More about this program
Mental health is all about how we think, feel, and act. Just like our bodies can get a cold, our minds can sometimes feel sick too. This is often called a mental illness or a disorder. It is important to remember that having a hard time with your feelings does not mean you are weak.
In orange county, many families are working together to end the stigma around asking for help. Seeking assistance is a very brave choice. When we talk about our feelings, we start making progress. This is the first step toward a healthier life for individual members of our community.
Path to care
How Treatment Starts Here
Schedules depend on your level of care, but the steps are the same for everyone: an assessment, a recommendation, treatment, and a change in hours as you progress.
- Assess
Clinical Intake
Admissions talks with you confidentially about what's going on, any other conditions, your safety, and your schedule.
- Match
Level Of Care
Based on what you need, admissions recommends PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, OP, or Virtual IOP instead of putting everyone in one program.
- Treat
Treatment
Therapy and skills work happen in group and one-on-one sessions, and if you're dealing with substance use and mental health, both are part of the plan.
- Step
Changing Levels
As your needs change, you can move to more or fewer hours and keep working with the same team.
Schedules depend on your level of care, and admissions can walk you through a sample week before you start.

- 02
More Than One Thing Is Going On
Substance use and mental health conditions often happen together, and we treat both when you need it.
- 03
Outpatient Care Is Safe For You
You don't need emergency or inpatient care right now, so a PHP, IOP, OP, or Virtual IOP schedule is a safe place to start.
When We'll Point You Elsewhere
A Crisis Or Medical Emergency
Call 911 or go to the nearest ER, and if you're having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988. Once you're stable, we can help plan outpatient treatment.
A Different Level Of Care Is Safer
If you need more or less structure than we'd recommend here, admissions will tell you honestly instead of pushing you into a program.
You Need Another Specialist First
Some medical or psychiatric needs call for another specialist at the same time, and admissions will tell you plainly and help coordinate.
Therapies
What Happens In Your Sessions
Therapists build these into group and one-on-one sessions, so you can practice the skills in session and use them at home.
- 01
DBT And CBT
These therapies teach you to manage strong emotions, get through distress, and change unhelpful thinking, and you can use the skills the same day.
- Identify triggers and unhelpful thought patterns
- Build ways to get through cravings and conflict
- Practice skills in group and individual settings
- 02
Art And Music Therapy
Art and music give you another way to work through things when talking isn't enough on its own, and creative work can help lower anxiety.
- A way to express feelings that are hard to name
- Structured creative work that can ease anxiety
- Tied to your treatment goals, not just free time
- 03
Yoga And Meditation
Breathing, grounding, and gentle movement help you stay steady when stress spikes, including after your sessions end for the day.
- Breathwork and grounding for moments of high stress
- Gentle movement to ease tension
- Skills you can keep using at home
- 04
Group And Peer Support
In process groups, you practice recovery with people who understand what you're going through. Isolation can make substance use worse, and a group gives you accountability and support.
- Process groups led by licensed staff
- Connection with peers who won't judge you
- A safe place to practice social skills
- 05

In one-on-one sessions, your clinician tracks your mood, substance use, and behavior against a treatment plan written for you.

Life Skills And Relapse Prevention
You'll work on time management, communication, stress, and relapse prevention, so the hours outside treatment support your recovery too.

- A schedule that fits work, school, and family
- Skills for relationships and daily life

What is Mental Health?
Mental health is all about how we think, feel, and act. Just like our bodies can get a cold, our minds can sometimes feel sick too. This is often called a mental illness or a disorder. It is important to remember that having a hard time with your feelings does not mean you are weak.
In orange county, many families are working together to end the stigma around asking for help. Seeking assistance is a very brave choice. When we talk about our feelings, we start making progress. This is the first step toward a healthier life for individual members of our community.
Understanding ADHD and Other Challenges
One common reason people look for orange county mental health services is ADHD. ADHD stands for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. It makes it hard to sit still, pay attention, or finish tasks. It is a real disorder, but with the right treatment, you can maintain a happy and successful life.
At OC Revive, we see many kids and adults who struggle with focus. We use community based services to help them find tools that work. ADHD is not about being "bad" or "lazy." It is about how the brain works. We provide education so that everyone—including teachers and families—knows how to support the person.
The Link Between Mental Health and Substance Use
Other people might struggle with a substance use disorder or substance abuse. This is when someone uses drugs or alcohol in a way that hurts their health. At OC Revive, we provide support for both mental health and substance issues because they often happen at the same time. This is sometimes called "dual diagnosis."
When someone feels a lot of pain inside, they might try to use a substance to feel better. This can lead to a cycle that is hard to break. Our programs are dedicated to breaking that cycle. We offer a safe place where you can heal without judgment.
How Many People Need Help?
You might wonder, how many people in our community deal with these issues? The truth is, millions of people across the country face mental health struggles every year. In orange county, thousands of people reach out for access to services to help them move forward.
Whether it is homelessness, developmental disabilities, or recovery from sexual assault, there are programs and resources available to meet your individual needs. You are part of a large community, and there are many people working to ensure everyone gets the care they need.
