From medically supervised detoxification to intensive therapeutic interventions, we are committed to addressing the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of alcohol dependence.
Our approach emphasizes treating the whole person, not just the addiction. Our San Diego-based alcohol rehab program incorporates individual counseling, group therapy, family support services, and holistic methods tailored to meet the unique needs and challenges of each client. At Coastal Detox, we believe that recovery is not just about abstinence, but about building the necessary coping skills, resilience, and personal growth to sustain a fulfilling life free from alcohol.

Seeking professional help through a dedicated alcohol rehab facility is the most effective and safest route to overcoming alcohol use disorder (AUD). While the desire to quit is the first step, addiction is a chronic disease that fundamentally changes brain chemistry, making self-management extraordinarily difficult and often dangerous. The alcohol rehab program at Coastal Detox is an inpatient, residential program located in Pacific Beach, San Diego, that specializes in:
Understanding the significant health consequences associated with prolonged, heavy alcohol consumption is often a critical motivator for seeking treatment. Alcohol severely impacts nearly every system in the body, leading to chronic and potentially fatal conditions. The team at Coastal Detox educates patients on these risks, reinforcing the importance of sustained sobriety.
Choosing the right treatment program is an important step in the journey toward recovery. The residential facility at Coastal Detox offers more than a scenic location. Our staff is fully licensed and accredited to provide the highest standard of medical care, ensuring you or your loved one is safe, respected, and well cared for throughout this difficult journey.
The first step in alcohol treatment is medically supervised detox to safely manage withdrawal symptoms. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening, with severe cases leading to seizures or delirium tremens (DTs). Our detox program provides:
MAT combines FDA-approved medications with evidence-based therapies to manage cravings and prevent relapse. Medications used include:
Many individuals struggling with alcohol and drug addiction also suffer from co-occurring mental health disorders that, when unmanaged, can contribute to addictive behaviors. Our dual diagnosis treatment program helps patients simultaneously treat:
One-on-one mental health treatment helps individuals uncover the root causes of alcohol addiction and develop healthy coping strategies. Therapy options include:
Group therapy fosters community, accountability, and healing. Groups feature a structured discussion model, with dedicated time for each member to participate. Under a therapist’s guidance, group therapy can have many lasting benefits, including:
Because addiction is such an all-consuming disease, a successful rehab program must focus on treating the whole patient — body, mind, and spirit. At Coastal Detox, our alcohol rehab incorporates holistic practices, including:
Coastal Detox integrates both 12-Step and non-12-Step methodologies to provide a balanced and effective path to recovery. While the traditional 12-Step model offers a valuable framework of peer support, spiritual growth, and accountability, we also incorporate secular alternatives such as SMART Recovery to ensure that every patient can engage with a recovery philosophy that resonates deeply with their personal beliefs and needs.
The transition back to daily life requires careful preparation. Our program includes aftercare planning, relapse prevention, and life skills development. This includes nutrition and wellness, emotional regulation skills, and plans for reintegrating with job, school, and family obligations. Each patient receives a custom aftercare referral plan to transition to sober living, outpatient treatment, or other continuing care.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD), commonly referred to as alcohol addiction, is a complex, chronic brain disease characterized by an inability to stop or control alcohol use despite negative social, occupational, or health consequences. Many people want to stop drinking, but simply find themselves unable to do so, or they experience significant withdrawal symptoms when they do. AUD is a progressive condition that involves fundamental changes in brain pathways, leading to physical dependence and intense cravings. Recognizing AUD as a debilitating disease—rather than a moral failing—is the foundational step toward effective treatment and recovery.
The diagnosis of AUD, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), is based on meeting these criteria over 12-months.
The most effective alcohol addiction treatment programs recognize that recovery is a process, not a singular event, and therefore follow what is called a “continuum of care.” Rather than determining whether inpatient or outpatient is right for you, most first-time patients should expect to step from detox to inpatient, then from inpatient to outpatient, and from outpatient to long-term relapse prevention. This phased, ongoing approach builds a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Coastal Detox provides customized treatment plans to match each individual’s unique medical needs during detox and residential care, followed by referral to one of our preferred partners for outpatient and aftercare.
