Outpatient alcohol detox support through our PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs, with monitoring and therapy during program hours
Alcohol detox at Fortify Wellness is outpatient withdrawal support in Granada Hills, CA, delivered through our partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs for adults who are medically stable. Our staff provides monitoring and therapeutic support during program hours. We do not provide medical induction or inpatient detox, and we refer higher-risk withdrawal to a medical facility first.
Outpatient alcohol detox is appropriate only for people with mild, low-risk withdrawal who are medically stable and have support at home. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous, and in moderate-to-severe cases it can cause seizures or delirium tremens, which require 24-hour medical supervision. For anyone at that level of risk, we coordinate inpatient medical detox first, then continue your care through our outpatient programs once you are stable.
A few things determine whether outpatient detox is safe for you:
A confidential assessment determines the safe level of care for you. Call (818) 918-9564 to talk it through before starting.
Outpatient alcohol detox at Fortify Wellness is delivered through whichever program level fits your needs: PHP for the most structured daily support, IOP for several sessions a week, or our outpatient program for lighter support. Our staff monitors your withdrawal and provides therapeutic support during program hours.
During detox support you attend scheduled program hours where staff check on your symptoms, provide individual and group therapy, and help you manage cravings and early recovery. We do not start detox medications or run a medical taper in-house. When your withdrawal needs medical induction or supervised stabilization, we coordinate that with a trusted detox provider first, then you continue treatment with us. This keeps your care connected while making sure medical withdrawal happens in the right setting.
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms usually begin within 6 to 24 hours after the last drink and can range from mild to life-threatening. Mild symptoms include anxiety, shakiness, sweating, nausea, headache, and trouble sleeping. More serious withdrawal can include seizures and delirium tremens, a medical emergency that can develop within 48 to 72 hours and requires immediate medical care.
Because the severity is hard to predict, anyone with a heavy or long drinking history, or any past complicated withdrawal, should be medically evaluated before attempting detox. This is why we assess every person first and refer to inpatient medical detox when the risk warrants it.
Detox is the first step, not the whole treatment. After withdrawal, staying well depends on continuing into structured treatment for alcohol use. Fortify Wellness moves you directly from detox support into the right level of care: partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, or our outpatient program. Treatment uses cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and family support to address the patterns behind drinking and build relapse-prevention skills.
We accept most major insurance and verify your benefits before you commit to anything. Our admissions team confirms your coverage, explains what your plan covers, and walks you through next steps. Verification through our secure form usually takes about a day, and getting started begins with a confidential assessment to confirm the safe level of care for you.
If you do not have insurance, our admissions team can discuss private pay and payment options. Call (818) 918-9564 or verify your insurance.

Warning signs include seizures, confusion, hallucinations, fever, and a racing heart, which can signal delirium tremens. If you or someone with you shows these signs, call 911. These cases require inpatient medical detox, not outpatient care.
