How we help
One residential campus for California
Residential beds are only at 9842 13th St. State-level visitors should plan travel to Orange County for 24/7 care.
Residential addiction treatment provides round-the-clock structure, therapy, and medical support when outpatient care is not enough — or when home environments are not safe for early recovery. Northbound's only residential campus is 9842 13th St, Garden Grove, CA 92844 — known as The Grove.
Clients in California who need this level of care travel to Garden Grove with support from admissions: benefits verification, flight planning, and family communication. More than half of Northbound clients historically come from outside Orange County — you will not be the only family making this trip.
Residential programming includes individual and group therapy, family services, InVivo® real-world skills, experiential therapies, and dual-diagnosis treatment. After residential, many California clients step down to PHP in Newport Beach or return home with HomeBound virtual IOP.
Northbound does not operate residential beds in California. If a program claims to offer Northbound residential locally, verify the address — all on-site beds are at 9842 13th St.
We are DHCS licensed #300661CP, Joint Commission accredited, and in-network with 15+ major insurance plans. Call (866) 311-0003 — admissions is available 24/7 for California families.

Local context
Why California chooses a single residential hub
Concentrating residential expertise at The Grove preserves staffing ratios, medical coverage, and specialty tracks that would be diluted across multiple small sites.
Sacramento, San Francisco, and San Diego families often prefer one proven campus with clear step-down to Newport PHP or HomeBound at home.
We do not operate sober living statewide — aftercare and alumni bridge community living after residential.
California families often ask how Northbound differs from other providers — we concentrate on-site detox and residential at one Garden Grove campus, PHP at Newport Beach, and virtual IOP statewide rather than spreading thin across many small sites.
Areas we serve
Northbound’s clinical campuses are in Orange County and San Diego, but we admit clients from every region of California — Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Sacramento, the Central Valley, and the Inland Empire. Virtual IOP (HomeBound) extends structured care into your home county after higher levels of care.
