About Discovery House – Martinez
Discovery House is a part of Contra Costa Health Services, and functions as an alcohol and drug rehab center located in Martinez, California. Contra Costa’s Discovery House offers detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, general outpatient programs, and medication assisted treatment for young adults and adults. Specialized services are available for adolescents and justice involved clients. Services are available in English, Spanish, and other languages.
Detoxification provides stabilization for adult men and women with substance use disorder. Social detox takes place in an inpatient setting, where clients undergo counseling, peer support programs, and holistic therapy to reduce cravings and ease withdrawal pains. A case management team provides 24/7 to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. Detox generally takes 1 to 5 days.
Medication assisted treatment provides medications along with comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and behavioral counseling. FDA approved medications, including methadone, Suboxone, and buprenorphine, are used to support withdrawal from opioid drugs and to help maintain long term abstinence and discourage relapse. Licensed clinicians administer dosing and provide supervision during treatment.
Short term residential treatment is available for individuals who need a high level of support and accountability during the initial phase of their recovery. Mental, emotional, and physical stability is a primary focus. Once this is achieved, deeper inner work is started. This can include individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling, and addiction educational classes to address co-occurring mental and behavioral health disorders. Specific topics may include emotional regulation, anger management, trauma informed care, relapse prevention, and life skills classes such as financial stability, education, and workforce readiness.
After completing the inpatient program, clients participate in intensive outpatient care, which includes 19-30 hours per week of counseling, health education classes, and relapse prevention strategies. Clients receive peer support and develop daily healthy living routines outside of care.
The outpatient program provides greater flexibility and independence. Clients receive up to 9 hours or therapy per week as they reintegrate back into their communities.
The aftercare program consists of continual care and support. Clients may receive referrals to outside facilities for specialized programs.
Discovery House offers self pay and financing options. The center may be in network with insurance providers such as Aetna, Beacon, BlueCross/BlueShield, Cigna, Humana, and Optum. Please check your coverage as out of network benefits can vary.
