About A Better Life Recovery
Better Life Recovery in Orange County, California is a rehabilitation center for adult men facing addiction. The program is built on a 12-Step approach, guiding clients toward a more stable and healthy future. Many residents remain in treatment for about 1 to 12 months, and the center also provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT), including Vivitrol, when appropriate. Services include residential inpatient care, outpatient care, and support for reintegration after treatment.
Their recovery pathway is divided into three stages. Phase I provides early recovery through inpatient treatment for roughly 15 to 30 days. Phase II continues the process with partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient (IOP) for about 45 to 60 days. Phase III transitions clients into continuing outpatient care, while also starting reintegration steps for as long as one year. The reintegration support emphasizes helping clients rebuild independence through help with legal matters and employment, along with practical life-skills training.
Better Life Recovery also aims to create a calm atmosphere throughout the facility. Located along the SoCal coast in an area known as a “national recovery destination,” the center offers comfortable, spacious rooms and an outdoor pool surrounded by palm trees. Wellness options may include yoga, outings to a nearby gym, and swimming. The program is accredited by The Joint Commission and works with many types of private insurance.
