Located in Sonoma County, California, our program is intended for adults struggling with alcohol or drug abuse, as well as those who may also struggle with co-occurring mental health disorders.

Whether you’re taking the first courageous step towards sobriety or seeking help for a loved one, our center offers a compassionate and effective approach to alcohol detox near you.
Alcohol detox is often the first and most critical step in the recovery journey, as it helps to break physical alcohol dependence.

What Detoxification Involves in a Medical Setting
Detoxification, commonly known as detox, is the crucial first step in the journey toward sobriety for individuals struggling with alcohol dependence. Detox involves the process of eliminating alcohol from the body while simultaneously managing the withdrawal symptoms that can arise. Our alcohol detox program is designed to provide the highest level of care during this critical phase.
Why Our Approach to Addiction Treatment Is Different
Align Recovery Centers provides evidence-based addiction treatment in a structured, family-style environment designed to support long-term recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.
Medically Supported Detox and Residential Treatment
Clients have access to medically supervised detox, residential treatment, medication-assisted treatment, and ongoing clinical support throughout the recovery process.
Evidence-Based and Holistic Treatment Options
Programs incorporate evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and trauma-focused therapy, as well as experiential approaches such as yoga, art therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness practices.
Recovery Planning Beyond Residential Treatment
Discharge and aftercare planning begin early in treatment to help clients transition into appropriate next steps, including sober living, outpatient treatment, continued therapy, and community-based recovery support.
Trauma-Informed, Therapy-Forward Care
Treatment focuses on the underlying factors contributing to substance use, including trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and other co-occurring disorders.
Personalized Care in a Supportive Environment
With a 45-bed capacity and individualized treatment planning, we emphasize connection, accountability, and personalized attention without resort-style or luxury positioning.
Family Involvement and Recovery Education
Recovery often impacts the entire family system in many complex ways. We offer family education, clinician-supported visitation, and couples or family therapy sessions to help strengthen communication and long-term support.
Flexible Recovery Pathways
Clients are introduced to multiple recovery approaches, including 12-Step support, SMART Recovery, and Recovery Dharma, so they can explore which best supports their long-term recovery goals.
Clinical Alcohol Detox Process at Align
Our clinical alcohol detox process begins with an initial assessment and the development of a treatment plan. It then continues with 24/7 medical monitoring, nutritional and physical stabilization, and emotional and behavioral support.
Initial Assessment and Treatment Plan
Upon arrival, you will undergo a comprehensive assessment to determine the extent of your alcohol dependence and any underlying health conditions. This assessment allows our medical team to create a personalized detox plan tailored to your specific needs.
Nutritional and Physical Stabilization
Alcohol dependence often leads to poor nutrition and dehydration. Our program includes nutritional guidance to replenish essential vitamins and minerals, helping your body recover from the effects of prolonged alcohol use. Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in the detox process, helping restore your physical health.
Emotional and Behavioral Support
Detoxification is not just a physical process; it also involves addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of addiction. Our counselors and therapists are available to help you manage the anxiety, depression, or fear that may arise during detox.
24/7 Medical Monitoring
Alcohol withdrawal can be unpredictable, with symptoms ranging from mild anxiety to severe complications such as seizures or delirium tremens (DTs). Our detox program includes round-the-clock medical supervision to monitor your vital signs, manage withdrawal symptoms, and administer any necessary medications.
Transition Planning
Detox is only the first step in the recovery journey. Once your body has been cleansed of alcohol, it’s essential to continue treatment to address the underlying causes of addiction and build the skills necessary for long-term sobriety. We offer seamless transitions to our residential treatment programs, where you can continue your recovery journey in a structured environment. After completing our residential program, we can provide referrals to ongoing levels of care.

Withdrawal Symptoms and
Medical Stabilization Timeline
The detox process can vary from person to person, depending on many different factors, including the severity of the alcohol dependence, whether or not the individual has a history of other types of drug use, overall health, and any existing co-occurring conditions.
The First 6-12 Hours
Early withdrawal symptoms may begin within several hours of the last drink and may include anxiety, sweating, nausea, and insomnia. Our medical team monitors symptoms closely and utilizes withdrawal management protocols as needed.
24-72 Hours
The peak of withdrawal symptoms is often experienced within 24 to 72 hours. During this time, severe symptoms such as tremors, high blood pressure, and seizures may occur. Our team is heavily focused on continuous medical monitoring and symptom management during this time.
3-7 Days
After the initial peak, symptoms generally begin to subside as physical stabilization improves. Lingering symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, irritability, or mood changes may still occur. Our treatment will continue with ongoing monitoring and stabilization while also coordinating transition planning for the next stage of treatment.

Following detox, our residential treatment program offers a structured environment where you can continue your recovery with 24/7 support.
Residential Programs
Following alcohol detox, many of our clients will transition to residential treatment. In our inpatient setting, clients can continue with substance abuse treatment while also working to address the behavioral, psychological, and mental health factors that may be associated with their addiction.
During residential treatment, clients have access to structured daily programming, including individual and group therapy, psychiatric services, and medication management. Treatment plans are also individualized based on the client’s specific needs, recovery goals, and ongoing assessments.
Outpatient Treatment and IOP
Following residential treatment, some individuals may transition to outpatient treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), or an intensive outpatient program (IOP). This is part of a step-down plan and may include ongoing therapy, participation in support groups, relapse prevention support, and continued recovery planning.
While we do not have on-site outpatient treatment options, we can provide referrals to an outpatient, PHP, or IOP treatment provider and assist with the coordination of program placement.
Aftercare and Relapse Prevention
Planning for post-treatment life begins early in the treatment process. Aftercare focuses on ongoing care after a client completes the initial stages of treatment. For many, this could include outpatient treatment, referrals for sober living, continued therapy, and other recovery support services.
Referrals
Our team can provide any necessary referrals for outpatient treatment, PHPs, IOPs, or sober living facilities.
