-based programs and the same clinical team.

2. What is dual diagnosis treatment, and why does it matter for Orange County clients?

Dual diagnosis treatment addresses substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously, by the same clinical team, in the same treatment plan. According to SAMHSA, approximately 50% of people with severe mental health conditions also experience substance use disorders. Research consistently shows that integrated dual diagnosis treatment produces significantly better outcomes than treating these conditions separately.

3. Where are Asana Recovery’s Orange County locations?

Asana Recovery operates a multi-location Orange County network: our primary outpatient treatment center is in Fountain Valley (18101 Magnolia St), with sober living and outpatient services in Costa Mesa (Madison, Johnson, and Center Avenues) and Huntington Beach (Indian Wells Circle). Virtual IOP is available for California residents anywhere in the state.

4. What Orange County cities does Asana Recovery serve?

Asana Recovery serves clients across all of Orange County, including Anaheim, Irvine, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, San Clemente, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Tustin, Lake Forest, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and surrounding communities. Our central Fountain Valley location and multi-city network make access convenient from anywhere in Southern California.

5. How does outpatient mental health treatment in Orange County work?

Outpatient mental health treatment at Asana Recovery offers structured, evidence-based therapy while you continue living in Orange County and maintaining work, school, and family responsibilities. Programs range from Standard Outpatient (OP, 1-3 hours weekly) through Intensive Outpatient (IOP, 3 hours per session, 3 days weekly) up to Partial Hospitalization (PHP, 5-6 hours daily, 5 days weekly). Your treatment plan is determined through clinical assessment based on your specific needs.

6. Does insurance cover mental health treatment in Orange County?

Yes. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the Affordable Care Act require insurance to cover mental health and substance use treatment at parity with medical/surgical benefits. Asana Recovery is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, ComPsych, TriCare, and Tri-West. Most other PPO plans are accepted on an out-of-network basis. Free, confidential insurance verification is typically completed within the hour at (949) 763-3440.

7. Can I receive treatment for both addiction and mental health at the same time?

Yes — and this is actually the recommended approach when both conditions are present. Treating substance use and mental health conditions separately often produces incomplete recovery, because the conditions often reinforce each other. Asana Recovery’s integrated dual diagnosis programs address both conditions simultaneously through the same clinical team, the same treatment plan, and the same outpatient programs.

8. How is Asana Recovery’s Orange County addiction and mental health treatment different from its broader OC drug rehab content?

Both serve Orange County clients through our multi-location network, but with different focus areas. Asana Recovery’s broader OC addiction treatment pillar specializes in substance use disorders with deep content on specific addiction recovery pathways. This page focuses on the integrated addiction AND mental health treatment approach — addressing both verticals together, including primary mental health treatment for clients without substance use issues. Both pathways share the same clinical excellence, same locations, and same evidence-based approach.
