Specialized Care for a Wide Range of Substance Use Disorders in Palo Alto
Our rehab center in Palo Alto possesses specialized expertise in treating a comprehensive spectrum of substance use disorders, ensuring targeted, highly effective, and compassionate care for each specific challenge presented, often encountered in diverse and demanding professional environments.
- Alcohol Addiction: We provide evidence-based therapies and robust medical support for overcoming both the complex physical and psychological dependencies associated with alcohol addiction. Our programs meticulously address craving management, behavioral patterns, and the underlying reasons driving alcohol use, fostering a path to sustained sobriety.

Our specialized programs offer targeted therapeutic support and practical strategies for overcoming this dependency, managing potential withdrawal symptoms, and building a fulfilling, cannabis-free lifestyle.

- Cocaine & Methamphetamine Addiction: For stimulant use disorders, we implement highly targeted behavioral therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and provide comprehensive support to manage intense cravings, address often co-occurring mental health issues like depression and anxiety, and build sustainable, resilient recovery strategies from cocaine and methamphetamine use, empowering clients to regain focus and drive.

Annandale helped change my life. The clinical programming helped me tremendously and the house felt like a home. The environment was safe and comfortable. My life has improved significantly and the internal awareness I've gained has followed me into my work, my fellowship, and my marriage. I cannot thank the staff enough for helping me get back on my feet. I will recommend this facility to anyone that comes to me for help.
Darryl and Remy are both incredible and run a tight program that is highly ethical. Changed my life!
Be wary of one star reviews for treatment centers. There are some vindictive, bitter, angry clients who will blame anyone but themselves; and treatment centers and their staff tend to be a go-to target for abuse and retaliation.
In short, Annandale worked for me.
Short story made long: Like any treatment center, you will get out what you put in though. But a good treatment center will give you all the tools, support and understanding you need. And that is what Annandale provides: a structure and foundation for your success, which you build on once you leave.
All the various treatment center bells, whistles and accoutrements don’t matter without a good staff/therapists on hand to guide and support. Luckily, Annandale has both.
The program itself focuses not only on getting sober/maintaining sobriety, but also on modifying negative thought patterns and the troublesome behavior that arises as a result. They know that you must focus on the problem itself, not just the symptoms, in order to recover. Drinking is a symptom of a deeper rooted issue.
They also offer some unique elements to the program, such as equine therapy and soundbaths. I scoffed initially, but kept an open mind. And guess what? It was a great help. Other groups/activities included yoga, meditation, mindfulness walks, nature walks, art, gardening, etc. They take you to 12 step recovery meetings, but Annandale itself is non-denominational as far as I could gather. Which is a plus in my book.
Great location in Pasadena. Right up the street from the Rose Bowl, where you’ll take walks some days. Other walks go a block or two in the other direction and offer absolutely breathtaking panoramic views of the Rose Bowl, Pasadana and its environs, mountain ranges etc. It’s truly a sight to behold.
The house and its campus are extremely serene and quiet. The house is comfortable, a comfy “home” vibe with people that genuinely care. A special feeling to it. Doesn’t feel like some “facility”.
Private bedrooms with their own flat screen TVs. Almost all have their own private bathroom. You get to place takeout lunch and dinner choices (with a mind towards healthy options from some great restaurants) on the iPad every day (which is included with your stay).
But more than anything, it is the staff that makes or breaks the place. Darryl is the owner and possibly the first person you’ll speak to. a very kind, caring, genuine, astute and just cool guy. Very helpful and personable. I was in a bad way when I initially called and Darryl was an immeasurable help in easing my concerns and providing comfort in a very distressful time in my life. Remy, the on-site nurse, is extremely attentive and understanding. Dr Coe is one of the most brilliant doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with—the guy pulled things out that shocked me, things that no doctor-therapist/psychiatrist has been able to reach or decipher in all my years. He gave me a true, unbridled diagnosis of where my issues stemmed from. My wife of 20 years co-signed what he said with a very troubling passion (haha). Said he was spot-on, and he was.
Roxanne is one of the kindest and most lovely people I’ve ever met. The most gentle eyes, emphatic tone — a truly calming presence who offered me immeasurable support so thank you 🙏. Jordan was relatable, friendly and easy to talk to. Very intelligent and understanding of how addiction and sobriety work. Kevin, one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Michael, who became a genuine friend and somebody I could always talk to — and was always willing to listen.
Becky, Carrie, Xenia, Alex, Chris and I know I’m missing a few, but really, everyone was great and offered their own unique approach/personality. This place quite literally saved my life. I was on death’s door and couldn’t even walk in my own when I went in. And walked out a “new’ man.

