Medical Detox Program
Medical detox at Nova Way Wellness typically lasts 3-7 days, depending on the substance and individual factors. Our Salinas facility provides round-the-clock medical supervision to ensure your safety and comfort during the withdrawal process.

Medical detoxification is the process of safely removing substances from the body under professional medical supervision. At our treatment center, our physicians use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and prevent life-threatening complications.
Our Detox Process
Assessment
Comprehensive medical and psychological evaluation to create your personalized detox plan.
Stabilization
24/7 medical monitoring with medication management to ease withdrawal symptoms safely.
Transition
Seamless transition to residential treatment or an outpatient program at our facility.

Outpatient Programs
Nova Way Wellness's outpatient programs offer flexible addiction treatment that allows patients to live at home while attending sessions at our Salinas center. These programs provide intensive therapeutic support while enabling you to maintain work, school, and family responsibilities.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP at Nova Way Wellness runs for 2-4 weeks with sessions 5-6 days per week, approximately 6 hours daily. This program provides a structured treatment experience similar to residential care but allows patients to return home in the evenings. PHP is often used as a step-down from residential treatment.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our IOP runs for 8-12 weeks, meeting 3-5 days per week for 3+ hours per session. This program is designed for individuals who need a high level of therapeutic support but have a stable living situation and can manage daily responsibilities between sessions.
Standard Outpatient
Ongoing outpatient care includes 1-2 sessions per week focused on relapse prevention, continued therapy, and alumni support. This level of care supports the transition back to independent living after completing a higher level of care at our facility.
Comparing Outpatient Levels
| Feature | PHP | IOP | Standard OP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hours/Week | 30-36 hours | 9-20 hours | 1-3 hours |
| Duration | 2-4 weeks | 8-12 weeks | Ongoing |
| Frequency | 5-6 days/week | 3-5 days/week | 1-2 days/week |
| Best For | Step-down care | Working adults | Maintenance |
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual diagnosis treatment at Nova Way Wellness addresses both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. Research shows that nearly half of individuals with a substance use disorder also experience a mental health condition. Treating both together at our Salinas facility significantly improves long-term recovery outcomes.
What Is Dual Diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis (also called co-occurring disorders) occurs when an individual experiences both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time. These conditions often fuel each other, making integrated treatment essential for lasting recovery.
Mental Health Conditions We Treat
- Depression and Major Depressive Disorder
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Bipolar Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Personality Disorders
Our Integrated Approach
Nova Way Wellness's dual diagnosis program integrates psychiatric care with addiction treatment. Our on-site clinical team includes psychiatrists, licensed therapists, and addiction counselors who collaborate to create a unified treatment plan. This includes:
- Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
- Trauma-informed therapy (EMDR, CPT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for co-occurring disorders
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation
- Group therapy with peers experiencing similar challenges
- Holistic wellness practices to support overall mental health
