Clementine Orange County Yorba Linda

Clementine Orange County is a residential rehab in Yorba Linda, California, built around adolescents between 11 and 17 years old. The program opened in 2014 and holds Joint Commission accreditation, and it treats eating disorders as its central specialization while also addressing mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction and substance use. Care is delivered in a home-like setting rather than a hospital-style unit, which shapes the daily rhythm of groups, meals and schoolwork.

Clinicians here work with one client at a time rather than a single fixed track. Someone arriving with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID or related diagnoses gets an individual plan that includes therapy, family work and academic support. Depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma are handled alongside the eating disorder rather than deferred.

Because the house is small, families tend to know the staff by name within the first week. The program is non-12-step in orientation and draws on evidence-based practice. Adolescent treatment and eating disorder care are the two areas the center names as its specializations, and both show up in how the schedule is built.

Care levels and therapies in Yorba Linda

The center offers one level of care: residential rehab. That means a young person lives on site for the length of the stay rather than commuting to sessions. If a family is looking for outpatient or detox services in Orange County, this program is not set up as either, and a different setting would need to be found.

Therapy here covers a lot of ground. One-on-one counseling and group therapy are offered together with family therapy cognitive behavioral therapy dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and dance therapy. Life skills sessions along with meditation and mindfulness fill out the schedule. The program describes itself as evidence-based, leans heavily on family participation, and builds an individual treatment plan for each teen; it is not a 12-step model. For a teen who responds better to routine and creative outlets than to sitting through lectures, this combination often works well.

Typical stays run about 30 days, and the house holds 6-15 beds in shared rooms with air conditioning and desks. Only English is spoken, so a family needing another language should ask before touring. Amenities include chef-prepared meals, outdoor lounge space, access to nature and a business center with computers. Teens take part in cooking classes, dance classes and yoga, and the center arranges off-site outings to restaurants, grocery stores, museums and bowling alleys. Academic support is built in, with tutoring available so schoolwork does not stall during treatment.

Paying for residential treatment here

Self-pay rates are the payment method named in the center's listing, and no insurance networks or Medicaid participation show up there. That does not prove a health plan will not help, but it does mean a family needs to ask. When you call the helpline an advisor is able to go through what your policy covers for residential eating disorder care and check present costs with the center itself. Until the center confirms benefits in writing, nothing is settled, so regard any spoken figure as an estimate to start from.
