Detox Treatment
The First Step
Toward Recovery
Detoxification is the essential first phase in the recovery process, where the body is allowed to be cleared of harmful substances. At Crystal Cove Recovery, our detox program is designed to provide a safe, structured, and supportive environment, ensuring a smooth transition into sobriety.
Initial Assessment
Upon arrival, clients undergo an extensive medical assessment conducted by our trained healthcare professionals and 24/7 nursing staff. This includes:
Medical History Review
Medical History Review
Clients will provide a urine sample immediately upon intake for POC testing to quickly establish which detoxification treatment protocols will be put in place, so any necessary medications can be promptly ordered from our pharmacy.
Risk Evaluation
Identifying potential withdrawal risks utilizing standardized, evidence-based assessment tools, as well as based on substances used and duration of use, allowing for tailored interventions. Client belongings will be searched thoroughly by staff, and electronic devices will be collected and stored in individual client lockers.
At Crystal Cove Recovery, we believe in the importance of detoxing from the harmful nature of electronics, social media, and potentially unhealthy connections as part of the healing process.
Medical Supervision
Our detox program is overseen by a team of medical professionals, including physicians, NPs and nurses, who specialize in addiction medicine. This medical team provides:
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
If necessary, medications such as benzodiazepines, buprenorphine and comfort medications may be prescribed to ease withdrawal symptoms and ensure client safety. The administration is carefully monitored to control the safest possible tapering of substances.
Symptom Management
Continuous evaluation and management of withdrawal symptoms—including anxiety, nausea, and agitation—are critical to maintain comfort and safety during the detox process.
Integrated Laboratory Services
Upon admission to Crystal Cove Recovery, clients will have baseline blood work completed, including a comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, TSH, complete blood count, full STI screening, and TB screening (as well as any other tests deemed medically appropriate by the provider).
We contract with a full-service specialty lab for blood work and toxicology, as well as gene site testing and medication compliance monitoring.
Psychological Support
Acknowledging the psychological and emotional challenges associated with detox, our facility offers:
Therapeutic Support
Regular visits with our licensed therapist and clinical staff who provide counseling sessions focused on coping strategies, emotional regulation, supportive interventions, and case management.
Peer Support Groups
Group sessions that promote sharing experiences and building support networks alleviate feelings of isolation during this challenging time.
The Detox Environment
The environment plays a vital role in the detox process. At Crystal Cove Recovery, we stand by our namesake. In costal terms, a cove specifically refers to a safe landing or sheltered harbor, which is precisely the ethos we promote. We provide an atmosphere that fosters serenity and healing without judgement:
Comfortable Accommodations
Clients are housed in our brand new, serene, and comfortable surroundings with an ocean view, located just blocks above Laguna’s beautiful Main Beach. Our facility is designed to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Holistic Practices
Complementary therapies such as guided meditation, breathing exercises, and light physical activity (e.g., gentle yoga) are integrated to support emotional well-being and physical recovery.
General Wellness
All meals are provided, keeping in mind any special dietary needs or restrictions clients may have. We work with clients on an individual basis to create healthy meal plans as they complete their detox process.
