Alter Behavioral Health - Orange County

This coastal center in Dana Point provides residential mental health treatment for women facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other co-occurring conditions. With sandy beaches nearby, a peaceful backyard, and in walking distance to Dana Point Harbor trails, Alter offers a serene backdrop for transformative healing.

Build Resilience Using Tailored Treatment Plans

Treatment is personalized and blends proven therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with holistic methods such as yoga, personal fitness training, and sound baths. Women receive weekly case management and medication management as appropriate and attend daily group therapy, 1-on-1 sessions, and skill-building activities. This whole-person approach helps women grow emotionally, mentally, and socially while learning tools for lasting wellness beyond treatment.

Recharge in Comfort with Thoughtful Amenities

Women live in a calm coastal home with shared or private rooms, modern bathrooms, and cozy common areas. The facility provides chef-prepared meals, a spacious backyard, and access to walking trails and beach days. Women can participate in outings to the Lantern District and have weekly visits with loved ones while staying at Alter. On-site medical staff, a personal trainer, and 24/7 supervision ensure comfort and safety throughout treatment.
