About Palm Avenue Detox
Palm Avenue Detox offers a 24/7 detox program for adults who are struggling with substance use and may also have mental health conditions. Operating with a small 22-bed setting, the center provides a more hands-on experience, with individualized support and attention for each client. Palm Avenue Detox also aims to maintain a welcoming and secure environment for people of all backgrounds, including individuals in the LGBTQ community, as they start rebuilding their lives.
The program applies evidence-based approaches to support recovery, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods help clients work through the emotional and psychological drivers that contribute to addiction. In turn, participants can learn to interrupt destructive patterns, reduce relapse risk, and maintain momentum toward healing.
In addition, Palm Avenue Detox emphasizes withdrawal management and coordinates ongoing access to medical support when withdrawal medications or other health services are needed. Through partnerships with healthcare professionals throughout the county, the center helps clients stabilize safely during detox and strengthens the foundation for long-term recovery.
