Medical Detox

Three to seven days of 24-hour medical supervision with direct line-of-sight to our Long Beach hospital partner. If any medical complication arises that requires higher-acuity care, transfer happens within minutes — not hours.

Withdrawal protocols are reviewed against current peer-reviewed research quarterly. Dr. Brockhurst's seat on the hospital research committee keeps our practice aligned with what the evidence actually shows works.

What's included: 24/7 nursing, physician-managed medication, psychiatric consult within 48 hours, MAT when clinically indicated, and coordinated handoffs with primary care providers already treating the patient locally.

Substances We Treat

Alcohol
Opioids
Benzodiazepines
Prescription Stimulants
Marijuana
MDMA / Ecstasy

Prescription Drugs

Residential Treatment

A 30 to 90 day stay in our 59-bed residence on North Waite Court. The daily rhythm is mindfulness-centered — morning and afternoon meditation sits are clinical touchpoints, not optional extras.

Family programming is woven into every week: weekly family therapy, biweekly multi-family workshops, and parent or partner coaching. Peer mentor pairing begins within 72 hours of admission and continues through discharge.

What's included: private and shared rooms, nutritionist-designed meals, access to the swimming pool, heated therapy pool, gymnasium, creative arts studio, and a 90-day alumni check-in cadence post-discharge.

Outpatient Program

Three outpatient tracks for Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, and the North Orange County corridor. PHP runs 5 days/week for 2–4 weeks. IOP runs 3 evenings/week for 8–12 weeks, built for shift workers. Standard outpatient continues weekly therapy and psychiatric medication management for 3–6 months after step-down.

Step-down between levels is based on clinical milestones and coordinated with your local primary care provider — the hospital-partner model continues through outpatient.

Dual Diagnosis

Integrated psychiatric and substance use care led by Dr. Babayemi, board-certified addiction psychiatrist. More than 60% of patients arriving at MDCR have a co-occurring condition — depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder — and our outcomes data shows treating them together substantially improves long-term sobriety.

Approach: integrated assessment in week one, single coordinated treatment plan, psychiatric medication managed by the same clinician who attends the family meeting, and discharge with named local psychiatric follow-up.
