Alcohol and Drug Detox Program in Los Angeles, California

The detox process is dependent on the substance you are detoxing from, but most clients find success in their detox and withdrawal symptoms within 5-7 days of starting the process. You will detox safely in our residential treatment center with the support of our clinical team for any challenges that may arise during your detox.

When you check in to our residential treatment center, you will start with your detox process, and once you’ve successfully detoxed, join your peers in our residential program which includes therapy, daily group sessions and holistic therapy.

We want you to be comfortable throughout your treatment, and recommend packing like you’re going on a week-long vacation. One week of clothes that include options for hot or cold weather, different activities such as lounging, movement like yoga, and casual wear for your daily group meetings. You will have access to laundry throughout your stay.

Please also bring the following:

• Insurance card and photo ID
• Comfortable everyday shoes
• Sneakers or other shoes for sports/walks outside
• Flip-flops for the shower, if desired
• Slippers to keep your feet warm inside
• T-shirts or tops with sleeves and/or cardigans to wear over sleeveless tops
• Pants, shorts, or skirts that comply with appropriate dress
• Gym clothes for yoga, workouts, or other forms of exercise

The medications we use to maximize the safety and comfort of the detox process vary based on the substance abused and severity of your withdrawal symptoms. Some examples include:

Opioid Use Disorder: Medications such as tegretol and gabapentin can help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

Alcohol Use Disorder: Medications such as benzodiazepines (diazepam or lorazepam) gabapentin, tegretol can help manage symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, including anxiety, seizures, and insomnia and cravings.

Sedative Use Disorder: Medications such as diazepam or chlordiazepoxide can help manage withdrawal symptoms, such as seizures and anxiety.

Stimulant Use Disorder: Medications such as benzodiazepines or antipsychotics can be used to manage symptoms of stimulant withdrawal, including anxiety, agitation, and paranoia.

At Clear, medications are only used under the supervision of a licensed medical professional and when necessary. Our strong belief is that medications are just one part of a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan, used in combination with our treatment programs. All medication decisions are made in collaboration with your needs, and medication selection is dependent on your unique medical history, current health status, health goals and other factors.

At Clear Behavioral Health, we understand that when people seek detox services, the cost is an important factor. That’s why we accept most insurance providers and will work with you to understand your exact coverage options with full cost transparency before you check in.

In your initial week, you will stay comfortable in our residential beds throughout your detox process. Once your symptoms have subsided, you will join the rest of our residents in a carefully curated therapeutic treatment schedule that fits your exact needs and targets the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of healing.
