Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services: Daniel Smeester, MD

Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services in San Ramon, California, provides addiction recovery services for adults. They also offer specialized care if you have a co-occurring addiction and mental illness.

They provide outpatient medical detox under the supervision of a qualified medical doctor. If you’re experiencing alcohol or opioid addiction, you might also qualify for medication assisted treatment using Suboxone.

Their outpatient programs offer a complete continuum of care, which means you can continue to live at home and work while also getting the robust support you need. You can engage in individual and group counseling and a range of holistic therapies, such as massage therapy. The goal, ultimately, is to help you find health and healing in body, mind, and spirit.

One thing that stands out to me is they have a separate doctor on site who specializes in pain management. She offers a full array of effective options to alleviate the discomfort of those braving the recovery process from drugs. This can help you with other related issues like sleeplessness or unexpected weight loss. Getting your appetite back can help you feel better mentally and physically.

I like that they also address the total perspective regarding reentering society after a battle with addiction, helping people get back out there and engage in life once again. They provide a convenient telephone appointment to plan for admission and to discuss payment options.

Prior patients said they really felt heard and validated by the doctors on staff during therapy.
