At Anchored Tides Recovery, we are here to help women who struggle with addiction to alcohol and/or drugs. We have dedicated ourselves to providing outstanding treatment services that provide our clients with the tools to not only get sober but stay sober as well. We have a number of tools at our disposal that can help women do exactly that.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE & WOMEN

Understanding Drug & Alcohol Addiction

Addiction is a disease and it takes many forms. When someone has an addiction, they will do anything in their power to feed that addiction. In essence, their brains view that addictive substance as something that is necessary for life. There are many signs that someone has an addiction to alcohol and drugs. Some of the most common symptoms include:

Dependence: If someone is addicted to alcohol or drugs, they have a dependence on that substance. One of the biggest signs of dependence is the development of withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal occurs when someone goes for an extended period of time without the substance with which they have the addiction. Some of the most common symptoms of withdrawal include shakes, sweats, fevers, and even seizures.

Tolerance:  Another common sign of addiction is the development of a phenomenon called tolerance. Tolerance takes place when the body gets used to having that substance in its system. In essence, someone needs more of the substance to achieve the same physical effects, such as a high. This is what makes addiction so dangerous. The more someone has to take to achieve the intended effects, the greater chance there is of someone overdosing. This can lead to serious medical complications.

Substance abuse is a serious problem for everyone, including women. Fortunately, there are a few key components of addiction treatment that can be helpful.

WHY DO I NEED REHAB?

The Benefits of an Addiction Treatment Facility
for Women

At Anchored Tides Recovery, our goal is to provide every woman with the addiction treatment she requires. There are a number of important components to our addiction treatment program. These include:

Overcoming Withdrawal: The first step is to get someone clean. This means removing any and all traces of alcohol or drugs from the system. We are here to help someone get through the first phase of recovery, which means overcoming withdrawal. After the withdrawal has finished, the true recovery process can begin.

Staying Clean: Once someone has cleared any alcohol and drugs from his or her system, the next step is to stay clean. At Anchored Tides Recovery, we work hard to identify what drove the client to addictive behaviors in the first place. Then, by removing these causes, we can help someone stay clean. 

We marry these two concepts to create a comprehensive and well-rounded treatment program. To that end, we have a variety of programs to help women on the road to recovery from substance abuse.

WOMEN'S ADDICTION TREATMENT PROGRAM

How Our Women's Addiction Treatment Center Can Help

At Anchored Tides Recovery, our addiction treatment programs include: 

Partial Hospitalization Program

Our women’s partial hospitalization program is a major component of what we do. In PHP, clients will spend the vast majority of the day on-site. This is a blend between an inpatient program and an outpatient schedule. Using group therapy, counseling, and other tools, we will help patients take their first steps toward sobriety.

Intensive Outpatient Program

We also offer an intensive outpatient program in Orange County. This program is more involved than typical outpatient treatment, allowing someone to get the required level of attention they need, but still attend to outside commitments. 

Outpatient Program

We provide an Orange County outpatient program that allows our women to tailor their treatment plans to meet their own individual needs. We offer one-on-one counseling, group therapy, and a variety of behavioral programs to help someone remain sober.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are intricate mental health issues that necessitate targeted treatment and ongoing support. Those struggling with conditions like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder have access to various treatment approaches designed to meet their specific requirements.

Katie van Heerden

Clinical Therapist

I am Katie van Heerden, a licensed marriage and family therapist, currently conducting individual and group therapy at ATR using CBT and EMDR modalities. My passion for working with those struggling with addiction and mental health is a personal one. I, myself, grew up in a family system of addiction and mental health issues with little knowledge of what to do or how to recover. This drove me to further my education in mental health disorders, first by obtaining my BA in psychology from Cal State University Fullerton, then my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. While the knowledge I have obtained in school is extensive, my personal journey through life and all of its struggles have led me to the conclusion that anyone can recover if given 2 things: resources and support. When asked what keeps me going in this field, after 10+ years, I typically respond; “I am merely a farmer. I plant the seeds, nourish when necessary, and give space to allow growth.” Watching clients transform into better versions of themselves is not only rewarding but inspiring. It is a “job” I never take for granted.

