Withdrawal can be uncomfortable and unpredictable. Our clinical team monitors symptoms around the clock and uses evidence-based support to help you begin safely.

Admissions & Clinical Care
24/7 intensive care for a more stable first week.
At New Leaf Detox, our 24/7 intensive care begins with medically supervised detox to help patients safely manage withdrawal symptoms. Our experienced medical team provides around-the-clock monitoring and medication-assisted treatment when needed to ensure a safe and comfortable start to recovery.
After detox, clients enter our residential treatment program with evidence-based therapies and individualized care plans - whether you're facing alcohol addiction, drug dependency, or co-occurring mental health issues.
Residential comfort
A polished, home-like environment where you can step away from daily pressure and focus on stabilization.
24/7 monitoring
Clinical support is available day and night to help manage symptoms, sleep, cravings, and safety concerns.
Whole-person support
Therapy, case planning, and compassionate guidance help you prepare for what comes after detox.
Discreet admissions
Your call and form submission are confidential. We can help you understand options without pressure.
Levels of care
Care that meets the moment, then plans the next step.
Recovery is rarely a single step. New Leaf offers a clear continuum - medically supervised detox first, then residential care and dual diagnosis support when you are ready to go deeper.
Medical Detox
Typically 3-9 days
Detox is often the first step. The process typically lasts 3 to 9 days depending on the substance, health factors, and withdrawal history. Our goal is to make that step as safe and comfortable as possible.
Residential Rehab & Inpatient Treatment
Continuum of care
After detox, clients can continue into structured residential care with therapy, recovery skills, peer support, and a steady daily rhythm away from triggers. Our residential rehab in Orange County offers 24/7 structure, individual and group therapy, and a safe distance from triggers — the inpatient treatment many people need after detox.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Co-occurring care
Many people use substances to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health symptoms. We help identify and support the underlying issues that can make recovery harder alone.

Tailored, evidence-based treatments
Addiction therapy designed around your recovery.
Our clinical team builds a personalized plan from your first day in detox — blending proven clinical methods with holistic support. No two people recover the same way.
Clinical Modalities
4 approachesEvidence-Based Therapy
Every clinical protocol at New Leaf is grounded in peer-reviewed research. We use interventions with proven efficacy for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
Psychotherapy
One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist help clients understand the root causes of their addiction, process difficult emotions, and build a foundation for lasting change.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps clients recognize the thought patterns and triggers that drive substance use - and replace them with healthier responses. It is one of the most widely researched tools in addiction treatment.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
FDA-approved medications can significantly reduce withdrawal discomfort, curb cravings, and lower the risk of relapse. Our medical team evaluates each client's history to determine what is appropriate.
Holistic & Integrative
4 approachesHolistic Treatment
Clinical care alone is not always enough. Breathwork, relaxation techniques, and somatic support help address the physical and emotional toll of withdrawal alongside evidence-based protocols.
Yoga & Mindful Movement
Daily movement and guided stretching sessions help regulate the nervous system, ease anxiety, and gently reconnect clients with their bodies during one of the most disorienting experiences of recovery.
Trauma-Informed Care
Unresolved trauma and addiction are closely linked. Our clinical team is trained to recognize trauma responses and provide care grounded in safety, dignity, and personal choice at every step.
Sleep & Stress Recovery
Detox and early recovery severely disrupt sleep and cortisol regulation. We use structured rest protocols, relaxation therapy, and nutritional support to restore the body's natural rhythms.
Addictions We Treat
We treat the full spectrum of substance dependence.
Every substance creates a different withdrawal profile. Some are medically dangerous. Others are deeply uncomfortable but manageable. Our team knows the difference and tailors your detox protocol accordingly.
Alcohol
Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening, including risk of seizures and delirium tremens. Continuous medical monitoring and medication support are essential - this is not a detox to attempt alone.
Heroin & Opioids
Opioid withdrawal is intensely uncomfortable but rarely life-threatening — including fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. Medications like Suboxone can dramatically ease symptoms. Our team determines the right protocol based on your history and health.
Cocaine & Stimulants
Stimulant detox often involves a crash phase marked by deep fatigue, depression, and powerful cravings. We provide nutritional support, sleep management, and mood stabilization throughout.
Marijuana
Cannabis withdrawal is real, especially after long-term heavy use. Anxiety, insomnia, and irritability are common. We provide clinical and holistic support to ease the transition.
Prescription Drugs
Prescription drug dependency - including painkillers, sedatives, and stimulants - requires individualized protocols. We tailor the detox approach to the specific drug, dosage, and duration of use.
Methadone & Opioid Maintenance
Whether you need help stepping down from methadone or transitioning off opioid maintenance medications, our medical team designs a supervised taper and detox plan based on your dose, duration of use, and health history.
Benzodiazepines
Benzo withdrawal is among the most dangerous of any substance. Abrupt cessation can trigger life-threatening seizures. Our team uses a slow, closely supervised taper to protect your safety.

Is detox covered by insurance?
