If your attorney has been telling you to get into treatment, this is the part you can handle today. Same day admission available, and your court letter the same day you are admitted. Confidential, judgment-free care at Compass Recovery.
Most people who call us are not calling because they woke up ready. They are calling because an attorney has been telling them for weeks to get into treatment, and there is a court date coming. That is a completely legitimate reason to start, and it is the reason we move quickly.
You do not have to have decided anything about the rest of your life to make this call. You need to show the court that you have started, and you need it documented. We can do both this week, often today.
Plenty of programs can get someone through thirty sober days. The harder question is what the next thirty years look like, and that question is what our program is organized around.
Almost nobody drinks that heavily for no reason. Alcohol is usually solving something first: anxiety that will not quiet down, sleep that will not come, grief, a memory, a pressure with no other outlet. Remove the alcohol without addressing the reason and you have removed a coping mechanism and replaced it with nothing.
Depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder and unprocessed trauma sit underneath a great deal of heavy drinking. Our clinical team is experienced in treating both together, because treating one and deferring the other is the most reliable route back to where you started.
Our Purpose Discovery Program is a structured part of treatment: identifying what actually matters to you, what you want your life to contain, and what you are staying sober for. People stay sober for something. Finding that something is treatment, not an afterthought.
Alongside clinical therapy, treatment includes movement, mindfulness, nutrition and experiential work. Sleep, nutrition and physical regulation are not extras in early recovery. They are a large part of whether someone can do the harder therapeutic work at all.
Every admission begins with a clinical assessment by our medical and clinical team. That assessment, not the charge on your paperwork, determines what your treatment looks like and how long it runs.
Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous and, in severe cases, life threatening. Our team provides 24 hour monitored detox so the physical dependence is handled safely, with your comfort managed, before therapeutic work begins.
Structured days in a private facility, away from the bar, the routine and the people that produced the arrest. Individual therapy, group counseling and experiential work, every day, with the clinical intensity that outpatient cannot match.
Individualized scheduling for people who cannot step away from work, school or family, or who are stepping down from residential. The same clinical program, built around the rest of your life rather than in place of it.
Ask admissions which fits your situation.
Integrated treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder and trauma alongside the substance use, delivered by a team experienced in both rather than handed off between them.
Medication can reduce cravings and steady early recovery. Our medical director reviews whether it fits your clinical picture, including naltrexone and other evidence-based options.
This work maps your specific high risk situations, the ones you will actually face, and builds a concrete plan for each. The wedding. The work trip. The night the news is bad.
Discharge is a transition, not an ending. We build the aftercare structure that holds afterward, including ongoing planning and continued connection to the program.
People picture either a hospital ward or a vacation. It is neither. Days are full, structured and purposeful, which is a large part of why they work.
An early, consistent start. Mindfulness or movement, breakfast, and a group that sets the focus for the day. Structure and sleep rhythm are doing real clinical work in the first weeks.
The clinical core of the day. Individual therapy with your primary clinician, process groups, and targeted work such as EMDR, DBT skills or trauma-focused sessions depending on your plan.
Experiential and movement-based therapy, education groups, nutrition, or family sessions. This is where a lot of the real shifts happen, often outside a therapy room.
Support groups, reflection, and time that is genuinely yours. Rest is part of the treatment plan, not a gap in it.
A DUI brings very different people through the same door. What treatment looks like depends on which of these is closest to you.
The arrest was the first consequence other people could see, but you have known for a while. Maybe your BAC was well above the limit, which usually means tolerance has built. Maybe you have tried to cut back more than once and it did not hold.
Treatment here is about catching this before it becomes a pattern with a record attached.
Repeat offenses are one of the clearest clinical indicators that alcohol use has moved past choice. Education has already been tried. The consequences escalate sharply from here, and so does the risk to your health.
This is the profile that benefits most from residential treatment rather than another class.
A judge, a probation officer or your own attorney has pointed you toward clinical treatment, whether as a probation condition, ahead of sentencing, or through a collaborative court. You need real care and you need it documented properly.
We handle both. See working with your court requirements.
A lot of the people who call us are not the person who was arrested. They are a parent, a spouse or an adult child who has been worried for a while and now has something concrete to point at.
You can call and talk it through without committing anyone to anything. If the situation calls for it, we also offer intervention services.
