Withdrawal is the part people are most frightened of, and the part most often done alone. At Ona it is medically supervised around the clock, under ASAM clinical guidelines, with comfort medication and staff who have seen it before.
Independently certified for the highest national standards of quality and safety in behavioral health care.

Medically supervised detox
Medical detox is the supervised clearing of a substance from the body, with clinical staff monitoring the withdrawal as it happens. It usually takes a few days. It is the beginning of treatment, not the whole of it — but it is the part where medical supervision genuinely matters.
Withdrawal from alcohol and from benzodiazepines can be dangerous without medical cover, and withdrawal from opioids, while rarely life-threatening, is severe enough that most people who try it alone go back before it finishes. Supervision is not about comfort alone. It is about safety, and about getting to the other side at all.
Detox at Ona is medically supervised around the clock, following ASAM clinical guidelines, with comfort medications and caring staff — so you are never white-knuckling it alone. Whether detox is needed at all depends on the substance and your history, and that is a clinical judgement our medical team makes with you, not something to settle from a web page.
Who it helps. Anyone whose body has become physically dependent — daily drinking, opioids, benzodiazepines, or a combination. People who have tried to stop at home and could not get past day two. And people who are simply frightened, which is most people, and who would rather not do the frightening part on their own.
Detox leads directly into the rest of the work: residential treatment on 270 private acres, dual diagnosis care for what sits underneath, and medication-assisted treatment where it helps. Confidential admissions, 24/7: (530) 869-6163.
Detox is uncomfortable and it is finite. Knowing what is coming — and who is in the room while it happens — takes a surprising amount of the fear out of it.
Whether detox is needed, and what it should look like, depends on the substance, the amount, the length of use and your medical history. Our medical team assesses that properly on arrival rather than guessing at it in advance.
Substances, amounts, history, current prescriptions and physical health — before anything else begins.
Clinical staff present around the clock through the acute phase, watching for the complications that matter.
Withdrawal managed to recognised national criteria rather than to a house rule of thumb.
Prescribed to take the edge off the symptoms that make people give up and go home.
Proper meals from our chefs, a real bed and 270 acres of silence. The first day is deliberately gentle.
Detox hands over to residential treatment without a gap, which is where the change actually happens.
If you're reading this for yourself — or for someone you love — you already know how heavy this has become. What you may not know is how different life can feel just a few weeks from now.
Ona was built for the whole story: not only the substance, but the anxiety, depression and trauma beneath it. Our dual diagnosis program treats both together — gently, and at your pace — because lasting recovery demands it.
Every treatment plan at Ona is built around one person: you. Guided by ASAM clinical criteria and the evidence-based Living in Balance curriculum.
