Your questions, answered.
Frequently Asked Questions.
What is medical detox?
Medical detox is the process of safely clearing alcohol or drugs from your body under 24/7 physician and nursing supervision. Withdrawal symptoms are managed with comfort medications so the process is as safe and as comfortable as possible during the first days of recovery.
Is it safe to detox at home?
Detoxing at home can be dangerous, particularly with alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures and other serious medical complications that need immediate care. In a licensed facility, our medical team monitors you around the clock and can respond right away if symptoms escalate.
What substances do you provide detox for?
We provide medically supervised detox for alcohol, opioids, fentanyl, benzodiazepines, cocaine and crack, methamphetamine, and cannabis. If you are unsure whether your situation calls for medical detox, our admissions team can talk it through with you confidentially.
Is detox the same as rehab?
Rehab is a general term most people use for addiction treatment as a whole. It typically includes both detox and residential treatment rather than being a separate program. At 1st Choice Detox, care begins with medical detox to safely manage withdrawal, followed by residential treatment that addresses the underlying causes of substance use through therapy, structure, and support.
How quickly can I be admitted?
In many cases we can admit the same day, sometimes within a few hours of your first call, depending on bed availability and insurance verification. Our admissions line is staffed 24/7 at (844) 944-3139.
How long does detox and treatment take?
dDetox typically takes 5 to 10 days depending on the substance, how long it was used, and your medical history. Most clients then continue into residential treatment for the remainder of a roughly 30 day program. Your actual length of stay is determined by clinical assessment and your individual progress.
Does insurance cover detox?
Many PPO plans cover medical detox and residential treatment. We work with carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna. We do not accept HMO plans, Medicaid, or Medi-Cal. Insurance verification is free and confidential. Call (844) 944-3139 or submit our secure form, and we will review your benefits and explain any out of pocket costs before you commit to anything.
What if I don't have insurance?
We accept private pay. Call our admissions team at (844) 944-3139 for a quote based on the level of care you need. We will give you clear pricing up front so you can make an informed decision.
Do you treat co-occurring mental health conditions?
Yes. Many people entering detox are also managing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Our dual diagnosis care addresses substance use and mental health together, because treating only one often leaves the other unaddressed.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Your care and your records are protected under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, the stricter federal rule covering substance use treatment. We cannot share that you contacted us or received treatment without your written consent, including with employers or family members.
Can I keep my phone and stay in touch with family and work?
Yes. Treatment starts with a short blackout period so you can focus on stabilizing. Your care team decides how long based on where you are clinically, and your phone is returned to you right after. If you need a laptop for work or have other obligations to manage, tell our admissions team. We work with every client to accommodate what is going on in their life.
Can I still work or handle personal obligations during treatment?
We do our best to work with you. Many of our clients have jobs, families, or commitments they cannot simply walk away from. If you need laptop access, have work responsibilities, or have prior obligations to coordinate, let our admissions team know during your assessment and we will build a plan around it wherever it is clinically appropriate.
Where are you located and what areas do you serve?
We are located at 11651 Woodley Avenue, Granada Hills, CA 91344, in the San Fernando Valley. We serve clients from across Los Angeles County, including Northridge, Van Nuys, Burbank, Glendale, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, and Santa Clarita.
We Accept PPO Insurance With Out-of-Network Benefits
Cost should never be the reason someone waits to get help. Many PPO insurance plans include out-of-network behavioral health benefits, and those benefits can cover a meaningful portion of treatment at 1st Choice Detox Treatment Center.
We work with PPO plans including Aetna, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna as an out-of-network provider. Our team verifies your specific benefits for free, so you know your real costs before you commit to anything.
