About

About Opus Health LLC

Opus Health is a residential drug and alcohol treatment center serving Orange County from its facility on Irvine Avenue between Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. The program is built around a small-census, high-touch residential model with 24/7 medical assistance, separate men’s and women’s residential tracks, and an explicit LGBTQ+ safe space program for clients who need affirming care.

The continuum begins with medical detox, which Opus offers for the full range of common substances including alcohol, methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, opiates, prescription drugs, Xanax, benzodiazepines, and cocaine. Detox is staffed and supervised by Medical Director Dr. Alejandro Alva, MD, Director of Healthcare Summer Rodriguez, MA, and LVN Maribel Gomez-Alvarado, with stabilization protocols tailored to each substance. After detox, clients move into residential treatment, where Program Director Cheryl Williams (CADC-I), Clinical Therapist David Oliver (AMFT, CADC I), and Director of Client Services Emmanuel Reyes (CADC-II) anchor a clinical team focused on dual diagnosis, trauma, and developmental trauma work.

Clinically, Opus combines evidence-based modalities like CBT and medication-assisted treatment (including Vivitrol and Sublocade) with experiential offerings such as adventure therapy and art therapy. Family therapy and a dedicated family program bring loved ones into the process, and a 12-step framework is integrated for clients who benefit from AA, NA, or Al-Anon engagement. The executive chef program is treated as part of recovery, recognizing that nutrition is a core stabilization tool during early sobriety.

Opus is accredited by both The Joint Commission and CARF, and the admissions team handles insurance verification across both public and private coverage options. The program accepts private insurance and self-pay, with admissions counselors available 24/7 to walk prospective clients through what’s covered, how the admission process works, and what to bring.

Medical Detox Programs at Opus Health

Opus Health LLC provides medically supervised detox for alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants at their Costa Mesa facility. Under Medical Director Dr. Alejandro Alva's oversight, patients receive 24/7 medical assistance during withdrawal management from substances including fentanyl, heroin, Xanax, cocaine, and methamphetamine. The facility's licensed nursing staff monitors vital signs and administers withdrawal protocols to ensure patient safety during detox.

Following medical stabilization, patients can transition directly to residential treatment within the same facility, eliminating gaps in care during the vulnerable early recovery period. This continuity allows for comprehensive assessment of underlying addiction patterns while patients remain in a medically supervised environment.

24/7 Medical Supervision and Withdrawal Management

Director of Healthcare Summer Rodriguez, MA, oversees medical protocols alongside licensed nursing staff including LVN Maribel Gomez-Alvarado. The facility operates around the clock to provide immediate medical intervention during acute withdrawal phases. Medication-assisted treatment options support patients experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms from opioid and alcohol dependencies.

Joint Commission accreditation ensures adherence to medical safety standards during detox procedures. The Costa Mesa location serves Orange County residents requiring inpatient detox with medical complications or previous unsuccessful outpatient withdrawal attempts.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-occurring Disorders Treatment

Clinical staff address co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance dependencies during the detox process. Clinical Therapist David Oliver, AMFT, CADC I, provides specialized care for patients with trauma, PTSD, and dual diagnosis presentations. The facility treats individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs and developmental trauma histories requiring modified withdrawal approaches.

Cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma therapy begin during medical stabilization to address underlying psychological factors contributing to substance dependence. This integrated approach prevents the common cycle of detox-relapse by addressing mental health symptoms that often trigger substance use.

Insurance Coverage and Admission Process

Opus Health accepts private insurance plans and offers self-pay options for medical detox and residential treatment services. The facility serves court-ordered clients, veterans, and individuals from diverse populations including LGBTQ+ community members. Director of Client Services Emmanuel Reyes, CADC-II, coordinates admissions and insurance verification for urgent detox placements.

Program Director Cheryl Williams, CADC-I, oversees treatment planning from initial medical assessment through residential programming. The Costa Mesa facility maintains bed availability for emergency detox admissions, recognizing that withdrawal management often requires immediate medical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications.
