Long Beach Drug Detox Center
Long Beach
Addiction is a chronic disease, one that changes the size, structure, and function of the brain. These neurobiological changes to the brain make it so that you seek harmful behavior at the expense of everything else. This compounds with time as ongoing changes to your brain result in secondary conditions like mental health conditions.
No matter your situation or background with drug addiction, our facility is here to help.

- How much you take
- Your mental health
- Your physical health

What to Expect with Drug Detox Services
When you reach out to our drug detox center in Long Beach, we can provide you with a better idea of how long your detox process will be after we complete your initial assessment and evaluation.
This evaluation helps us determine your background, your mental and physical health, any family history of mental or physical health problems, and your history of drug abuse.
It’s important to be as honest as possible during this evaluation as it helps us establish a baseline and make determinations for the right type of program to fit your needs. You don’t get in trouble based on the answers, and there is no right or wrong answer.
Once you decide to work with us and we have provided a recommended Long Beach drug rehab plan, you’ll check in to our facility. Once you check-in, you’ll be introduced to the medical staff who will oversee your detox.
You’ll stay at our drug rehab center in Long Beach during your detox. Once you are admitted, symptoms will usually begin within the first 12 hours, if not sooner. We will prepare you for what symptoms you can expect and provide medication throughout the course of your detox to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Once you complete your detox process, you can expect to transition seamlessly into the next phase of your recovery, your residential or partial hospitalization program. This program will include a series of evidence-based services and holistic programs that have been customized to your needs.

Choosing a Drug Detox Center in Long Beach
Choosing a drug detox center can be an overwhelming decision, particularly when faced with so many therapy types, program levels, and other variabilities.
MAT versus Traditional Outpatient Detox
If you or someone in your family is struggling with addiction, you need to consider the type of substance to which you are addicted. Each type of substance comes with different risks and withdrawal symptoms. As a result, the type of detox treatment you receive at a Long Beach drug rehab center will vary.
For example:
- Cocaine addiction has primarily psychological withdrawal symptoms, but the cravings last longer than any other substance, normally up to six months.
- Opioids have primarily physical withdrawal symptoms, but they are so uncomfortable and painful that most people relax if they try to detox alone.
- Successful detox for opioids or benzodiazepines often requires FDA-approved medication. However, this medication can only be prescribed at federally approved treatment centers like our drug detox center in Long Beach.
We offer detox services for cocaine, heroin, benzodiazepines, and prescription opioids, and we provide medication-assisted care using appropriate FDA-approved programs and over-the-counter medication to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Supervision
Supervision is an incredibly important aspect of your treatment. With our Long Beach drug rehab programs, you will go through an initial assessment before you check in for your detox. That assessment will establish a medical and psychological baseline, the information from which will be used to best prepare you for the expected symptoms and length of your withdrawal.
Detox comes with many painful side effects that include physical and emotional distress. No matter how long your withdrawal program is, we keep staff members on-site to help you manage your discomfort and provide the medical resources to keep you safe. Should any medical complications arise, we have licensed staff members who are there to address the issues quickly and effectively.
Ongoing Care
When choosing a drug detox center in Long Beach, you’ll have to consider the type of ongoing care you receive from that facility and whether it’s a good fit.
For starters, if you are participating in an opioid detox program, you’ll need a facility that not only has the qualification to administer the medication necessary but can help you with your ongoing residential or partial hospitalization program. We will work with you during your assessment to determine which level of care is the best recommendation.
We also specialize in family support. We know how important it is for individuals struggling with addiction to have support from their loved ones. Those whose family members support them and are actively involved in their recovery are more likely to:
- Complete their drug rehab program
- Continue attending support groups
- Circumvent a relapse immediately after treatment
With our family support programs, you can involve your closest family members and things like family therapy while they can receive custom information and education about addiction and how to best support you throughout each phase of your recovery.
If you are struggling with mental health disorders, our drug rehab center in Long Beach offers dual diagnosis programs designed to address co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders.
We provide residential and partial hospitalization programs for this purpose. Our residential programs typically run between 30 days and 45 days, and if you prefer or still need increased supervision, you can transition into lower levels of care after your residential program.
With our Long Beach drug rehab center, you receive Aftercare Planning that helps prepare you for a return to normalcy. This includes:
- Developing coping strategies
- Finding community resources
- Connecting with support groups in the Long Beach area
If holistic therapies are important to you, that should be a factor to consider when choosing your drug detox center in Long Beach. Not all facilities provide the same types of evidence-based therapies.
Some clients have tried other outpatient programs and found that they didn’t adequately address their needs, or they focused exclusively on talk therapy. Other clients simply know that they have a preference for a mind-body approach because of co-occurring mental health disorders, so they prefer something that integrates writing, yoga, meditation, and mindfulness therapies.
