Stimulant Detox Program in CA

Our program supports adults 18+ with substance use disorder through medically assisted detox with 24/7 nursing support. Detox under medical supervision can help adults experiencing stimulant withdrawal symptoms, methamphetamine dependence, misuse of Adderall or Ritalin, or repeated relapse involving prescription stimulants and other substances.

Our 6- to 7-day detox program provides each client with an individualized treatment plan focused on evidence-based modalities and emotional stabilization in a therapy-forward recovery environment. During detox, clients receive hybrid on-site and virtual clinical oversight by medical professionals. Our clinicians monitor physical health, heart rate, sleep disruption, hydration, emotional safety, and withdrawal symptoms while helping clients stabilize in a structured environment.

Unlike detox-only recovery programs, we allow clients to continue directly into residential treatment with ongoing therapy, medication support, and the same clinical team guiding their recovery process, when clinically appropriate.

A Recovery Environment Designed to Reduce Stress and Overwhelm

We provide a family-style setting and calming residential environment rather than a clinical or institutional detox center. Our facility is located in a historic stone building on 2+ acres, with a large backyard, a library, a recreation room, and private, quiet rooms.

With outdoor access, low-stimulation spaces, expressive therapies, shared meals, and opportunities for physical and emotional rest during early recovery, clients enjoy an emotionally supportive atmosphere where they can connect with peers and also reflect on their recovery journey.

Our team of on-site nurses, therapists, counselors, and virtual specialty providers works collaboratively throughout the drug detox and treatment process.

What Makes Our Approach to Addiction Treatment 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.

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.

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, and trauma-focused therapy, alongside experiential approaches such as yoga, art therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness practices.

Family Involvement and Recovery Education

Recovery often impacts the entire family system. 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, allowing individuals to explore what best supports their long-term recovery goals.

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.

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.

Core Components of Our Stimulant Detox Program

Our stimulant detox program provides medical supervision as well as emotional and therapeutic support throughout early recovery. Clients can also take part in holistic and experiential activities to support their long-term well-being.

Medical Stabilization During Acute Withdrawal

Our medically assisted detox program includes healthcare oversight, withdrawal symptom management, proper hydration, sleep support, nutritional care, and monitoring during the acute stimulant withdrawal process.

Emotional Support During the Withdrawal Process

Clients receive emotional support for co-occurring mental health conditions, such as severe depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, irritability, and emotional instability during stimulant detoxification.

Therapeutic Support During Early Recovery

During early recovery, we offer evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and Conscious Recovery. We also include trauma-informed therapy, psychoeducation, group therapy, and peer support throughout the detox and treatment process.

Holistic Approaches to Stress and Recovery

In addition to medically supervised detox and trauma-informed therapies, our treatment plans offer holistic therapies that include mindfulness, yoga, qigong, expressive arts therapies, recreation, and wellness-focused care.

Building a Foundation
for Long-Term Recovery

With discharge planning that begins during week one, we provide clients with access to our aftercare programs, including an assigned counselor, a private app, group therapy, alumni events/reunions, and family follow‑up. Continuing support can help clients prevent relapse, develop coping strategies, and receive ongoing recovery support beyond detox.

What Daily Life Looks Like During Stimulant Detox

During stimulant detox, clients are provided with a structured level of care that includes medical monitoring, group therapy, meaningful quiet time, and clinician support.

Structured Mornings Focused on Physical Stabilization

Clients enjoy structured schedules, starting with breakfast at 8 AM, proper hydration, and medication check-ins. Medical staff also monitor clients’ symptoms and offer supportive medical care, as well as a morning goal-setting group to start the day.

Therapeutic Afternoons Focused on Recovery and Processing

After lunch at 12 PM, afternoons include therapy groups where clients receive emotional processing and psychoeducation. They can also take part in holistic and experiential therapies, such as yoga, mindfulness, and psychodrama.

Evenings Centered on Rest and Nervous System Recovery

Once clients have dinner at 5 PM, they can prioritize quiet time, processing, and reflecting on their day in the evenings. They can enjoy movies, journaling, gardening, or reading a book while still having access to recovery meetings and continued support from staff.

Supporting Sleep, Appetite, and Physical Healing

Our detox program provides healthy, nourishing meals to encourage increased appetite, manage exhaustion, stabilize nutrition, and support physical recovery during stimulant withdrawal. They also help manage hypersomnia, the need to sleep during the day or oversleep at night.

