We Partner with Facilities who Offer Alcohol & Drug Detox Treatment
Quitting drugs and alcohol abruptly can cause severe withdrawal symptoms that may be deadly for some. Heavy drinkers who suffer from alcohol use disorder face the risk of a severe form of withdrawal called delirium tremens, which can cause seizures, hallucinations, and even death. But many of today’s drug and alcohol detox treatments involve the use of medications that can treat specific symptoms or eliminate symptoms completely.
As part of our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Plans, Alter partners with detox facilities that offer alcohol and drug detox. Personalized monitoring and management of withdrawal symptoms are provided around-the-clock at our partner detox centers. Every detox program is uniquely designed to provide the highest level of treatment for total wellness and recovery. After detox, we then facilitate door-to-door transfer into our mental health programs.

The Detox Difference
Detoxification is just the first stage of addiction treatment and by itself does little to change long-term drug use and abuse issues. Although detox alone is never enough to help addicts achieve long-term abstinence, for most individuals it is the first step and the initial shock to their system they need to kick-start their addiction recovery process.
Detox programs at our partner facilities include, but are not limited to:
Detoxification, or “detox,” safely manages the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal associated with stopping drug use. Most chronic alcoholics and drug addicts require a-monitored detox to help their bodies cope with the changes in their body’s chemistry. The substances have been poisoning their system for a long time. If they’re going to get well, their body has to go through a period of major physical adjustment so that the poisons can work their way out of their system.
Withdrawal Symptoms Managed, Alleviated
For long-term users, they are probably familiar with the terrible feelings of alcohol or drug addiction withdrawal that occur when they weren’t able to use for whatever reason. It’s common to experience uncontrollable vomiting, involuntary shaking, convulsing and “flu-like” sweating. In many cases, the person’s body can’t keep food down, their mind can’t concentrate, and sleep is nonexistent.
These extreme withdrawal symptoms are why many people dread entering a detox program. It’s a terrible experience to live through. As part of our dual diagnosis treatment programs, our residential mental health facility in Southern California partners with detox facilities that offer supervised detoxification treatments which can alleviate much of the most severe withdrawal symptoms. Every detox patient is under professional care and supervision through their initial detoxification process and all throughout their recovery treatment program.
What Makes Dana Point Dual Diagnosis Programs Different?
We carefully consider the needs of each person individually and holistically. Our goal isn’t just to get them clean and send them on their way to face the world on their own again. Instead, we look to complete the healing, restoration and recovery process of every person who walks through our doors. Care doesn’t end with detox. We provide a personalized treatment plan for long-term recovery, as well as help residents transition into the next phase of recovery.
Evaluation
Specially trained nurses will take the time to review history carefully, check vitals, examine your current condition for signs of withdrawal, and more. Professionals at our partner detox facilities will create a personalized detox program. Each program is continuously updated as patients progress through their detoxification, all the while ensuring both comfort and safety.
Stabilization
Your care team regularly checks your vitals and neurological status and carefully watches for the presence of potentially life-threatening symptoms like delirium, seizures and high blood pressure. The detox process can last up to three weeks, depending on the severity of the withdrawal symptoms of each.
Transition
It’s what you do after detox that determines the extent of your sobriety. Our treatment programs include door-to-door transfer to our mental health programs. Once you’ve completed your detoxification program, you’ll be prepared to continue your recovery journey.