Tracy Dunn

Interventionist / Relationships & Co-Dependency

Tracy Dunn is a National Interventionist and Addiction Coach who has received training at the Crossroads Recovery Coaching Academy of Seattle Washington and The Addiction Academy in Miami Florida. As the daughter of Roger Dunn of the Roger Dunn Golf Stores, Tracy knows all too well the dramatic impact that fame and addiction can have on the family system. Her professional training partnered with over 32 years of sobriety has led Tracy to be deeply committed to both saving and changing the lives of those struggling with addiction and alcoholism and their families.

As a group facilitator, she works collaboratively with her clients to help them focus on the action they will need to take to recognize the vision they will have for themselves. As an interventionist, she has helped many families to overcome the paralyzing grip of addiction by teaching accountability, compassion, and the other tools needed to break the cycle of addiction and maintain sobriety. Tracy works with the media, treatment facilities, interventionists, therapists, and addiction psychiatrists and consults with treatment facilities. Her dedication to saving lives has given a dynamic voice of recovery to those who had previously given up hope, and the belief that they are able to create their own successes.

Williams addiction began at an early age and followed a slow and steady progression. Eventually, William knew he had to make a change. With the help of drug and alcohol treatment, William got sober on May 26th, 2014. He has been sober ever since. William’s talent as a singer/songwriter, passion for the healing power of music, and the struggles of his past make him an outstanding program administrator for Rock to Recovery. He believes in the strength of creative expression as an extremely effective tool to cope with overwhelming emotions in early sobriety because William was actually in Rock to Recovery groups as a CLIENT before he became a program facilitator.

Bunny & Murphy

Registered Emotional Support Animals

Bunny is a 3yo male French Bulldog and Murphy is a 6yo female Shiba Inu. Both of these pups have been raised at Anchored Tides and grew up handing out love and support to our clients. They have the wonderful ability to sense when someone needs a little extra love, some playful puppy time, or just a companion to sit and hold space while they are processing something. 

Murphy’s favorite treatment activities are Lunch, Reiki, Process group, and sitting in on individual sessions. Bunny’s favorite activities are Lunch, DBT, and also sitting in on individual sessions. When they aren’t working, Murphy likes to play with her little brother (who is not a support animal), go on hikes, dig holes, sleep and eat. During Bunny’s time off, he likes to destroy squeaky toys, play with his nerf dog gun, and sleep.

They (and we) believe that animals are essential in providing emotional support. Studies have shown that some of the benefits of having an ESA include enhancing calm and relaxation, alleviating loneliness, enhancing social engagement and interaction, normalizing heart rate and blood pressure, and reducing stress, pain, anxiety, and depression. They are an important part of the holistic approach at ATR to make everyone feel loved and comfortable as they walk through their recovery journey.

Hillary not only enjoys being part of the Anchored Tides family, but showing up as a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to those around her.

Markie Maneval

Markie Maneval

Operations Manager - RADT-1

Like many who have struggled with addiction, Markie’s journey to sobriety was no straightforward path. As a Tulane University student and intern for the NASA Stennis Space Center, she was on her way to a successful life! Personal struggles and watching her brother also struggle and lose his battle with drugs and alcohol only drove her deeper into addiction. Her drug and alcohol abuse continued to grow out of control until she finally realized it was time to surrender and get help. She was tired of living on the streets. She was tired of hurting her loved ones. She was tired of how much she hated herself.

She now has over five years of sobriety and is a strong believer in the ability to transform the future by making positive and healthy changes. Today, Markie has over five years of sobriety and has worked in the drug and alcohol treatment industry for over 4 years. She is a strong believer in the ability to transform the future by making positive and healthy changes. She is passionate about the work and the impact she makes on her community. Markie recently joined the Anchored Tides Recovery Team and is excited to help women begin their journey into sobriety!

Rebecca Edge

CEO / Co-Founder

Becca Edge is originally from Birmingham, Alabama. She is no stranger to mental health and substance abuse issues in her family, and she herself also struggled with addiction and moved to California to commit herself to treatment. She has been in long-term recovery since 2010. After much success in the corporate world, Rebecca started a sober living home as a “passion project” to provide women with a safe place as they re-enter the world as sober members of society. She noticed that there weren’t many aftercare programs dedicated to women’s sobriety or supporting them with the various co-occurring disorders that pop up once women are free from drugs and alcohol. So in 2016, Rebecca partnered with Amy to create a safe, therapy-focused place where women can heal from their addictions, trauma, and other issues while growing into who they were always meant to be. Becca is passionate about helping women realize their worth and supporting/helping them navigate the next steps of their lives, all while helping them feel secure on their road to long-term recovery.
