Treatment Programs at MKL Rehab

Medical Detox

Medical detoxification at MKL Rehab marks the essential first step on the path to sobriety. Our Oakland facility near Mountain Blvd offers round-the-clock physician and nursing supervision within a secure, calming environment. Medication-assisted treatment is deployed as clinically appropriate to ease withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants.

Most detox stays span 3 to 7 days, depending on the substances involved and the patient's overall health profile. Throughout the process, our medical team continuously tracks vital signs, fine-tunes medication dosages, and provides emotional support to ease the transition. Upon medical stabilization, patients move directly into residential or outpatient treatment without interruption.

Substances We Treat

Residential Treatment

Our residential program offers a structured 30- to 90-day immersion built around consistency, mutual accountability, and meaningful connection. Within our 38-bed Oakland campus, each resident follows a carefully designed daily schedule that includes individual counseling, evidence-based group sessions, family workshops, and wellness-focused activities.

Treatment plans are co-created with patients. CBT, DBT, motivational enhancement therapy, and 12-Step facilitation form the clinical backbone, while yoga, guided breathwork, art therapy, and physical fitness programming support emotional and physical renewal. This multilayered approach constructs a recovery foundation sturdy enough to withstand the challenges that follow discharge.

A Typical Day

Outpatient Program

MKL Rehab's outpatient services encompass both an Intensive Outpatient Program and a standard Outpatient track, each engineered to deliver meaningful clinical intervention without requiring round-the-clock residence. Sessions are held at our Oakland campus multiple days each week, utilizing the same evidence-based methodologies that underpin our residential offering.

The IOP track involves 9 to 12 weekly hours of group therapy, individual sessions, and relapse-prevention skill building. As patients demonstrate consistent progress, they step down to our standard outpatient track at 3 to 6 hours per week. Both tracks include routine toxicology screening, family participation opportunities, and thorough continuing-care planning informed by the support resources available across the East Bay and Alameda County.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many individuals who seek addiction treatment at MKL Rehab also navigate co-occurring mental health challenges such as major depression, generalized anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Our dual diagnosis program treats both conditions concurrently, because experience has shown that isolating one from the other dramatically increases the risk of relapse.

Our psychiatric staff performs comprehensive diagnostic workups and collaborates directly with therapists and counselors to build unified treatment plans. Patients receive individual psychotherapy, psychiatric medication management as indicated, targeted co-occurring disorder groups, and practical coping-skill instruction designed for real-world application beyond our campus. This integrated model maximizes the likelihood of sustained recovery and meaningful mental health improvement.