I love this place. I had to check my niece in 2 years ago. It was a difficult time for our family. Remy explained everything step by step and reassured us she will be in good hands. Like most family, this is our first time having to figure things out. The Facility and staff were very sweet and knowledgeable. The place is like a sanctuary. Peaceful, well thought out and comfortable. We are forever thankful what they have done for us, and appreciate everyone on the team.
Remy Olivier is wonderful. She is the Program Director at Annandale. She is caring, conscientious and so knowledgeable. She makes multiple arrangements and was always available to assist with anything that came up. Remy is an RN who has worked in behavioral health for many years and uses her nursing skills and knowledge of addition when dealing with patients. I can’t say enough nice things about her.
Annandale is owned and operated by Remy and her husband Darryl, who has also been working in the field for 30 years. You can expect outstanding clinical care in a program that is family owned.

Fantastic Rehab with intelligent, compassionate, and knowledgeable staff. This is easily the best facility in all of Los Angeles. Remy is the kindest and most supportive person I have ever met.
First class medical detox - the level of experience, compassion and care is unmatched. They are a hands-on, genuine team who truly treats their clients like their own family. Brendan and Remy have been a pleasure to work with. I would send my own family members to Elevate Wellness Center.
Elevate is a wonderful place. Treatment is tailored to each individual and the staff is absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend this place for residential treatment. It is an incredibly calming and motivating environment to recover in.

1. Safe & Medically Supervised Detox in Palo Alto

Our detox program in Palo Alto provides 24/7 medical oversight within a comfortable and supportive environment. Our expert medical team ensures that withdrawal symptoms are managed safely and effectively, minimizing discomfort and preventing complications. This crucial phase lays a stable and secure foundation for the intensive therapeutic work that follows at our Palo Alto rehab center, prioritizing your immediate well-being.

Key Features of Annandale’s Inpatient Rehab in Palo Alto:
- 24/7 Medical & Clinical Supervision: Our dedicated team provides continuous, vigilant monitoring, ensuring both your physical safety during detox and your ongoing mental and emotional well-being throughout the entire recovery process. This is especially vital when managing severe withdrawal or complex co-occurring conditions, common in high-stress populations.
- Comprehensive Therapeutic Immersion: Clients engage in a robust daily schedule of intensive one-to-one therapy sessions, dynamic group psychotherapy, and essential family therapy. These sessions are meticulously designed to uncover and address the underlying psychological, emotional, and systemic roots of addiction, fostering deep personal insight and facilitating family healing in a confidential setting.
- Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment: A foundational element of our Palo Alto drug rehab approach is the integrated, simultaneous management of co-occurring mental health disorders. We specialize in treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, recognizing that addressing both addiction and underlying mental health challenges in tandem is paramount for achieving sustainable and holistic recovery, particularly in a region where these conditions can be pronounced. Our expert clinicians are adept at addressing this complex interplay with precision.
- Secure & Confidential Environment: Our facility provides a truly safe, private, and highly confidential space, shielding clients from external scrutiny and fostering a deep sense of trust, community, and shared purpose among residents. This discretion is a hallmark of our Palo Alto rehab center.
Our inpatient program in Palo Alto is meticulously designed to provide not only the foundational skills for sobriety but also the profound emotional and psychological support essential for deep, sustained, and transformative recovery, preparing clients for a return to demanding personal and professional lives.
3. Substance Abuse Treatment & Stabilization: Building Foundational Strength
Following successful detox, our dedicated Substance Abuse Treatment and Stabilization program at our Palo Alto drug rehab center offers an essential bridge to deeper therapeutic work. This critical program focuses on thoroughly stabilizing clients emotionally and physically, equipping them with initial coping mechanisms, and meticulously preparing them for the comprehensive therapeutic journey that follows. It’s a vital, focused step in transitioning from acute withdrawal to active, engaged participation in long-term recovery strategies.
4. Post-Treatment Support (Aftercare Program): Sustaining Your Recovery & Re-integration
Recovery is a continuous journey that extends beyond initial residential treatment. Our Post-Treatment Support program, also known as our Aftercare Program, provides advanced, high-level, and flexible continued care. This program is designed for individuals who have completed initial residential treatment or who require a more robust and structured aftercare plan than traditional outpatient settings, particularly those returning to high-pressure professional or academic environments.

