PHP, IOP, and outpatient care for women in Orange County — paired with specialty tracks for substance use, dual diagnosis, trauma, and disordered eating.
“Anchored tides saved my life. I had been to an inpantient facility before and my sobriety wasn't lasting, until I found this place. I enjoyed the different groups and the staff and women are so welcoming. I felt so comfortable here, which I hadn't felt before. I now have the confidence to succeed in life. Very thankful for this place.”
What we are
Anchored Tides Recovery is a women-only outpatient treatment program in Huntington Beach, California, serving adult women across Orange County and Southern California.
Our programs are organized into two parallel structures: levels of care that define how often a woman is with us each week — PHP, IOP, and outpatient — and specialty tracks that define the clinical focus of her treatment, including substance use, dual diagnosis, trauma-informed care, and disordered eating.
Most women combine one level of care with one or more specialty tracks. Admissions handles the placement decision with each woman individually, after a clinical assessment and a confidential benefits check.
Why Anchored Tides
Our programs are shaped by a women-only environment, female-founded leadership, and a trauma-informed orientation that runs through every level of care. Clinical decisions reflect what works for women navigating addiction, co-occurring mental health concerns, and the trauma that often sits underneath both.
We hold Joint Commission accreditation, NAATP membership, and a current DHCS license (#300386AP), and our clinical team is led by Zoe Tambling, LMFT, our Clinical Director.

Levels of care
Three structured options — PHP for full days, IOP for several sessions a week, and outpatient for ongoing relapse-prevention work.

Learn moreLooking for treatment by condition?
Our Programs hub is organized around levels of care and specialty tracks. If you’d rather start by substance or mental-health condition, the Conditions hub is organized that way.
Not sure which program fits?
Most women don’t walk in knowing whether they need PHP or IOP, or whether trauma or substance use is the bigger issue. That’s what our admissions team helps figure out — through a confidential clinical assessment and a benefits check, before anyone schedules anything.

Decision support
Most women at Anchored Tides combine one level of care with one or more specialty tracks. A woman entering PHP might also be in the trauma-informed track and seeing our Registered Dietitian. A woman in IOP might be in our dual diagnosis track because anxiety and substance use are showing up together.
The level of care defines how often you’re with us each week. The specialty track defines what we’re working on. Both are built into a single treatment plan — there isn’t a separate program for each.
The right combination is something our clinical team and admissions team determine together with each woman, based on a clinical assessment and what’s clinically appropriate.
No. Our admissions team handles that decision with you, based on a clinical assessment and a benefits check. Most women have no idea which level fits when they first reach out, and that's expected.
Yes. Anchored Tides is a women-only outpatient program across every level of care and specialty track. Group therapy, clinical staff, and the program environment are built for women specifically.
No. Anchored Tides is an outpatient program — PHP, IOP, and OP. We aren't a residential facility. For care that sits outside outpatient, our clinical team works with trusted partners and helps with the placement decision before treatment begins with us.
Disordered eating is one of our specialty tracks. It can stand on its own or be combined with substance use, trauma, or dual diagnosis care, depending on what's clinically appropriate.
Yes. Our dual diagnosis track is built for women whose substance use is intertwined with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other co-occurring mental health conditions. Treatment is integrated into a single clinical plan rather than handled separately.
Our PHP runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, with women attending five to six days per week. Care includes evidence-based individual therapy, trauma-informed group therapy, holistic practices, and life-skills work. Length of stay is determined by our clinical team alongside each woman, based on progress and clinical needs.
We work with most major PPO insurance plans. Verification is handled confidentially before any clinical decisions are made. You can submit your insurance information through our Verify Insurance form, or call (866) 329-6639 to speak with admissions.
