About Elevate Addiction Services – SLT

Elevate Addiction Services is an inpatient detox program located in South Lake Tahoe, California with a holistic approach to treating alcohol and drug addiction. They’re part of a network of treatment centers across California. South Lake Tahoe’s idyllic backdrop with gorgeous pine trees and mountain vistas makes it an ideal retreat to prioritize recovery and healing.

Immersive Inpatient Solutions in Northern California

Although outpatient services are available, Elevate is known for its three phase inpatient program that includes physical and mental health treatments, foundational life skills support, and addressing the issues that can trigger substance abuse. The initial focus is on detox and uses holistic methods to emphasize proper nutrition. They use cognitive behavioral therapy and other proven methods to help support your sobriety and help you create healthy new thought patterns and habits for long term recovery.

Compassionate Intervention and Flexible Treatment

The inpatient program covers 30 to 35 days onsite but some people might need a little prodding to consider rehab. So, along with detox services, Elevate Addiction Services also provides intervention support with the help of the facility’s certified interventionist professionals.

Inpatient treatment may not work for everyone, which is why Elevate also offers outpatient programs with weekly support groups.

This treatment center accepts insurance plans from many major insurance providers including BlueCross BlueShield, Health Net, Tricare, Aetna, Cigna, UMR, Humana, and United Healthcare.

Amazing location, staff and purpose. This is the place for people who need help with addictions from kind and understanding people. They don't judge, belittle or accuse you, but in fact lift you up and teach you the tools for attaining the strength you need moving forward.

Today 8/1/2025 marks one year of sobriety. One year ago today I entered Elevate in Santa Cruz to start my detox from alcohol. A week later I relocated to the South Lake Tahoe facility. I had been drinking alcohol 45 plus years. I spent 30 days in Tahoe learning why and why I shouldn’t stay on my destructive path. Thank you to all that helped me. “OPP”

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Elevate Addiction Services’ inpatient treatment commences right after detox and constitutes 3 main phases of our entire rehabilitation program. After detox, the three phases of inpatient treatment comprise approximately 90 days. What then follows is a fourth and final phase, discharge planning and aftercare, which will be an ongoing process.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

For most forms of addiction, a detox period is required to overcome the discomfort associated with withdrawing from drugs and alcohol. Typically medication is prescribed for the detox period to ensure a safe and more comfortable process. However, at Elevate, they also focus more on holistic ways of healing, rather than simply handing out medication to each and every client and doing nothing else.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

The goal of nicotine replacement therapy in California is to mitigate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. It cuts down on your cravings by supplying a small dose of nicotine without exposing your body to the toxins of cigarette smoke.

If you are looking for a true recovery community, supportive staff that have done the work themselves, healthy and satisfying food, and the medicine that only mountain air can administer, come here. Healing, helpful, and holistic. This program addresses the roots of addiction rather than addressing surface level symptoms. Expect to work hard but also expect support of the highest caliber.

Response from the owner
Thank you Kevin! Truly, digging deep at issues we have not confronted all our lives is hard work! But also necessary and rewarding! Stay in touch, keep up the good work and let us know if you ever need support or just someone to talk to!
