Specialty A
Rapid detox under anesthesia. The patient remains in a private ICU room sleeping under anesthesia while our quadruple board-certified medical director, Michael H. Lowenstein, M.D., uses antagonist medications to induce and speed the acute withdrawal. The procedure lasts less than two hours, the patient wakes up shortly after and has already received medication to prevent physical cravings. The patient remains in ICU receiving IV medications, fluids, and vitamins while the team manages vitals throughout that day and overnight. Aftercare is then provided at a specialized retreat for a few days during the regulation period to maximize detox success.
Specialty B
Medically assisted detoxification. The patient stays in a private room for one to three days, depending on their individual needs, while receiving high levels of medication to blunt the withdrawal syndrome. The patient receives sedatives but is not put under anesthesia. This minimizes the horrible withdrawal symptoms associated with detox and maximizes comfort and safety. They also receive IV medications, fluids and vitamins while the team manages vitals. Aftercare is also provided at a specialized retreat for a few days during the process.
Specialty C
Aftercare services provided by Domus Retreat®. A private facility for our patients to receive continued care, around the clock support and services to successfully complete their treatment. This gives the patient the ability to recover without placing the burden of care on a family member or friend. Patients receive individual psychotherapy. This level of one-on-one attention ensures the assessment of unique emotional issues. It also enables our therapist and Clinical Director of Domus Retreat, David B. Livingston, LMFT, to suggest and guide each individual through the process of seeking further psychological or psychiatric care, when needed. Other services include massage, yoga, and counseling to support their emotional and physical transition to an opiate free life.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
As someone who has struggled with addiction, I deeply understand the feeling of needing to use or abuse substances in order to survive in this world. The shame we feel when we are in the quicksand of addiction stunts our growth and keeps us in the same place. The fact is, addiction tricks us into thinking we are mitigating pain when in reality it is producting more trauma within us. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to express all your feelings about your addiction with no shame or judgment so you can feel motivated to make change.

Adam Luke M.A. LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The truth is addiction does not discriminate. Addiction does not care how amazing or how hurtful your family of origin is. You cannot escape addiction by moving to a different zip code or sitting in a different church pew. Addiction is indifferent to your hopes or dreams.
But your story is not a story about hopelessness; YOUR story is a story about redemption. A story that starts with taking back the power in your life, repairing relationships, and prioritizing your own value. This therapy process is about choosing yourself over previous emotional wounds and trauma. A realization that regardless of your vice, your life is worth more, your influence is worth more, and your life HAS MORE to give.
The cold hard facts are simple. NO ONE wakes up one day and says, “I cannot wait to be addicted to ________.” However, every day someone wakes up and asks themselves, “How am I going to get past my fears, this pain, my lack of self-worth, my feelings of hopelessness?”
The quick answer to that question? We try to escape through distraction. We look for instant gratification, and then we pursue it. At first, it starts with a bump, a sniff, or sip. But before we know it, what began as an attempt at self-medicating ends up in self-destruction.
Let’s make today the day we STOP the hurt and START the journey to healing.
