About Akua Behavioral Health
Akua Behavioral Health is a Joint Commission-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 326 and 328 University Drive in Costa Mesa, California. Operating around the clock every day of the week, the center provides structured, medically supervised care for adults who need detox and ongoing treatment within Orange County. The facility’s dual-address campus in Costa Mesa positions it as a dedicated resource for those seeking inpatient-level detox services in Southern California.
The center’s continuum of care begins with medical detox — the clinical first step for individuals in active withdrawal who require 24/7 monitoring and intervention. From there, clients can step into residential treatment, which places them in a community-based living environment where treatment continues around the clock. For those who have completed a higher level of care or whose needs can be addressed on a less intensive basis, an outpatient program is also available. This full spectrum — from medical detox through residential to outpatient — allows clients to move through levels of care within the same organization.
Akua Behavioral Health integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into its clinical programming and specifically addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use. Trauma and PTSD are recognized conditions treated at the facility, which is clinically significant for populations where these issues frequently overlap with addiction. The Joint Commission accreditation signals that the facility meets nationally recognized standards for healthcare quality and patient safety.
The facility is equipped to serve a notably broad range of adult populations, including veterans — with TRICARE accepted as a payment option — as well as young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, men, women, individuals needing HIV/AIDS support, and court-ordered clients. Payment is accepted through private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay. For anyone searching for a medically supervised detox program in Costa Mesa or the greater Orange County area, Akua Behavioral Health provides an accredited, full-continuum option available every day of the year.
