About Palm Avenue Detox

Palm Avenue Detox provides a 24/7 detox program for adults dealing with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. With a small, 22-bed program, they offer bigger support by ensuring each client receives personalized attention and care, creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals from all walks of life, including the LGBTQ community, as they begin their recovery journey.
The center uses proven therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and Motivational Interviewing to guide clients through their recovery. These therapies address the psychological and emotional factors behind addiction, helping clients break free from harmful behaviors and stay motivated to continue healing.
Focusing on withdrawal management, the center ensures seamless access and connection to medical providers for clients requiring withdrawal medications or other medical services. By partnering with healthcare professionals across the county, Palm Avenue Detox offers comprehensive care that stabilizes clients safely and sets them up for long-term success in their recovery journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Palm Avenue Detox accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (650) 513-6500 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other CA centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Palm Avenue Detox offer?
Does Palm Avenue Detox have specialized programs?

Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at Palm Avenue Detox?
Call the facility directly at (650) 513-6500 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
