Detoxification is the critical first step in addiction recovery. Attempting to stop using substances without medical supervision can be dangerous and even life-threatening. At MHAT Treatment, our board-certified physicians and registered nurses provide round-the-clock care using evidence-based medical protocols and medication-assisted treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
Upon arrival at our facility, our medical team conducts a thorough evaluation including physical examination, substance use history, and mental health screening to develop your individualized detox plan.
Our physicians administer medications as needed to manage withdrawal symptoms, monitor vital signs continuously, and provide comfort measures throughout the detox process.
As withdrawal symptoms subside, our clinical team prepares you for the next phase of treatment — whether residential, PHP, or IOP — ensuring a seamless transition within our facility.
Residential treatment at MHAT Treatment lasts 30 to 90 days, providing an immersive, structured environment where patients live at our San Marcos facility and receive intensive daily therapy. This level of care is ideal for individuals who need a stable, substance-free environment to focus entirely on their recovery.
During residential treatment, patients participate in a comprehensive daily schedule that includes individual therapy, group counseling sessions, family therapy, holistic activities such as yoga and meditation, and recreational time. Our on-site clinical team works closely with each patient to address the underlying causes of addiction while building practical coping skills for long-term sobriety.
