South Coast Behavioral Health - Gemini House

Addressing Underlying Mental Health with Substance Use

Clinical teams address both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Clients receive support through individualized therapy designed to help manage emotional stressors that may have contributed to substance use. The facility’s trauma-informed approach emphasizes safety, emotional regulation, and personal understanding throughout the recovery process.

Blending Clinical and Holistic Approaches for Well-Rounded Healing

Core therapeutic methods are evidence-based and include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and psychoeducation. More holistic approaches complement clinical care with expressive and experiential therapy groups, mindfulness and breathwork, yoga and meditation, and sound healing.

Comfort and Privacy for Focused Recovery

Treatment takes place in an Orange County home with an open kitchen, bright common areas, and outdoor patio space for fresh air and reflection. This setting offers a comfortable feel, rather than a clinical setting. Clients share meals prepared by an on-site chef and can use indoor and outdoor seating areas to relax between sessions.
