We believe after an effective detoxification from chemicals, treatment must include a combination of 12-step principles, in addition to addressing the full spectrum of our client's physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs. Chemical dependency is a progressive and chronic relapsing brain disease that affects the body, mind, emotions, family, workplace and the entire community.

Outpatient Detoxification for Alcohol and Drugs in Sorrento Valley

Do you try to stop using alcohol and drugs and find yourself so sick, shaky or anxious that you give up by saying your self:  what's the use, why bother?  You are not alone. Many people in San Diego county are dependent on alcohol and or drugs and convince themselves that it is easier to live with the addiction than trying to stop drinking or using drugs.

Outpatient Detoxification, is the first step on the road of recovery, and is provided over 3 days, minimum, if you qualify medically. If you have experienced seizures in previous detox episodes, it would be safer for you be in an inpatient facility.  If you would like to find out if your drinking and drugging can be stopped in an outpatient detoxification setting, give us a call.  We are here, even in the evenings and on the week-ends to help you with a new beginning.You don't have to isolate or hide evidence of your substance use any more.

There are hundreds of men and women in La Jolla or Del Mar who would love to give up the shame and guilt of lying about their alcohol or drug use. Having to sneak a drink, whether it be in the afternoon or the morning is a sure sign that you have passed the limits of social drinking and now it is becoming a medical problem.

Please know that alcohol and drug dependence is not only very dangerous, but in some cases can be deadly, especially if alcohol and drugs are used in combination with one another.  Alcohol and cocaine or tranquillizer medications used together generally alters the body signals to tell you that your body is on a dangerous alcohol overload. Using opiate pain medications or heroin can shut down body in overdose and death.

The process of detoxification allows you to stop using the substances and gives you time to clear out harmful chemicals and toxins that your brain has gotten used to.  Being free of alcohol and drugs is the first step in allowing your brain to begin producing neurotransmitters that had been previously altered so you can feel your brain and body pleasures again.   Alcohol and drugs have hijacked  the brain to alter the natural experience of pleasure. Most people at this point in their alcohol and drug use are using just to feel normal.  Begin detoxing now and help yourself and your family.
