LegitScriptCertified
The first 24 hours, handled.
Getting in shouldn’t be the hard part. Here’s exactly how your first day works, because knowing what to expect is half the reason people finally pick up the phone.
One confidential call
You talk to a counselor who has done this before. Ten minutes, no pressure. We listen first, and next steps only happen if you want them.
Insurance, verified free
We check your benefits in a few minutes and explain what your plan covers. We handle the paperwork.
A clinical pre-assessment
Before you are admitted, a clinician goes through your history so the medical team is ready when you arrive.
You arrive. You rest.
A full medical assessment, taken slowly, and a private room waiting for you.
What to expect, hour by hour.
Most people are more afraid of the unknown than of the withdrawal itself. This is a typical day in residential, once you are stable.
Every day is structured around movement, clinical work, rest and real food, with time left over for a book, a conversation, or sitting outside.
Designed for comfort. Built for healing.
An 18,000 square foot luxury clinical campus with a maximum of 40 patients at a time. That cap is the reason your nurse knows your name and your history.
A three-phase recovery plan.
The team that treats you is the team that builds your plan, from the first assessment through discharge planning.
Evaluation
Your clinical team assesses your health, what you have been using and any co-occurring conditions. They build your treatment plan, then walk you through costs and check your insurance coverage.
Stabilization
Detox here is medically supervised and staffed 24/7, so a nurse sees you through the worst of it and a physician adjusts your medication as your symptoms change. As your strength comes back, you can join therapy and use the gym.
Aftercare
Your primary therapist and discharge coordinator build your aftercare plan before you leave, so you know what the months after detox look like.
Substance-specific, physician-directed.
Alcohol does not come off the same way opioids do. Each protocol here is written by a physician for the substance and for you.
Medically supervised withdrawal using symptom-triggered benzodiazepine tapering, guided by CIWA-Ar scoring. Thiamine, folate, and electrolyte support standard. Seizure and DT prevention protocol in place 24/7.
FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder, selected by the attending physician. COWS-guided dosing. Adjunct comfort meds for sleep, GI, and anxiety. Naltrexone induction for appropriate candidates.
Fentanyl’s long tissue half-life is managed with extended induction windows and micro-dosing protocols to avoid precipitated withdrawal. Vitals monitored continuously; naloxone on hand at every station.
Cross-tapered to a long-acting benzodiazepine (diazepam/clonazepam) and tapered slowly over days to weeks. Seizure precautions, adjunctive gabapentin, and daily clinical reassessment.
No FDA-approved detox medication exists for stimulants, so the work is supportive: sleep, nutrition, cardiac monitoring, and a psychiatric evaluation for the mood or ADHD conditions underneath the use.
Cardiac and psychiatric stabilization during the crash phase. Sleep restoration, hydration, and nutrition protocol. Close screening for stimulant-induced psychosis and ongoing psychiatric comorbidity.
For codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone and morphine, MOUD protocols that respect real pain, with a non-opioid pain plan after detox worked out with your prescribers.
Specialized taper or transition off maintenance medications when clinically indicated, managed slowly with full withdrawal symptom control.
Most patients come in with more than one substance. Our physicians layer the protocols above, sequence them safely, and co-manage with psychiatry the whole way through. Dual-diagnosis care is standard here.
Therapies that actually work.
We only use therapies with peer-reviewed evidence behind them in substance use disorder treatment.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Works on the thought patterns that drive substance use, with decades of peer-reviewed evidence behind it.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, particularly useful when trauma or a mood disorder sits underneath the use.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
Targeted trauma therapy for patients whose substance use traces to unresolved trauma. Led by certified EMDR clinicians.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
When clinically indicated, FDA-approved medications (including MOUD for opioid use disorder) reduce withdrawal and cravings safely.
Group Therapy
Structured peer sessions led by licensed clinicians, and the most researched part of addiction treatment.
Family Therapy
We work with your family on communication, on boundaries, and on how to support you without enabling.
The team that will treat you. Addiction medicine is all they do.
Our team includes doctors, nurses, and licensed clinicians who specialize in addiction treatment. Many have personal or family experience with recovery.
Most major plans accepted. Verify in under a minute.
Completely confidential, no obligation, and your information is protected under HIPAA. A member of our admissions team follows up personally.

I never thought in a million years that my brother would ever be alcohol-free. He said the people at Pines made him feel like his personal wellbeing was the only thing that mattered to them. His kids have a father. His mother has a son. I have my brother back.Eric G. · Family Member
All the staff at Pines Recovery Life went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and the facility was immaculate. It is the nicest facility I have been in… like a five-star hotel and a detox put into one.
My EMDR therapist Travis really helped me get through some of the darkness from my past. The nurses made sure all of my medication was delivered in a timely manner with a smile. The groups were well organized and very helpful.
Pines Recovery saved my life. They made my detox from alcohol as comfortable as possible. The staff was amazing and one of a kind. They gave me my life back and my family their son back.
