Alcohol Detox
Available 24/7
Private six-bed residential facility
We support adults who have tried to quit drinking but returned to use, including working professionals who may have kept their drinking hidden from coworkers or family.
Clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief alongside alcohol use can receive coordinated mental health support as part of their treatment plan.
Older adults may face greater medical risks during alcohol withdrawal and are fully supported here. Clients on medication-assisted treatment may also be eligible when they can be safely supported within the program.
Withdrawal symptoms usually start within six to twelve hours after the last drink, although timing varies depending on drinking history. For long-term heavy drinking, withdrawal can escalate into more serious complications.
Detox follows a structured sequence built around each client's history and withdrawal risk. Each stage builds on the last, starting with information gathering and ending with a plan for continued care.
Intake covers alcohol use quantity, frequency, duration, and previous attempts to stop. Staff also review medications, other substance use, prior withdrawal episodes, and existing diagnoses.
Staff assess withdrawal risk based on factors such as age, drinking history, prior seizures, and other medical conditions. This helps determine the level of monitoring and medical coordination needed.
Staff track vital signs and withdrawal symptoms on an adjustable schedule. Private rooms, regular meals, rest, and 24-hour access to support help clients through the withdrawal period.
Before discharge, staff develop a continuum-of-care plan that may include residential treatment, an outside referral, or outpatient support to reduce gaps between detox and continued recovery.
Getting started is simpler than most people expect. The process moves from a confidential conversation to the beginning of medically supervised care.
Talk through drinking history, current symptoms, and what led you to seek detox. The call stays private, and you remain free to decide what happens next.
Admissions staff check your insurance benefits and explain what's likely covered before you agree to treatment.
Clinical staff review your health information and build a detox plan matched to your withdrawal risk.
Complete your full intake and begin medically supervised detox in a calm, monitored residential setting.
The cost of alcohol detox depends on length of stay, level of monitoring, and insurance coverage. Admissions verifies your benefits before treatment begins so you have an estimate of what to expect financially.
Deductibles, copayments, or services outside your plan may still apply. Private-pay arrangements can also be discussed directly with admissions.
Detox addresses the physical side of alcohol dependence. Once withdrawal symptoms stabilize, clients may move into residential treatment, where therapy and case management address triggers, coping patterns, and co-occurring mental health needs.
Relapse prevention and aftercare planning begin before discharge so there is a clear path into the next stage of recovery.

Being set off East Lindsey Drive in North Palm Springs, away from downtown traffic and the routines tied to drinking, gives clients a quieter, more private environment during withdrawal. The six-bed capacity means staff attention stays closely focused throughout a client's stay.
Admission includes a full intake evaluation and medical assessment before medically supervised detox begins. Admissions staff share specific requirements and what to bring ahead of arrival, and can walk you through directions to the facility if you're arriving from elsewhere in the valley.
Visiting stays limited during the early stage of alcohol withdrawal treatment, since the focus is on medical stabilization and rest. Admissions staff share specific visiting guidelines once a detox plan is in place.
Distance from people, places, and routines tied to drinking is often part of the decision. A quieter desert setting away from Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Desert gives many clients room to focus on early recovery.