A DUI is frequently the visible end of something that started in service. California offers Military Diversion for veterans whose charges connect to PTSD, traumatic brain injury or service related trauma, and many counties run a Veterans Treatment Court.
We are in network with TriWest, the VA Community Care Network administrator, and treat PTSD and substance use together.
The first step is a conversation, not a commitment. If you have a court date coming, say so on the first call and we will work to the deadline.
Any time, day or night. Tell us what happened and what you are worried about. Asking questions costs nothing and carries no obligation.
We assess your substance use, mental health and medical needs, then recommend the right level of care and explain why.
We check your benefits directly with your carrier. Sliding scale and private pay are available if you are not covered.
Same day admission available, and your treatment legal letter issued the same day you are admitted.
Treatment and the legal process run on separate tracks. We are set up to keep both moving without you having to manage the handoffs yourself.
Written verification of your assessment and admission, prepared for the court and issued the same day you are admitted. Ongoing progress letters follow on whatever schedule the court sets.
Released only with your written authorization and in line with federal substance use confidentiality rules.
We work directly with defense attorneys, probation officers, DUI program providers and case managers so treatment and your class requirement do not collide.
Attorneys want treatment underway before a court date, not promised. Same day admission is available, so there is a real record of engagement with a date on it.
One thing to be clear about: Compass Recovery is a licensed and accredited addiction treatment center. We are not a state licensed DUI program, so we do not deliver the court ordered DUI education classes themselves. If the court ordered you to a 3 month, 6 month, 9 month or 18 month program, you enroll in that separately and we work alongside it. What we provide is the clinical treatment for the substance use disorder, which those classes are not designed to do.
We cannot promise any particular legal outcome, and any provider who does is worth walking away from. Nothing on this page is legal advice. For your case, deadlines, penalties or license, speak with a qualified DUI attorney.
A DUI is already expensive. Treatment for a substance use disorder is a covered medical benefit under most health plans, which is not true of the court ordered classes.
Detox, residential and outpatient care are treated as medical benefits by most major carriers, though coverage, deductibles and authorization requirements vary by policy. Court fines, DUI program tuition, license reinstatement fees and ignition interlock costs are legal expenses and are paid separately.
If you are uninsured or underinsured, say so on the call. Sliding scale and private pay options are available, and knowing your situation up front lets us tell you what is actually possible rather than quoting a number that does not apply to you.
Our admissions team verifies your benefits directly and explains what your plan covers before you commit to anything.
Verify your coverage:
If you need a client assessed quickly, placed at the right level of care and documented properly, call our admissions line and ask for the clinical team. We can turn around a clinical assessment, confirm benefits and provide written verification of assessment, admission and progress, subject to the client's written authorization.
Same day admission is available. Admissions answers 24/7, the clinical assessment can usually happen on the same call or shortly after, and once the assessment is complete and benefits are verified we can admit you that day. If you have a court date coming, tell us on the first call and we will work to that deadline.
Your treatment legal letter is issued the same day you are admitted. It confirms your assessment and admission, which is what an attorney is usually asking for ahead of a court date. Ongoing progress letters follow on whatever schedule the court requires. Everything is released only with your written authorization, in line with federal substance use confidentiality rules.
Yes. Most people who call us are calling for exactly that reason, and it is a legitimate one. You do not have to arrive certain about anything. You need to show the court you have started, and starting is what creates the opening for the rest of it. Plenty of people who called because of a deadline stayed because the treatment worked.
It depends on the clinical picture rather than the charge. Medical detox typically runs several days. Residential treatment commonly runs 30 to 90 days, followed by continuing care that can extend much longer. Your assessment sets the recommendation and the plan is adjusted as you progress.
Days are structured and full. Mornings begin with mindfulness or movement and a group that sets the focus. Midday is the clinical core: individual therapy with your primary clinician, process groups, and targeted work such as EMDR or DBT skills depending on your plan. Afternoons bring experiential and movement-based therapy, education groups, nutrition or family sessions. Evenings include support groups and rest, which is part of the plan rather than a gap in it.
Both are available. Residential gives you the most clinical intensity and real distance from the routine that produced the arrest. Outpatient offers individualized scheduling for people who cannot step away from work, school or family, and it is also how many people step down after residential. Your assessment determines what is clinically appropriate, and admissions will talk you through which fits your obligations.
