Outpatient Medical Detox
in Woodland Hills, CA.
Medically supervised ambulatory withdrawal management for adults who can safely detox without 24-hour care.
What it is
What is Outpatient Medical Detox?
Outpatient detox is medically supervised withdrawal management delivered without overnight stays. Clients come to the clinic daily for medical monitoring, medication-assisted treatment, and clinical support — then return home each evening with a clear care plan.
This level of care is only appropriate for clients who are medically stable enough to detox safely outside of a 24-hour setting. We'll evaluate clinical appropriateness during intake — and if you need a higher level of care, we'll help you get there.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
- How long does outpatient detox last?
- The acute phase is typically 5 to 10 days, depending on the substance and your medical profile. Aftercare planning starts on day one.
- Is outpatient detox right for me?
- We'll determine clinical appropriateness during intake. If outpatient detox isn't safe for you, we'll help you find the right setting.
- Will I be on medications?
- Often yes — medication-assisted treatment is a clinical standard for many substance use disorders. We'll explain options at intake.
- What happens after detox?
- Detox is the start, not the end. Most clients step into PHP or IOP immediately afterward to build the recovery skills detox alone can't provide.
- Will my insurance cover outpatient detox?
- Most major commercial insurers cover outpatient detox. Verify your benefits in 60 seconds.
