Admissions Process
How Our Admissions Process Works
The admissions process at Double Peak Recovery is designed to be supportive, confidential, and responsive to each individual’s needs. Our admissions team helps prospective clients and families understand available treatment options, complete an initial screening, review program appropriateness, and coordinate next steps for entering detox or residential treatment. Each admission is based on clinical appropriateness, client needs, and the level of care that best supports safety, stabilization, and recovery.
For individuals seeking detox or residential treatment in San Diego County, Double Peak Recovery provides guidance throughout the admissions process, including insurance verification, pre-admission coordination, arrival planning, and transition into care. Our goal is to make beginning treatment as clear and manageable as possible while maintaining a respectful and client-centered approach.

FAQs About Admissions
1. How do I get started with admissions at Double Peak Recovery?
Getting started is simple. Call our admissions team at 760-579-1109 or fill out the confidential form on this page, and a member of our team will reach out to talk through your situation. We’ll ask a few questions about what you’re going through, verify your insurance, and help you decide on the right level of care — most people can complete this first step in a single phone call.
2. Will my insurance cover treatment?
In many cases, yes. Double Peak Recovery works with most major PPO insurance plans, and we’ll verify your benefits for free and explain your coverage in plain language before you commit to anything. If you’re uninsured or have questions about out-of-pocket costs, we’ll talk you through your options — reach us at 760-579-1109.
3. How quickly can I be admitted?
Often the same day or the next day, depending on your situation and bed availability. If you’re ready, we can move quickly — addiction doesn’t wait, and neither do we. Call 760-579-1109 and we’ll let you know exactly what’s available right now.
4. What levels of care do you offer?
Double Peak Recovery provides medical detox and residential/inpatient treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, with a full continuum of care so your treatment can step down as you progress. During your first call, we’ll help determine which level of care is the right starting point for you.
5. What should I bring to treatment?
Pack comfortable clothing for 2 weeks, any prescription medications (in their original bottles), your ID and insurance card, and a few personal comfort items. We’ll send you a full packing list — including what not to bring — once your admission is scheduled, so you’ll know exactly how to prepare.
6. How long does treatment last?
It depends on your needs, but detox typically runs 3–7 days and residential treatment commonly lasts 3-4 weeks. We build an individualized plan for every client rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all timeline, and we’ll discuss the recommended length of stay with you up front.
7. Is my information kept confidential?
Completely. Everything you share with us is protected under federal privacy laws, including HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, which give substance use treatment records extra protection. We won’t share your information with anyone without your written permission, so you can reach out without worry.
8. Do you offer medical detox and medication support?
Yes. Our medical team provides supervised detox to keep you safe and as comfortable as possible during withdrawal, and where clinically appropriate we offer medication-assisted treatment. You’ll be cared for by licensed professionals around the clock throughout the detox process.
9. Can I stay in contact with my family during treatment?
Yes. We understand how important loved ones are to recovery, and we make time for family contact and involvement as part of your program. We’ll go over our communication and phone guidelines during intake so you and your family know what to expect.

What Our Customer Say
David L.
Recovery didn’t end when I left the program. The aftercare and alumni team kept checking in, connected me with ongoing support, and helped me build a sober life that lasts. A year later, I’m still going strong thanks to Double Peak.

Sarah M
Double Peak Recovery gave me my life back. From detox through residential treatment, the team in Escondido treated me with dignity and stayed by my side 24/7. My care was built around my own story, and the trauma-informed therapy helped me understand why I used and how to stay sober. I’m grateful every day for the compassionate people who helped me heal.

I was terrified to start detox, but the medical staff made me feel safe the entire time. They monitored me around the clock and managed my symptoms so I could focus on getting better instead of being afraid. I couldn’t have taken that first step anywhere else.

Marcus T.
What set Double Peak apart was how personal everything felt. My treatment plan wasn’t one-size-fits-all — it was built around my triggers and my goals. The CBT and DBT groups gave me real tools that I still use every single day.

Elena V.
The dual diagnosis care here changed everything for me. For years I struggled with both addiction and depression, and this was the first place that actually treated them together. The trauma-informed approach helped me understand the root of it all.

As a family member, I can’t say enough about the support we received. The family education sessions helped us understand what our son was going through and how to support his recovery at home. We finally felt included instead of helpless.
