Silver Lining Recovery treats mental health conditions, substance use, and the place where the two overlap, all on a flexible outpatient basis in Huntington Beach and across Orange County.
Mental health, substance use, both together

Depression travels with anxiety. Trauma sits underneath a substance use problem. A demanding job makes it hard to step away for care. That is why our programs are built around co-occurring treatment and flexible scheduling, so you can address mental health and addiction together while keeping work, school and family commitments intact.
Our outpatient team treats a broad range of conditions and builds a personalized plan for each person rather than fitting you into a fixed track, drawing on trauma-informed therapy and the rest of our therapeutic modalities. If you do not see your exact situation, it almost certainly still fits. Reach out and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right place for you.
Most people we treat are managing more than one of these at once, which is why they are treated together rather than in sequence.
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue and trouble functioning are treatable with structured outpatient care combining therapy, medication coordination and trauma-aware support.
Chronic worry, panic and avoidance respond well to skills-based outpatient therapy that fits your schedule and addresses any co-occurring depression or substance use.
Unresolved trauma keeps many people stuck and can drive both mood symptoms and substance use. We deliver EMDR and trauma-informed care at a safe, sustainable pace.
Mood instability is manageable with consistent outpatient support that coordinates therapy with medication management, focused on stability and relapse prevention.
Attention, focus and follow-through challenges often complicate other concerns. We treat ADHD as part of an integrated plan rather than in isolation.
We treat alcohol and drug use on an outpatient basis, with structured support that builds recovery while you stay connected to everyday life.
When mental health and substance use happen together, treating only one rarely holds. Integrated dual diagnosis care addresses both at the same time.
What we treat is only half the picture. The other half is how intensively we treat it. After a confidential clinical assessment we recommend the least restrictive level of care that safely meets your needs, and we adjust over time as you progress, so treatment can scale up or step down without you leaving the program.
Veterans and active-duty service members often face elevated rates of PTSD and co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions. Our veterans and active military program provides trauma-aware, dual-diagnosis outpatient care, with staff who understand military culture and help coordinate benefits, including TRICARE, during intake.
Starting care is simpler than it feels from the outside. A short confidential assessment helps us understand what you are facing, verify your insurance, and recommend the right plan. You can begin in three ways: call our admissions team, verify your benefits online with our Verify Your Insurance tool, or send a message and we will reach back out.
Choosing a level of care is easier once you can picture the place and the people you would be working with.
Psychiatric evaluation and medication oversight happen inside the program, not through an outside referral.
Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, TriWest/TRICARE, Aetna, Anthem, Health Net and more. Verification is free and takes about two minutes.
The same clinicians stay with you as your level of care changes. Nobody re-explains their history.
You do not need a diagnosis before you call. A clinician will ask what you are experiencing and recommend a starting point. Checking coverage first costs nothing.
Most people arrive managing more than one thing, so the plan is built around the whole picture rather than a single diagnosis.
Mental health and substance use are treated together by the same team, because treating one at a time rarely holds.
Physicians and nurses are on staff, so psychiatric evaluation and medication management happen here rather than through an outside referral.
After assessment we recommend the least restrictive level of care that safely meets your needs, and adjust as you progress.
Most virtual outpatient programs are therapy only and send anything medical elsewhere. Ours is run by the same physicians, nurses and clinicians as the Huntington Beach program, over a secure HIPAA-compliant platform.
Which level of care your plan covers depends on your specific benefits and medical necessity. Verification is free, takes about two minutes, and carries no obligation to enroll.
Starting care is simpler than it feels from the outside.

We confirm what your plan covers, at no cost to you.
Conditions, level of care and therapy goals, decided with you.

Whatever you are facing, the next step is a short conversation. We will help you understand your options, confirm your coverage, and match you to the right care.

Whichever program you start in, your clinician draws on the same evidence-based approaches, matched to what you are working on.
Conditions rarely arrive one at a time. Where more than one is present they are treated together by the same clinical team rather than in sequence.
| Condition | How it is treated | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| PTSD Therapy | EMDR, trauma-focused therapy | Post-traumatic stress, including service-connected trauma |
| Trauma Treatment | Trauma-informed across the program | Trauma and its effects, with or without substance use alongside |
| Depression | Therapy, medication management, TMS | Low mood, including depression that has not responded before |
| Dual Diagnosis | One team, one treatment plan | A mental health condition and substance use together |
| Mental Health Services | Across every level of care | Anxiety, bipolar disorder and ADHD, with or without substance use |
Depression, PTSD, trauma, anxiety and co-occurring substance use.

Start admissions →"Silver Lining is a great place for mental health and substance use disorder treatment. I’ve been here for both. Every single person from staff to clinicians to ownership all genuinely care and make the time to show they care. Programming is thoughtful, informative, and very engaging. There is much more thought into treating the root cause than the symptom."
"The support and real care they give is unmatched. I can say without any doubt that the people that make up this community have a calling to serve and support those of us trying to heal and find a new way of life. Today I’m over five months clean, I have a career that feeds my energy, and a community of people that help me stay accountable."
"Silver Lining Recovery is a fantastic program for anyone seeking treatment for drug and/or alcohol abuse. Barmak and his staff were a delight to work with. Highly recommended."

We treat depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use and addiction, and co-occurring (dual diagnosis) conditions, all on an outpatient basis in Huntington Beach. Care plans are personalized, and most people we treat are managing more than one concern at once.
Yes. Integrated, co-occurring treatment is core to how we work, because addressing only the mental health side or only the substance use side rarely produces lasting results. Our dual diagnosis approach treats both together.
Yes. Silver Lining Recovery is a fully outpatient provider with PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, standard outpatient, and Virtual IOP options, so you can match the intensity of care to your symptoms while keeping work, school, or family commitments.
Call for a free, confidential assessment. We will talk through what you are experiencing, verify your insurance, and tell you honestly whether our outpatient programs are the right level of care for you.
Yes, and usually that is the point. Where both are present they are treated together by one clinical team rather than one after the other.
No. The first call is a confidential conversation with the admissions team about what you are experiencing, followed by a clinical assessment that sets your starting level of care.