5. Flexible Outpatient Rehab: Integrating Recovery into a Dynamic Life

Specialized Therapeutic Approaches at Annandale’s Palo Alto Rehab
At Annandale Behavioral Healthcare, your recovery journey is profoundly enriched by a diverse and cutting-edge array of evidence-based and holistic therapies, all delivered by highly skilled, compassionate, and specialized professionals within our discreet Palo Alto rehab center. Our therapeutic modalities are chosen for their efficacy in fostering resilience, emotional intelligence, and sustainable well-being, particularly relevant for the discerning individual.
Personalized One-to-One Therapy for Deep, Individualized Healing
At the very core of truly effective addiction treatment is highly personalized attention. Our one-to-one therapy sessions provide a confidential, safe, and deeply supportive space where you can work directly and intimately with a dedicated primary therapist. These tailored, one-on-one sessions allow for profound exploration of the unique root causes of your addiction, the development of individualized and effective coping strategies, and the careful processing of personal experiences and underlying issues, ensuring your specific and evolving needs are met with precision and discretion, particularly crucial in the privacy-conscious Palo Alto environment.
The Power of Shared Experience: Group Psychotherapy
The strength and transformative power of shared experience are invaluable in the journey of addiction recovery. Our group psychotherapy sessions offer a safe, expertly facilitated environment where clients connect authentically with peers who are facing similar challenges. In this supportive collective, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, have the opportunity to both offer and receive invaluable support, develop crucial communication and interpersonal skills, and realize profoundly that you are never alone on this challenging yet rewarding path, fostering a strong, understanding recovery community within our Palo Alto rehab.
Healing Through Creative Expression: Art and Music Therapy
Recovery is not solely about addressing past trauma; it’s also profoundly about rediscovering self and opening new, healthy avenues for emotional expression. Our Art and Music Therapy provides a unique, non-verbal outlet for emotional processing, stress reduction, and deep self-discovery. Engaging with various creative art forms and musical expressions, facilitated by experienced therapists, can unlock profound insights, release buried emotions, and foster healing in ways that complement and extend beyond traditional talk therapy, appealing to the innovative and expressive spirit of the Palo Alto community.
Building Resilient Skills with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapeutic modality that rigorously equips clients with essential, practical life skills. These skills are vital for navigating and managing intense emotions, significantly improving interpersonal relationships, enhancing distress tolerance, and cultivating deep mindfulness. Within our Palo Alto drug and alcohol rehab, DBT is seamlessly integrated to empower individuals with concrete, actionable tools for emotional regulation, crisis management, and developing healthier, more adaptive responses to life’s inevitable challenges, providing robust coping mechanisms for high-pressure environments.
Addressing the Impact of Trauma with Trauma-Informed Therapy
We fundamentally understand that unresolved trauma often lies at the profound heart of substance abuse and co-occurring mental health conditions. Our trauma-informed therapy approach ensures that all aspects of care are deeply sensitive to the pervasive presence of trauma and are meticulously designed to create a safe, stable, and truly supportive environment where deep, authentic healing can occur. Specialized therapeutic techniques are thoughtfully employed to help clients gently process traumatic experiences without re-traumatization, fostering resilience, empowerment, and paving the way for sustainable, long-term recovery for individuals from all backgrounds seeking care in Palo Alto.
Comprehensive Medical Treatment for Integrated Health & Wellness
At Annandale Behavioral Healthcare, your physical health and safety are absolutely paramount. Our medical treatment approach includes thorough initial assessments, ongoing vigilant monitoring by our medical team, and, when clinically appropriate, the strategic use of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). MAT is utilized to support safe detoxification, significantly reduce cravings, and manage co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. Our dedicated medical team works in close, seamless collaboration with our therapists to ensure an integrated, holistic, and truly comprehensive approach to your overall well-being throughout your time at our Palo Alto rehab center, reflecting the high standards of medical care in the region.