Recovery Support Without a Punitive Environment

Our treatment program balances accountability with compassion and avoids rigid, shame-based treatment dynamics. We’re proud of our mom‑and‑pop family vibe and include non‑punitive milestone celebrations because we don’t believe that relapse equals a restart at zero for our clients.

Stimulant Use Disorders and Co-Occurring Conditions We Treat

Our detox and rehabilitation treatment programs for stimulant use disorder use a dual diagnosis approach for co-occurring mental health conditions. Recovery support is also focused on polysubstance use, including use of methamphetamines, prescription substances, and ADHD medication.

Methamphetamine Detox and Recovery Support

Similar to antidepressants, withdrawal symptoms for methamphetamines can include cravings, fatigue, anxiety, and restlessness, as well as chills, depression, and mood swings. Stabilizing these symptoms at an accredited treatment center under medical supervision is key when detoxing from methamphetamines.

Prescription Stimulant Dependence and ADHD Medication Misuse

We provide detox and treatment for the misuse of several other stimulants in addition to methamphetamine. Our team treats misuse and dependence on prescription amphetamines, including central nervous system (CNS) stimulants such as Adderall and Ritalin.

Polysubstance Substance Use and Chronic Relapse

Our medically assisted detox program also supports clients experiencing polysubstance use. Polysubstance use occurs when stimulant misuse takes place alongside other substances, such as alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and prescription drugs.

Mental Health Conditions Connected to Stimulant Addiction

Dual diagnosis treatment addresses co-occurring mental health conditions that often go hand-in-hand with stimulant addiction. Co-occurring conditions may include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, eating disorders, and emotional dysregulation.

Continuing Care and Recovery Planning After Detox

Personalized, integrated care for our clients doesn’t end when detox ends. Once they are medically stable, clients can easily transition into our residential treatment program. Through early discharge planning, they can also receive lifetime access to our aftercare services and referrals for outpatient treatment, sober living, and continued support for lasting recovery.

Short-Term Detoxification and Medical Stabilization

Our detox program assists clients in safely managing stimulant withdrawal syndrome, including symptoms such as cravings, fatigue, anxiety, and restlessness, in a medically supervised environment. Detox allows clients to safely stabilize after withdrawal and feel prepared for entering inpatient treatment.

Transitioning Into Residential Treatment

Residential treatment is recommended for clients with severe stimulant addiction, co-occurring disorders, or repeated relapse. Even when the body is drug-free, clients can still experience intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Residential treatment provides the therapeutic support needed for clients to form new habits and prevent relapse.

Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient Recovery Referrals

Our team provides referrals to clients for continuing and outpatient care once treatment is complete, including sober living, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), and ongoing behavioral healthcare after discharge.

Personalized Case Management and Discharge Planning

Part of our personalized care plans includes a weekly visit with an assigned case manager, doctor, and therapist. Case managers also assist with transition planning, including transportation coordination, referrals, medication management follow-ups, insurance support, and paperwork that includes FMLA and SDI letters.

Long-Term Recovery Support Beyond Detox

Supporting our clients doesn’t end when treatment does. Our clients enjoy aftercare programs that include alumni support, family engagement, relapse prevention planning, and continued recovery resources.\

Recognizing the Warning Signs of Stimulant Addiction

Understanding the warning signs associated with stimulant addiction can help those struggling recognize when it’s time to get help. Professional, medically supervised detox programs can help manage withdrawal symptoms while preventing the increased risk of relapse.

Physical and Emotional Signs of Stimulant Dependence

Physical signs of stimulant dependence include:

Severe dental problems
Weight loss and malnutrition
Skin sores
Cardiovascular issues

Emotional symptoms of stimulant use disorder include:

Intense drug cravings
Inability to decrease or control use
Taking larger amounts or for longer than intended
Ignoring dangerous situations, such as stealing, drug dealing, and driving
Inability to fulfill professional or personal responsibilities

When a Loved One May Need Professional Detox Support

Behavioral changes, emotional instability, risky drug use, and declining physical health are all warning signs that it may be time for a loved one to get professional detox support for their stimulant addiction. Reach out to our team today to explore treatment options.

