Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during
Detoxification is the first step in getting clean and sober from alcohol and drug addiction. When your body has become physically dependent on substances to function, removing them can cause withdrawal symptoms that range from uncomfortable to life-threatening.
At Salterra OC Detox & Treatment, we provide 24/7 medical and clinical monitoring, comfort medications, and emotional support to keep you safe and stabilized. Detox is personalized based on the type of substance used, your health history, and severity of symptoms.
What happens after
After detox is complete, your treatment team will work with you to create an individualized care plan that fits your needs and goals. This may include:
Residential inpatient treatment (on-site or referral)
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Outpatient therapy
Sober living placement
Mental health or psychiatric referrals
Family support and case management
You won’t be navigating recovery alone—our team will guide you every step of the way.
