South Coast Behavioral Health - Bridge House

Residential Treatment for Men in Costa Mesa

South Coast Behavioral Health – Bridge House provides a men-only residential program in Costa Mesa, California, designed for those seeking recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. The home-like setting offers structure and support within the quiet coastal community of Orange County. Residents receive 24-hour medical and clinical care, creating a safe space to rebuild health and confidence while preparing for the next phase of treatment. Bridge House connects directly to South Coast’s continuum of care, including detox in Irvine and outpatient services in Newport Beach.

Trauma-Informed and Evidence-Based Care

The Bridge House team integrates trauma-informed therapy with evidence-based models such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Each client’s plan is personalized, combining individual and group counseling with holistic options like yoga, meditation, and expressive art. This balance of structure and flexibility helps men address the underlying causes of substance use and develop sustainable coping strategies.

Dual Diagnosis Support and Clinical Oversight

Because addiction often intersects with mental health, Bridge House provides comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment. Clinicians and medical professionals help manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Medication management, ongoing assessment, and coordination with therapists ensure that both mental and physical health needs are addressed together, an essential foundation for long-term recovery.

Building Skills and Community for Life After Treatment

Bridge House emphasizes the importance of peer connection, routine, and practical life-building during treatment. Clients live among peers working toward shared goals, fostering accountability and mutual respect. Programs include nutrition counseling, life skills education, and mindfulness practices that prepare residents for daily life beyond treatment. Through this connected model of care, the program equips men with the tools, insight, and confidence needed for long-term recovery.
