Addiction can impact physical health, relationships, and quality of life. The longer it continues, the harder it can be to reverse its effects. Seeking help now allows for earlier intervention, lowers the risk of complications, and opens the door to recovery and healing. At Hoag, you are not alone—our team will be with you every step of the way.
At Hoag, recovery is measured by results—not amenities. Our program has achieved a 75% reduction in readmissions and supports patients with longer, more effective lengths of stay, giving individuals the time and care needed to focus on lasting recovery. By combining evidence-based therapies with medically integrated treatment, we help patients build a strong foundation for true, sustained healing.



Addiction is a chronic brain disease in which repeated drug use changes how brain circuits work, leading to compulsive use even when harmful. Because brains adapt, tolerance builds and withdrawal can follow, this is why stopping is so hard. Many factors, including genetics, environment, life stage, make some people more vulnerable than others. The good news: addiction is treatable. With properly tailored medical and behavioral therapies, many people recover and return to healthy, productive lives.

See all resourcesAt Hoag, recovery follows a seamless continuum of care designed to meet each patient’s evolving clinical needs. Treatment begins with a hospital-based Detox Program, where patients undergo safe, medically managed detoxification with 24-hour access to hospital medical resources.
Following detox, patients transition into the SolMar Residential Treatment program, receiving intensive medical and therapeutic care in a structured, healing environment. As progress is achieved, individuals move into the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for comprehensive therapy and medical support while beginning to reintegrate into daily life. The final step, the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), offers a flexible yet structured schedule that sustains therapeutic engagement, accountability, and connection as patients return to work, school, and family life.
Medical Detoxification (Detox) Detox is the first step in recovery for patients who need medical support to safely withdraw from alcohol, opioids, or other substances. Patients are monitored around the clock by a team of physicians, nurses, and behavioral health specialists. Because withdrawal can sometimes trigger serious health complications, such as seizures, cardiac issues, or exacerbation of other medical conditions, our hospital-based detox program is equipped to address both the physical and psychiatric needs of patients. Medications may be used to ease withdrawal symptoms, minimize cravings, and ensure safety. Our Medically-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program helps to alleviate the brain's cravings without producing the intense high or deadly respiratory depression that drugs may cause. Emotional support and counseling are also introduced to help patients begin their recovery journey.
Outcomes we’re looking for:
Safe management of withdrawal symptoms
Stabilization of physical health
Preparation for the next stage of treatment
Research shows that people on MAT are more likely to:
Maintain employment
Repair and sustain relationships
Have stable housing
Experience fewer hospitalizations and ER visits
Detox addresses the physical dependence on substances. Once stabilized, patients move into therapies that focus on the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction.
Solmar offers Orange County’s only hospital-based residential program, providing 30 to 45 days of structured, medically supervised care within a world-class hospital setting. Under the leadership of a four-time Board-Certified Medical Director, Matthew Reed, MD, MSPH, our program integrates expert medical oversight with compassionate, patient-centered treatment. Collaboration between physicians, licensed therapists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and certified counselors ensures each patient receives comprehensive, coordinated care that addresses both medical and psychological needs.
Our hospital-based model allows immediate access to hospital-grade medical resources for co-occurring conditions and emergencies, creating the safest environment for patients with complex medical histories, ongoing health concerns, or elevated clinical needs. Each treatment plan is customized to address substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and comorbid medical concerns, guided by evidence-based practices and ongoing clinical assessment.
Therapeutic interventions include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), complemented by experiential modalities such as equine-assisted therapy, art therapy, and music therapy. This integrated approach supports emotional regulation, insight, and self-efficacy while incorporating the foundational structure of the 12-Step recovery philosophy to promote lasting change.
Specialized programming is available for older adults, addressing age-related health challenges and fostering recovery through tailored interventions that support physical and cognitive wellness. As patients progress, they transition seamlessly into outpatient and step-down levels of care, ensuring continuity, stability, and sustained recovery beyond the residential setting.
At SolMar, medical excellence defines our standard of care. The SolMar Nursing Team ensures every patient receives coordinated, comprehensive treatment by facilitating specialty referrals and scheduling outside medical appointments for clients with coexisting health conditions. This proactive collaboration promotes seamless continuity of care throughout the recovery process.
Clients are directly connected with leading specialists across multiple disciplines, including Primary Care, Cardiology, Hematology, Oncology, Vascular Surgery, Imaging, Dentistry, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Psychiatry, Pain, Neurosurgery, Endocrinology, and Nephrology.
By integrating medical expertise with behavioral health treatment, SolMar delivers a truly comprehensive, patient-centered model of care. We combine advanced clinical oversight with a commitment to exceptional outcomes and lasting wellness.
At Solmar, families are recognized as vital partners in the recovery process. Their involvement begins on the very first day of treatment, ensuring that support and connection are established from the start. Upon admission, therapists collaborate with clients to include family members, facilitate an introductory call and schedule weekly family therapy sessions to foster open communication and healing.
SolMar Retreat is licensed and certified by the State Department of Health Services – License No. 300329AP, exp. 07/31/2027

Our Outpatient Programs were named a 2025 Program of the Year Finalist by the Association for Ambulatory Behavioral Healthcare (AABH), a national recognition that highlights excellence in Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs nationwide. Presented at AABH’s 56th Annual Training Conference in April, this prestigious honor reflects our commitment to innovation, clinical integrity, and exceptional patient outcomes.
The programs were recognized for their individualized phased-treatment model, seamless continuity across all levels of care, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches that promote lasting recovery.
Together, the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provide structured, medically integrated treatment designed to support patients as they transition through recovery, offering the consistency, accountability, and compassionate care necessary for long-term wellness.
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) represents the next step in the continuum of care following residential treatment. It provides a structured, supportive environment where patients continue intensive therapy while beginning to practice greater independence. PHP bridges the gap between 24-hour residential treatment and fully outpatient care, offering both clinical consistency and opportunities for real-world reintegration.
Our PHP meets five days per week for six hours each day, providing a comprehensive schedule that includes group therapy, individual sessions, family involvement, and continuous medical and psychiatric oversight. Patients maintain direct access to their physician, psychiatrist, and nursing team for medication management and ongoing assessment, ensuring continuity of treatment and safety throughout the recovery process.
The program follows a phased model of care tailored to each patient’s needs. Rather than adhering to fixed timelines, each phase is defined by measurable goals that reflect clinical progress, skill mastery, and readiness for sustained recovery. This individualized approach allows patients to advance at a pace that builds confidence, accountability, and lasting wellness.
The Intensive Outpatient Program offers structured therapy and clinical support while allowing patients to maintain work, school, and family responsibilities. Participants attend therapy sessions three days a week for 3 hours each day, receiving individualized care through a combination of group therapy, one-on-one therapy, and education focused on relapse prevention and practical life skills.
As the final phase in treatment, IOP provides patients the opportunity to solidify what they have learned, strengthen coping strategies, and plan for the future. This level of care promotes accountability, consistency, and community connection—helping individuals maintain sobriety, reinforce healthy routines, rebuild balance in their daily lives, and continue progressing with confidence and support.

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are medical conditions that affect a person’s brain and behavior, leading to an inability to control the use of substances such as alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs.

Our team also specializes in managing co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, ensuring that care addresses the whole person, not just the addiction.
