Drug and Behavioral Addictions

Drug and Behavioral Addictions2025-03-31T05:27:16-07:00

Addiction isn’t just about substances—it’s about pain, patterns, and disconnection. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol, drugs, or compulsive behaviors like gambling or shopping, true healing starts with treating the whole person—not just the symptoms.

At Earth’s Edge Wellness in Laguna Beach, we provide a holistic recovery program that blends clinical expertise with mind-body practices to help you break free from addiction and reclaim your life. Through in-person and virtual addiction therapy, we serve clients across Orange County, the greater Los Angeles area, and beyond.

What We Treat: A Spectrum of Addictions

We understand that addiction takes many forms. Our individualized care plans address both substance abuse and behavioral addictions, using a compassionate, integrative approach.

Substance Abuse Recovery

Alcohol, prescription drugs, opioids, stimulants, and more—our hybrid program supports detox aftercare and long-term behavioral change without judgment.

Behavioral Addictions

Including compulsive gambling, internet use, shopping, and pornography, which can impact relationships, finances, and mental health. We help uncover the emotional roots and build lasting coping strategies.

Holistic Addiction Therapy

A personalized blend of Western psychotherapy and Eastern healing techniques, including somatic therapy, mindfulness, and energy work, to treat addiction from the inside out.

What Makes Our Addiction Treatment Different?

Most traditional rehab models treat the behavior—often overlooking the emotional, energetic, and spiritual wounds driving addiction. At Earth’s Edge Wellness, we believe in comprehensive healing.

Why Clients Choose Our Laguna Beach Addiction Program:

  • Whole-Person Recovery: We address the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of addiction

  • Flexible Treatment Options: Choose from in-person sessions in Laguna Beach or virtual therapy across Orange County and beyond

  • Team-Based Support: Your recovery team may include therapists, nutritionists, trauma specialists, and holistic practitioners

  • Empowerment-Focused: We help you build internal tools for long-term success, not reliance on external support forever

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), over 20 million Americanslive with a substance use disorder, but fewer than 10% receive treatment. Our goal is to break that cycle with care that’s accessible, flexible, and truly transformative.

Healing the Root, Not Just the Habit

At Earth’s Edge Wellness, we see addiction as a symptom—not a personal failing. That’s why our programs target the deeper emotional wounds, trauma histories, and nervous system imbalances that fuel addiction.

Our Laguna Beach addiction therapy services may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address thought patterns and emotional dysregulation

  • Somatic Therapy & Breathwork to reconnect with your body and release stored tension

  • Mindfulness & Meditation for increased clarity and reduced impulsivity

  • Energy Healing & Reiki to rebalance emotional energy and promote inner peace

  • Nutritional Counseling to support physical detoxification and emotional stability

We also help clients identify and shift subconscious patterns, manage triggers, and create healthier routines for sustainable sobriety.
