Alcohol Detox in Orange County

Alcohol is one of the only substances whose withdrawal can kill you. Our clinically supervised alcohol detox in Huntington Beach gets men safely through the first days — so real recovery can begin.

Overview

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is unlike any other. Shakes, sweats, and anxiety in the first 24 hours can progress to seizures, cardiac events, and delirium tremens by day 2 or 3 — a condition with a mortality rate as high as 15% when untreated. Anyone drinking heavily and daily should never quit cold turkey at home. Our Orange County alcohol detox provides the CIWA-monitored, medication-supported environment men need to detox safely and start the harder work of staying sober.

Who It's For

Men drinking daily for months or years
Men who have experienced past withdrawals — the next one is often worse
Anyone with a history of AWS seizures or delirium tremens
Men with co-occurring medical conditions that make unsupervised detox dangerous
Family members watching a loved one try (and fail) to quit at home
