Safe, Supportive Outpatient
Detoxification for Lasting Recovery
Detox is the crucial first step in overcoming substance use disorder—and you deserve to start your recovery with safety, dignity, and expert care. At the San Diego Transformation Center, our Ambulatory Detoxification program provides medically supervised withdrawal management in a comfortable, outpatient setting, so you can begin your journey to sobriety without the disruption of inpatient hospitalization.
What Is Ambulatory Detoxification?
Ambulatory detox is a structured, outpatient detox program for individuals who require medical oversight during withdrawal but do not need 24-hour inpatient care. Our program is designed to ensure your safety and comfort while allowing you to maintain important life responsibilities and support systems at home.
