8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in San Diego.

Both get treated together at the programs that do this properly, by one team. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.

Residential care is a bed and a program. Outpatient care is a schedule of appointments. Withdrawal from alcohol or from benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous, which pushes the choice toward supervised care. Ask which level they would put a family member in, and why that one.
