Detoxification/Residential Program Description

Detox is recommended for those who need residential and detoxification services to maintain abstinence from chemical dependency. The detoxification program operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on a residential basis.

Our detox program provides a comprehensive initial screening assessment, which is conducted to determine whether further evaluation or review is needed. We screen for alcohol and other drug use, depression, traumatic experiences, anxiety, excessive worries/stress, self-harm, hyperactivity, psychotic symptoms, eating disorders, nutritional health, educational needs, pain, and conduct disorders. Once the initial screening is conducted, a comprehensive assessment of the problem areas identified in the initial evaluation is completed. All clients will meet the assessment and admission criteria for residential and detoxification treatment for chemical dependency. Our program is a highly effective integrative treatment model focusing on the whole person and the family system.

La Jolla Recovery detox programs guide clients through all stages of treatment and recovery. Our comprehensive continuum of treatment services ensures that clients receive the appropriate level of care based on their specific needs while assisting them in attaining healthy and productive lives free of the negative influences and consequences of substance use and dependence. We aim to integrate the client’s needs within our varied program structures.

Depending on the type and severity of drugs or alcohol, our detoxification program will typically last 7 to 10 days. After the detoxification phase, we anticipate our residential program will last 30 – 60 days of treatment.

Goals

To provide safe alcohol and drug-free environment to achieve abstinence from alcohol and illicit drugs, reduce dependence symptoms, and increase functioning.
To educate clients on the effects of alcohol illicit drugs, educate them on coping skills, restore significant relationships, provide community resources, and refer them to self-help groups.

Objectives

Clients will abstain from alcohol and illicit drugs.
Clients will participate in assessments to assist in formulating the individualized treatment plan.
Clients will actively develop the treatment plan to identify goals and objectives while in treatment correctly.
Clients will actively engage in individual and group counseling sessions.

While in treatment, La Jolla Recovery clients experience a healthy, supportive, and structured environment where they can embrace sobriety and re-create their lives, halt the process of alcoholism or addiction, improve life skills, and reclaim a sense of self-worth. We work with clients, one by one, to enhance their self-awareness and heighten their understanding of what triggers their addiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What levels of care does La Jolla Recovery operate?

La Jolla Recovery operates four primary clinical levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). This structured continuum allows our clinical team to provide the exact level of medical and therapeutic support you need at every stage of your recovery.

Do you treat co-occurring mental health conditions?

Yes, La Jolla Recovery is a dual-diagnosis treatment center that treats substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, trauma, and bipolar disorder. Our mental-health-first approach ensures that both the addiction and its underlying psychological causes are addressed simultaneously.

Does La Jolla Recovery offer sober living?

La Jolla Recovery coordinates aftercare placement with trusted, independent sober living homes in San Diego. Our discharge team helps you transition into these partner sober homes for continued sobriety, and many sober living residents continue to receive clinical support through our outpatient (IOP) program.

Yes, treatment at La Jolla Recovery is often covered by major health insurance plans. You can visit our insurance verification page at Verify Insurance page or call (858) 206-8148 to have our admissions team confidentially check your benefits and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs.

Where is the treatment center located?

Our primary facility is located at 7632 Herschel Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037. Our treatment programs take place in coastal La Jolla, San Diego, featuring comfortable clinical environments and beach-adjacent or ocean-view homes.

What substances do your rehab programs treat?

Our medical and clinical teams are equipped to treat addictions to alcohol, opioids (including fentanyl and heroin), benzodiazepines, and stimulants. We provide evidence-based therapies and medical interventions tailored to the specific substance and the individual’s unique physical needs.

How does the medical detox process work?

The medical detox process involves 24/7 clinical monitoring to safely manage physical withdrawal symptoms as substances leave your body. Once you are medically stabilized, our team helps you transition directly into residential treatment or an outpatient program to begin the therapeutic phase of healing.

What is the difference between PHP and IOP?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a full-day, highly structured treatment program, whereas an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) requires fewer hours and meets only a few days a week. PHP is ideal for those needing robust daily clinical support, while IOP provides flexibility for individuals transitioning back into their everyday lives.

How long do rehab programs typically last?

The length of stay in our rehab programs varies based on your personalized treatment plan, clinical needs, and overall progress. Clients may stay anywhere from a few weeks for medical detox and initial residential care to several months as they step down through PHP and IOP.

Can I keep working or going to school during treatment?
