Drug and Alcohol Detox and Treatment in Long Beach
Detox is a residential program that offers 24/7 medical supervision. You’ll be made as comfortable as possible as you progress through the 10-14 day withdrawal process.
The detox and residential programs in beautiful Long Beach are within easy access to the beach. They’re less than three miles from the historic Queen Mary and other unique attractions, such as the Aquarium of the Pacific.
While undergoing detox, clients receive addiction education. Clients are introduced to the 12-step model of recovery through programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). After detox, most clients go to an inpatient facility such as the Flossie Lewis Center.
Private Setting for Residential Treatment
Notable amenities in the inpatient addiction treatment program include private client rooms. During treatment, clients focus on developing a support network near home to support them in recovery after graduating from the program.
You’ll also focus on exploring the issues that may lead to relapse if left unaddressed. These may include medical, legal, and social problems. Additionally, you’ll address psychiatric issues from co-occurring mental health challenges that contribute to substance use.
The BHS programs are comprehensive and offer programs to suit everyone’s needs. They welcome seniors, domestic abuse survivors, clients with HIV/AIDS, Veterans, chronically unhoused, and LGBTQ+ clients.
Levels of Care

Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
