ABOUT SOBERTEC LLC
Sobertec LLC , in Aliso Viejo, Calif., offers treatment for adult women and men dealing with alcohol and drug addiction. Dual diagnosis treatment is offered, as is residential, outpatient, and medical detoxification.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Treatment begins with an evaluation and is rooted in the 12-Steps, family support, and relapse prevention. Treatment is individualized and blends group and individual therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. Clients dealing with dual diagnosis or co-occurring conditions like anxiety and depression can receive assistance as well.
Clients are randomly drug tested. Those going through detoxification can have access to medication-management in the form of Vivitrol.
Sobertec also has a working relationship with faith-based recovery program Celebrate Recovery where clients can have access to programs they may be interested in.
Mentoring is available for those in outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment. One-on-one counseling will help clients obtain transportation, academic counseling, college applications, and job mentoring.
Families are welcome to participate in programming and will receive weekly updates from case managers.
