LGBTQ Detox & Residential Treatment

Medically supervised detox and individualised care in an environment built on safety, dignity, and respect — for every resident.

Medical disclaimer
This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — including seizures, confusion, or high fever — call 911 immediately.

Believe Detox Center welcomes LGBTQ residents — and we extend the same medically supervised, individualised care we provide every person who comes through our doors.

Choosing to enter detox is a significant step. We work to make that step easier by maintaining an environment built on safety, dignity, and respect. Your identity is yours to share at your own pace; our responsibility is to provide the medical care, the environment, and the planning that supports your recovery.

What you receive

What Believe Detox Center provides

We are a DHCS-licensed residential detox facility serving adults 18 and older in the San Fernando Valley. Every resident receives:

24/7 monitoring

Medically supervised detox

First 72 hours: vitals every 30 minutes

24-hour monitoring and observation. In the first 72 hours following admission, every resident is physically checked at least every 30 minutes. Your safety during withdrawal is our first priority.

Mental health

Mental health screening at intake

Depression · anxiety · psychiatric history

Every resident completes a comprehensive health screening that includes a dedicated Mental/Emotional section — depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, history of psychiatric treatment. Anyone showing signs of a psychiatric condition is referred promptly to appropriate services.

With you, not for you

Individualized treatment planning

Built within 10 days · reviewed weekly

Within 10 days of admission, your counselor develops an individualized treatment plan with you, not for you. Built around your specific situation — relationships, employment, history, and goals for life after treatment. Reviewed and updated weekly.

Continuing care

Discharge & continuing care planning

Begins 7+ days before discharge

We begin planning for what comes after detox at least seven days before you leave. The plan includes specific referrals to services equipped to address your individual needs. You leave with a concrete next step — not just a handshake.

Foundation

Drug & alcohol-free environment

Throughout your stay
