Frequently Asked Questions

What is the treatment setting like at Miramar?

Due to our relatively small size, we provide tailored, individualized treatment in an intimate, family-like setting. We maintain a maximum ratio of just six Veterans for every clinician here, often less than that. Our clinical team stays in close contact with our VA partners with updates and care coordination. We also stay connected to our patients after they leave as well, delivering long-term impact. We are large enough to have all the resources for success, yet small enough to provide a personal experience.

What about travel and logistics?

Miramar takes pride in personally traveling to pick up Veterans wherever they are in the Tri-West region, ensuring they arrive in a safe and timely manner in Orange County, CA for treatment. Miramar covers and handles all outbound and inbound travel and logistics for your Veteran, and is escorted to and from by Miramar staff.

  • Intervention: Help a loved one overcome addiction – Mayo Clinic
  • It’s challenging to help a loved one struggling with any type of addiction. Sometimes a direct, heart-to-heart conversation can start the road to recovery. But when it comes to addiction, the person with the problem often struggles to see it and acknowledge it. A more focused approach is often needed. You may need to join forces with others and take action through a formal intervention.
