The Forge Recovery Center

Set in Orange County, California, The Forge Recovery Center treats substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions in an outpatient setting. Their trauma-informed staff see treatment through a holistic lens and provide a range of evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Clients can participate in their partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), or telehealth program. The Forge provides a special LGBTQ+ process group for individuals to share their stories and connect with one another.
The Forge Recovery Center believes in the power of experiences to help individuals develop positive coping skills, healthy relationships, and experience joy. Based on this belief, The Forge includes experiential activities into the weekly schedule. They organize activities like hiking, kayaking, trips to theme parks, yoga, and team sports with the help of their experienced personnel. These opportunities will allow clients to practice the skills they are gaining in therapy.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like The Forge Recovery Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

The Forge Recovery Center offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 6 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Group Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. The Forge Recovery Center works with 24 insurance providers.