Early Intervention Can Improve Recovery Outcomes

Struggling with a stimulant addiction doesn’t have to define you. We emphasize compassionate, evidence-based addiction treatment and long-term recovery support through our medical detox and residential programs.

Recovery Services That Support Healing

Detoxing from stimulants involves managing withdrawal symptoms while medically stabilizing the body. However, clients still need additional support through medication, therapy, and ongoing education to assist them along their recovery journey.

Medication Support and Withdrawal Management

During medically supervised detox, clients receive 24/7 medical care and oversight to safely manage their withdrawal symptoms. While there are currently no FDA-approved medications to directly treat stimulant addiction, medications may be used to treat specific symptoms, such as anxiety or nausea.

Individual, Group, and Trauma-Informed Therapy

Trauma-informed therapy sessions are focused on emotional regulation, building coping skills, and receiving ongoing behavioral health support to foster recovery and prevent relapse.

Family Therapy and Recovery Education

Family therapy sessions each Wednesday help build communication and encourage education on treatment terms and levels of care (SLE, IOP, PHP), so families learn how to best support their loved ones. We also prioritize family participation with clinician-supervised family visits on Sundays.

Coordinated Aftercare and Recovery Referrals

With early discharge planning, we offer step‑down aftercare options, including sober living, IOP, PHP, and outpatient therapy referrals. Aftercare also includes an assigned counselor, our private, clients-only app for client and family follow‑up, continued group therapy, and alumni events/reunions, including an annual Friendsgiving.

Clients choose Align Recovery Centers because it feels like a second home. Our caring, engaging staff, tranquil environment, and dedication to warm, individualized attention, as well as the dignity, privacy, and emotional safety of our clients, are paramount to our mission.

Very thorough approach to recovery as a whole. Staff is knowledgeable and seeks to give clients the power to make the strides necessary at having the best future ahead. Align cares for their clients well-being in, and after treatment. Very approachable with any concerns and keeps clients best interests in mind while in their care. I experienced immense growth and was able to focus on the in-depth understanding of my disease, with the inclusion of my family relationships. Staying in contact has been appreciated, with a genuine sense of support and positivity in future endeavors. I intend to give back in the future, as they have given to me. I hope Align Recovery reaches many more individuals and help them grab ahold of their lives like they did for me because WE’RE WORTH IT!

– Amy N.

This place saved my life. The facility is beautiful, newly updated, super clean and organized. The clinical and executive staff are some if the most caring individuals I've ever met. They truly care about people and are very much invested in helping folks achieve recovery. They have knowledgeable clinical staff who are down to earth and Michael the executive director is so helpful and caring, which made it so easy and less scary to get started on the road to recovery. Stella is in the kitchen making healthy, thoughtfully arranged menus that can't be beat! There's process groups, art therapy, clinical therapy, a pool table, gym, and a fire pit! They are doing outpatient aftercare as well, which is great. They were integral in getting me hooked up with an SLE after discharge, which I wasn't planning on, but am SO HAPPY I did. I love this place, it's definitely the place to go if you want to get sober, so if you're ready or have a loved one that is, THIS IS THE PLACE!!

– Julia D.

As one of it's first alumni, I can tell you they did not have it all together when I got there. While they were still working out the kinks, I can also tell you, the staff at Align truly cares. They do. These are folks who are not in it for the money, but are in it to help people recover. Tim has been in the Recovery game a long time and it shows. Their comprehensive approach; 12 Steps, CBT, etc..., is the right way to go and I felt truly taken care of. Also, I met my therapist there whom I still see to this day so, needless to say, the staff is excellent. If you've tried other, corporate run facilities and found them lacking. Give Align careful consideration and they will do the same for you.

– Jesse H.

Align was the fourth treatment center I attended in my life and they did everything possible to ensure it will be my last. I am writing this note four months removed from their facility and now have about five months of sobriety. Their curriculum was similar to what I experienced in the past but what set them apart was their team. David, Jeremy, Michael, Stella, and Tim really got down to the core issues for each of their clients and helped them turn away from their addictions toward a clean and sustainable lifestyle. They expressed care about our success, so much that they established a thorough after care plan for recovery. I thought the family therapy sessions were invaluable. The food was phenomenal. The building is beautiful and I enjoyed many walks on the grounds. It's no doubt that my longest period of sobriety is directly linked to their top notch program and personnel. I look forward to visiting when I'm in the area. Thank you Align.
