Sentinel Alcohol Detox
About Passages
Listed in Malibu, CA.
PASSAGES is a licensed alcohol detox and recovery facility in Malibu, California. It offers detox and residential treatment, which means you can stay there while alcohol leaves your system and continue living on site through the next stage of care. It also provides incidental medical services, so some medical support is available during your stay.
This kind of place usually suits someone who needs a supervised place to stop drinking and wants residential care afterward rather than going home right away. If you or your loved one is showing severe withdrawal signs, such as seizures, hallucinations, confusion, or a racing heart, call 911 or go to an emergency room now.

Licensing and Current Status
PASSAGES holds a RES-DETOX license from the California Department of Health Care Services, and its licensed or certified status is confirmed. For you, that means the state recognizes it to run both residential care and detox under one license, and it has met California's requirements for this kind of facility. It is not a hospital, though.
Even with incidental medical services on site, severe withdrawal is a medical emergency. If there are seizures, hallucinations, confusion, or a racing heart, call 911 or get to an ER first.

Questions to Ask Passages Before You Call
When you call PASSAGES, it helps to have questions ready. Ask how their detox works day to day and who will be watching you during the first days off alcohol. Ask what their incidental medical services cover and when they would send someone to a hospital instead.
Ask whether they have space right now, how long the residential stay usually runs, and what happens after you finish. It is also fair to ask how they handle a relapse and whether family can visit or join any part of care. Write the answers down so you can compare places later.
