Detoxification
Discover an effective approach to healing and mental health support.
A detox plan ADDRESSING YOUR NEEDS
Attempting to detox alone is dangerous. If you or a loved one needs help – don’t wait. Call 1 (800) 270-1389 or send us a message now.
1 Method Center is state-licensed and includes Incidental Medical Services (IMS). We design treatment plans for every phase of care, including detox. Our doctors are board-certified in Addiction Medicine – signifying excellence in the practice and treatment of substance misuse. Collectively, they have decades of experience managing alcohol, drug, and prescription medication addiction and withdrawal. Their knowledge and skills provide prevention, screening, intervention, and treatment related to substance use disorders and addiction ranging from alcohol and over-the-counter drugs to illicit drugs and prescription medications.
1 Method is a MAT approved facility. MAT stands for “Medically Assisted Treatment”. Medically Assisted Treatment combines therapy with medications Naltrexone or Buprenorphine to treat substance use disorders. The FDA has approved several different medications to treat opioid addiction and alcohol dependence. A common misconception associated with MAT is that it substitutes one drug for another. Instead, these medications relieve the withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings that cause chemical imbalances in the body. Our doctors are certified to prescribe Suboxone and will approve short-term MAT when clinically appropriate.
1 Method Center provides a serene environment that is calm, private, and personal, in a homelike setting that is entirely different than that of a busy hospital or bustling rehab center. If co-occurring issues are present (e.g. anxiety, trauma, or sleep disturbances), our doctors and staff of highly trained therapists can treat them as well in concert with your detoxification.
You can beat your addiction for good.

Program Overview
When alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications are used (or misused) for a period of time, dangerous toxins can build up in your system. Detoxification works to gently eliminate these harmful toxins and free you from physical dependencies. Methods we employ include Tapering, Replacement and Combination. We are in the process of becoming a MAT friendly program. Our goal is to prevent any unnecessary suffering in your detoxification process. We offer a range of clinical services including: 1-on-1 therapy, group therapy, drug and alcohol counseling, initial psychiatric evaluation with a psychiatrist, and in-depth clinical assessments with your primary therapist. However, detox can be done independently without the need to sign up for additional residential treatment. In case of an emergency, we’re just minutes from UCLA and Cedars-Sinai. And we’re always here for you – anytime, day or night.
Remember: attempting to detox alone is dangerous. If you or a loved one needs help – don’t wait. Call 1 (800) 270-1389 or send us a message.
Strategies for Detoxification
Addiction varies greatly from person to person and we understand that on a personal level. Therefore, we take an individual approach to every detox by creating a 1-on-1 program that best suits your needs. Here are some of the medical strategies we’ve found to be effective:
Tapering – Refers to implementing a gradual dosage reduction over a period of time. One taper style may work more effectively or be better suited than another for your personal situation. But each allows the system to slowly adjust to the absence of the medication/drug of use or misuse. We use the following methods of tapering: Direct and Substitution. The goal of each is two-fold:
decrease or eliminate withdrawal symptoms.
diminish and reduce drug cravings as much as possible.
Direct Tapering
The most straightforward type of taper. It involves slowly reducing the amount of the drug taken over a period of time. Often, this is done on a weekly basis, with the substance reduced by a certain amount every seven days until complete discontinuation.
Substitution Tapering
The drug of use/misuse is replaced with a similar but more easily tapered drug to better manage symptoms, as explained by The Ashton Manual. This can make it easier to avoid any adverse or severe reactions to withdrawal.
Replacement – A provisional method used to counter intense drug cravings, in particular if relapse or treatment discontinuance seems likely. Replacement incorporates the administration of a prescribed medication that has less euphoric but longer-acting properties than the dangerous drug of abuse.
Combination – This is a strategy that concurrently combines the application of two or more detox protocols. This approach is highly effective for complex withdrawal scenarios.
MAT – Medication-Assisted Treatment combines therapy with medications (e.g. Naltrexone or Buprenorphine) to treat substance use disorders. The FDA has approved several different medications to treat opioid addiction and alcohol dependence. A common misconception associated with MAT is that it substitutes one drug for another. Instead, these medications relieve the withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings that cause chemical imbalances in the body.

The 1 Method Difference
Detox can be easily integrated with our other program options.
The purpose of our medical detoxification program is to provide you with a safe and comfortable withdrawal from alcohol, drugs, and/or prescription medications. But this is the beginning, not the end. Detox should almost always be followed by residential treatment.
We have found that both programs and the levels of care they offer independently are critical to achieving freedom from addiction. The detox process addresses the physical symptoms of chemical dependency, while residential treatment addresses the emotional and behavioral roots of the addiction, so you can discover healthy coping skills for preventing relapse and achieving a life that is free of addiction. Our programs address and are designed to fit your needs. At 1 Method Center, treatment is holistic and focuses on healing the body, mind, and spirit through evidence-based therapies and our beneficial health and fitness program.
