Our alcohol treatment center in Palm Springs, California, offers you a safe space to heal and recover from the effects of alcohol use disorder (AUD). The comprehensive treatment programs at Desert Willow Wellness use evidence-based and complementary therapies to address the root causes of addiction. We tailor treatment plans to each client's unique needs to reduce the risk of relapse and improve treatment outcomes.

Exploring Comprehensive Alcohol Rehab Options in Palm Springs
Alcohol use disorder affects millions of individuals and families every year. Early intervention and treatment provide the best outcomes and reduce the risk of severe health complications during withdrawal. Many individuals with AUD have co-occurring mental health disorders or additional forms of substance use disorder (SUD). Treatment programs address all active conditions and the root causes of addictive behaviors using various therapeutic modalities. Psychotherapy, peer support, and prescription medications provide relief from the symptoms and side effects of AUD.
Addiction treatment at our rehab center uses various therapeutic modalities and support services to motivate clients to heal and grow. Some of the treatment options we offer include:
-
Group and individual counseling
-
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
-
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
-
Dual diagnosis treatment

Holistic therapies
Our addiction treatment programs address co-occurring substance abuse and mental health conditions through therapy, peer support, prescription medications, and other services. Behavioral health care helps you build new routines and develop healthy coping skills.
Why Choose Alcohol Rehab in Palm Springs?
Individuals living in and around the Palm Springs area can take advantage of our detoxification, inpatient, and outpatient treatment options. We treat AUD and other forms of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD). Our addiction treatment center prioritizes individualized care and a whole-person approach to rehabilitation. We ensure all clients have access to the support, resources, and tools they need to move forward in their recovery journey.
Understanding Different Levels of Care for Alcohol Addiction
Every level of care offers specific support services that address your needs and maintain accountability while gradually increasing independence. You will learn how to effectively manage symptoms and side effects of SUD and co-occurring conditions.
Detox
We use therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and other support services to help you manage withdrawal symptoms during detoxification. Individuals who have abused alcohol for an extended period of time may experience severe symptoms during withdrawal. Medical detox programs protect you from complications during withdrawal by reducing the severity of symptoms. Our recovery center offers comprehensive detox treatment that prepares you for the following stages of recovery.
Residential Treatment
We tailor our inpatient residential care to address the individual needs of each client. During residential treatment, you will have access to 24/7 medical support, regular therapy sessions, and community activities. The calm environment reduces exposure to triggers and encourages healing. Spending the majority of each day participating in comprehensive treatment sessions promotes positive change and reduces the risk of relapse.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Clients often step down from detox or residential care by transitioning to intensive outpatient programs. PHPs provide structure, accountability, and frequent treatment sessions throughout the week to ensure you maintain progress in recovery. You gradually gain independence as you learn more practical ways to manage AUD. Studies have shown that “[e]ffective treatment in a continuum of care includes ongoing, less intensive, and tapered contact with treatment systems, much as with other chronic health conditions.” Partial hospitalization programs ensure you feel confident in your ability to move forward in your healing journey.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders often benefit from intensive outpatient services once they complete higher levels of care. The additional support of IOP allows you to reintegrate into the local community while still participating in weekly group and individual therapy sessions. Our intensive outpatient program encourages you to practice self-accountability and self-care in real-world situations.
Outpatient Services
We tailor outpatient services to the specific needs of each client. You will have access to the best care through every stage of outpatient recovery. Over time, the clinical team gradually decreases your reliance on structured care to prepare you for aftercare.
Sober Living
Some individuals in outpatient programs or aftercare benefit from moving into transitional living homes. Our rehab facility offers sober living options for individuals who may benefit from having a safe, secure, and drug-free space to stay during treatment or continuing care. People often heal more quickly from the effects of alcohol and drug addiction if they have a strong support network of peers and mental health experts. Our sober living program ensures you have access to continued professional support, guidance from a house manager, and mutual support from peers who share your recovery goals.
Aftercare
Continuing care services support individuals who no longer require inpatient or outpatient care. According to Alcohol Research Current Reviews, “Continuing care is widely believed to be an important component of effective treatment for substance use disorder, particularly for those individuals with greater problem severity.”
Continuing care does the following:
-
Helps you maintain long-term abstinence
-
Connects you with local recovery resources
-
Addresses various recovery issues, including financial security and housing
-
Enables you to discover and engage in meaningful, enjoyable activities
Desert Willow Wellness offers aftercare and alumni services to individuals transitioning from inpatient or outpatient programs.

Focus on Long-Term Recovery and Relapse Prevention
All of our programs focus on long-term recovery and relapse prevention. Relapse is a symptom of the disease and not a moral failing. However, our programs can give people the support and guidance they need to avoid relapse and live a happier, healthier life.
Relapse prevention education often involves the following:
-
Identifying personal triggers, including stress, environmental factors, or relationship conflict
-
Developing healthy coping skills to encourage personal growth and healing
-
Practicing mindfulness exercises and self-awareness
-
Creating a detailed relapse prevention plan
-
Reinforcing commitment to recovery and long-term sobriety
Relapse prevention education also ensures you know how to spot the signs of mental and physical relapse.

We work with clients to help them determine if their insurance will pay for their full stay at our rehab facility or what portion of the stay they will cover. To learn more, you can call our office. We accept many insurance plans and work with families to determine the best path forward.

FAQs About Alcohol Rehab at Desert Willow Wellness
Below are some of the most commonly asked questions related to alcohol addiction and treatment.
How does Desert Willow Wellness create individualized treatment plans?
Our individualized treatment plans provide detailed, tailored recovery goals. We create care plans by collaborating with clients and their loved ones. We also use the information gathered during the detailed intake interview to determine the best possible approaches to client care. Everyone participating in our treatment programs plays an active role in creating their care plan. We work with clients instead of telling them what they need to do in order to heal from the effects of substance abuse. Our dedicated care team provides context and information about all treatment options, allowing you to make an informed decision about your care.
What role does group therapy play in alcohol rehab programs?
Group therapy allows you to engage with peers who share similar life experiences. The group sessions offer insights, motivation, inspiration, and accountability. Many individuals with AUD feel alienated from family members, friends, and peers. Group therapy allows you to develop positive social connections that support healing and ongoing sobriety.
Is family therapy a part of your treatment approach for alcoholism?
Alcohol dependency often starts gradually and, over time, develops into AUD. Family members feel the ripple effects of alcohol dependence and addiction. We offer family therapy and other support services to help you and your loved ones heal from the damaging effects of alcohol abuse. Family therapy allows loved ones to heal and move forward together.
Improving communication is one of the primary goals of family therapy. Our therapists and counselors have the training necessary to help families identify and overcome barriers in communication. You and your loved ones will learn to establish and maintain personal boundaries and communicate clearly. We encourage people in rehab to use family therapy to prepare for the transition to aftercare.
How do you address co-occurring disorders during alcohol rehab?
Many individuals seeking treatment for AUD have co-occurring mental health disorders affecting their quality of life and ability to engage with the care team. We address these conditions using a combination of holistic and evidence-based therapeutic modalities. Some people with mental health issues may also benefit from prescription medications to reduce the severity of symptoms. Our treatment plans consider these factors to ensure you receive the level of support you need to recover from substance abuse.
Can you help me understand my health insurance options for alcohol rehab?
Some health insurance plans only cover certain parts of alcohol rehab treatment. Our intake specialists can help you determine what aspects of treatment your current insurance plan covers. We understand it can be confusing to navigate insurance coverage, and some insurance providers may give contradictory or unhelpful information about what they cover. Desert Willow Wellness can help you understand your health insurance options.
