Wellness Retreat Recovery Center

They provide inpatient residential, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Scotts Valley is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They provide detox for 5 substances: opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Los Gatos has 8 other centers.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Scotts Valley, Aptos and Santa Cruz.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Los Gatos often still has to be in person.

Los Gatos has 17 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Los Gatos has 8 other centers to try.

Most residential programs are built around 30 days, which is a billing convention more than a clinical finding. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. If you want someone kept informed, sign the release early rather than during a crisis.
