NEW ORIGINS

PHP, OP & IOP Program Experts

New Origins was founded in 2015 in Redlands, California, by a team of mental health and addiction specialists committed to improving the quality of life and long-term recovery outcomes for men with single and dual diagnosis substance abuse disorders. We serve men in recovery across Southern California and beyond.

Person-Centered Care

We believe that working through trauma, understanding triggers, and building healthy responses to micro-and macro-stressors is critical to long-term success. That’s why life skills development is combined with group and individualized therapy in customized treatment plans that are designed to address our clients’ specific needs.

Recognizing the need for a program that picked up where in-patient rehab left off, the New Origins team provides person-centered PHP, IOP and OP services that help people in recovery.

Custom Outpatient Programs for Single and Dual Diagnosis

Very often, substance abuse occurs concurrently with mental health issues including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, personality disorders, and ADD/ADHD. According to the National Library of Medicine, “About half of people who have a mental disorder will also have a substance use disorder at some point in their lives and vice versa. The interactions of the two conditions can worsen both.”

 

For people in addiction recovery, understanding the role mental health plays in their substance abuse is critical. To that end, the New Origins team includes a number of counselors and therapists who specialize in co-occurring disorders. We combine customized treatment plans with the compassionate support and attention necessary for successful outcomes.
