Experience has show that 95% of the persons admitted to a Social Model Detoxification Program can withdraw from the effects of alcohol and drugs without immediate medication or medical intervention.

Palm Avenue, a Social Model Detoxification Program, is a 15-bed facility serving men and women in San Mateo County. Palm Avenue is a 72-hour (3 days) to 60 hours (5 days) program.

The program has primary goals:
1. To provide a safe, homelike and supportive atmosphere for persons withdrawing from the effects of alcohol and other drugs.
2. To provide information and referrals to a continuum of recovery services in the community.

Palm Avenue provides a 24 hour crisis/information phone line for all persons whose lives are affected by alcohol and other drug related problems.

Clients who wish only to detox and not be referred into a Treatment Program are accepted, as well as clients who wish to move on in the continuum of care available.

A person may not be admitted for the following reasons:
1. Behavior that is dangerous to staff or other residents.
2. Having a need for professional nursing care.
3. Having a need for restraint.
4. Having a need for immediate medical care or evaluation.

The staff will evaluate whether the client is appropriate to be admitted. The initial assessment is always made through a telephone screening. A client must always call first for this pre-screening assessment. All admissions are voluntary and no one is denied admission for failure to establish a pattern of sobriety.
