Our Detox Services
Detox is the first stage of treatment. Clearing alcohol or drugs from the body can cause withdrawal symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to serious medical risk, depending on the substance and length of use. Detox services here are staffed around the clock to monitor and manage those symptoms.
Medical Detox
Withdrawal can turn dangerous quickly. Clients are monitored on a structured schedule from intake onward, with vitals and symptoms tracked so changes are caught early. Medication is introduced only when our team determines it's needed, and it's never a default part of the process.

Drug Detox
Different substances carry different withdrawal timelines and risks. Opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each present distinct patterns. Our team tailors monitoring and support to the specific substance involved, so clients move into residential care physically stabilized and ready to engage.

Alcohol Detox
Alcohol withdrawal is one of the few that can become life-threatening, including seizure risk in cases of long-term heavy drinking. We monitor vital signs on a set schedule throughout the first days and coordinate with medical providers when appropriate, since symptoms can escalate quickly even when they start out mild.

Residential Treatment At Our Rehab
Residential treatment means living on site with a structured daily schedule: individual and group therapy, consistent meals and rest, and distance from the people, places, and routines tied to using. Clients work with a consistent care team throughout their stay, which allows the team to track patterns and adjust the plan as recovery progresses, rather than reassessing from scratch at each stage.
Mental Health Conditions We Treat
We treat mental health conditions directly, whether or not substance use is involved. Addiction and mental health are often interconnected, with one driving or concealing the other, so both are addressed concurrently from day one as part of a single coordinated plan.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
When substance use and a mental health condition occur together, treating one without the other rarely holds. Dual diagnosis care addresses both in a single coordinated plan, built from the full clinical picture rather than treated as separate issues.

Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, physical tension, or restlessness, often worsening in early sobriety once substances stop numbing it. Sessions focus on practical coping skills clients can use daily, not just insight into the cause.

Depression Treatment
Low mood, lost motivation, and hopelessness can quietly undercut progress made elsewhere in treatment. We address depression as part of the same integrated plan, so it doesn't become the thing that stalls recovery.
Read more
Addiction Treatment
Our addiction treatment addresses the behavioral and physical patterns tied to substance use, including cravings, triggers, and past routines that supported using. Depending on clinical need, this includes residential care followed by step-down care as clients progress.

Who We Treat
Adults of all ages, including seniors, ready to address addiction with real clinical support behind them. Some are entering treatment for the first time; others are returning after a relapse. Each person's history shapes their plan, not the reverse.
Continuing Care After Treatment
Recovery support bridges the gap between finishing treatment and staying well, keeping clients connected instead of stepping back after discharge. The goal isn't to hand off a plan and walk away, it's to stay close for as long as it takes, so the progress made in treatment doesn't just survive daily life, it grows stronger against it.
01
Relapse Prevention
Relapse prevention work identifies specific relapse triggers (a person, place, emotional state, or situation) and builds a response plan for each before it leads to using again. This plan is written with the client.
02
Aftercare
The hardest part of recovery often isn't treatment itself, it's the weeks right after. Aftercare keeps that support in place, so clients aren't navigating early sobriety alone the moment structure lifts.
03
12 Step Program
Recovery holds stronger with people who understand it firsthand. The 12 step program offers that through shared experience, accountability, and a community built to last well beyond treatment.
Why Choose Healing Sands in Palm Springs
Most detox programs focus only on getting a client physically stable, but our drug and alcohol rehab goes further. We also help clients feel emotionally ready for what comes next, not just symptom-free.
This matters because relapse risk is highest right after detox, in the gap before treatment begins. Here, that gap doesn’t exist. Clients move straight into residential treatment with the same team, so nothing is lost along the way.
Insurance and Cost of Treatment
Treatment cost depends on level of care, length of stay, and insurance coverage. Many major insurance providers are accepted, and benefits are verified individually before admission. Staff can walk through payment options during the initial call.

This program is licensed under California state requirements for substance use treatment facilities, with clinical and safety standards reviewed on an ongoing basis.
- Your Privacy and Confidentiality
Client information is protected under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2. Treatment status, records, and personal details stay confidential and are never shared publicly without written authorization, so clients can seek care without worrying who finds out.

- The setting
- What You Should Know
Common questions before starting treatment.
“Do I need detox before residential treatment?”
Not always. The clinical assessment at intake determines whether drug or alcohol detox is needed first or whether you can begin residential treatment right away.
“Can I continue medication-assisted treatment?”
Yes, as long as you're otherwise clinically appropriate and can be safely supported within the program.
“Will my insurance cover treatment?”
Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan. We verify benefits before admission so you know what's covered upfront, though verification isn't a guarantee of payment, and deductibles or non-covered costs may still apply.
“How quickly can I be admitted?”
Same day admission may be available depending on clinical appropriateness and current bed availability.
“Will my treatment stay private?”
Yes. Your records, treatment status, and personal details are protected under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 and are never released without your written consent.
- Insurance
We verify benefits with major insurers.
We verify your benefits with the insurer directly and explain what may be covered before you commit. Verification is not a guarantee of coverage, payment, or admission.
Accepted plans vary by policy, location, level of care, medical necessity, and insurer rules.