Yes. We provide a treatment legal letter: written verification of your assessment, admission and ongoing progress, prepared for the court and provided on the schedule it sets. It is released only with your written authorization and in line with federal substance use confidentiality rules. Tell admissions on the first call that your case requires documentation so it is built into your plan from the start.
Say so on the call. Sliding scale and private pay options are available, and knowing your situation up front lets our admissions team tell you what is actually possible rather than quoting a figure that does not apply to you. Cost should not be the reason you do not call.
Treatment for a substance use disorder is a covered medical benefit under most major health plans, including detox, residential and outpatient care, though coverage and authorization requirements vary by policy. Compass Recovery is in network with Blue Shield of California, Aetna, Cigna and TriWest, and sliding scale and private pay options are available. Court fines, DUI program tuition, license reinstatement fees and ignition interlock costs are legal expenses and are not covered by health insurance.
Yes. When a court, a probation officer or your attorney directs you into clinical treatment, Compass Recovery provides the assessment and the care itself, at the level your assessment indicates. We document assessment, admission and ongoing progress and share it on the schedule the court requires, with your written authorization. What we do not provide is the court ordered DUI education class, which must come from a state licensed DUI program.
You need detox if your body has become physically dependent on alcohol or another substance. Warning signs include tremors, sweating, nausea, racing heart or anxiety when you have not had a drink. Stopping abruptly on your own after heavy long term drinking can trigger seizures and can be life threatening, which is why withdrawal should be medically supervised.
We cannot promise any particular legal outcome, and no treatment provider should. What we can say is that attorneys frequently encourage clients to begin treatment before their court date, and courts routinely consider documented engagement in treatment when weighing sentencing and probation conditions. With your written authorization, we can provide documentation of your assessment, admission and progress.
In many cases yes, and sequencing is something our admissions team works through with you. If residential treatment temporarily conflicts with class attendance, that is usually addressed with your DUI provider and the court rather than by skipping either one. Never stop attending a court ordered program without confirming the plan with your attorney first.
A repeat offense is one of the strongest clinical indicators that alcohol use has moved beyond choice. The legal consequences escalate sharply, and so does the risk to your health. It is also the point at which clinical treatment matters most, because education alone has already been tried. Call us and we will give you a straight assessment of where things stand.
Yes, and in most cases it helps. Family therapy is part of the program where it is clinically appropriate and where you want it. Addiction rarely affects one person in isolation, and the people you go home to are a large part of whether recovery holds. What is shared with family is always governed by your written authorization.
Yes. Substance use treatment records are protected by HIPAA and by federal confidentiality regulations that apply specifically to substance use disorder records. Nothing is released to a court, an attorney, an employer or a family member without your written authorization.
This is the court ordered education requirement, which is separate from treatment and comes from a state licensed DUI program rather than from us. Which level applies depends on your blood alcohol concentration at arrest and any prior convictions, and the court has final authority.
| Program | Who it applies to | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Wet and Reckless SB1176 |
Reckless driving with measurable alcohol below the .08 limit. Drivers 18 to 20 convicted of DUI may be ordered to a similar program. | 12 hours of alcohol and drug education. |
| 3 Month AB541 |
First offense, BAC at the lower end. | Roughly 30 to 34 hours of education, group counseling and interviews. |
| 6 Month AB762 |
First offense, higher BAC. | Roughly 48 hours of education, group counseling and interviews. |
| 9 Month AB1353 |
First offense, highest BAC levels. | Roughly 60 to 65 hours of education, group counseling and interviews. |
| 18 Month SB1344, multiple offender |
Second and subsequent DUI offenders. | 12 hours of education, 52 hours of group counseling, biweekly individual interviews during the first year, and community reentry monitoring. |
| 30 Month | Third and subsequent offenders, where the county offers it. | 12 hours of education, 78 hours of group counseling, individual interviews and extensive community service. |
Hours vary by county. Counties add their own requirements on top of the state minimums, and some do not offer every level. An enhancement track also exists at the court's discretion. Your participant contract is the authority on what you owe.
Online classes do not count. The state does not license internet DUI programs, and online DUI classes do not meet California's requirements. If a provider offers to complete your court requirement entirely over the web, confirm their license before you pay.
You do not need to have decided anything. Call and tell us what happened, and we will tell you honestly whether treatment is the right call, what it would involve and what your insurance covers.
Plan a ride before you drink or use. Never drive impaired.
