What to know about rehab in Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa has more state-licensed and certified addiction treatment programs than any other city in Orange County. Many are small residential homes in neighborhoods, alongside outpatient offices near the 405 and 55 freeways.

Because there are so many options so close together, it helps to narrow by level of care first, then call two or three programs and compare answers. The city also has its own permit rules for group homes and sober living, which are separate from the state treatment licenses shown here.

Before you call a program

  • Ask for the DHCS license or certification number and check it.
  • Ask which levels of care they provide on site.
  • Ask what your insurance covers and what you will owe.
  • Ask where you would go next when this level of care ends.
