About First Responder Wellness

First Responder Wellness is a treatment center in Newport Beach, California, that only treats first responders. First responders work in law enforcement and firefighting as well as EMS and corrections, dispatch and other public safety roles. The center offers medical detox and residential treatment, and outpatient care with an online IOP available.

Treatment and Support for First Responders

At First Responder Wellness housing is in communities throughout Orange County which gives clients support and downtime outside treatment hours. The center has a fully equipped gym for clients along with fitness programs and group workouts, personal training and wellness coaching.
