Why Choose SOBA
Why Tempe Residents Detoxify With Us
Whatever brought someone to this point, the hardest and most dangerous stretch is often withdrawal itself: coming off alcohol or benzodiazepines can be physically unsafe alone, and opioid withdrawal is hard to get through without support. Detox isn't the treatment, it's getting through that part under medical monitoring so the therapy work, IOP or residential, can actually begin.
Clinical Note
Alcohol, benzodiazepine, and opioid withdrawal can turn dangerous without medical supervision, sometimes life-threatening. That's why it belongs in a clinical setting rather than a plan to get through it at home.

The Program
What Detoxification Looks Like
Detox here is physician-led and medication-managed, with monitoring around the clock through the acute withdrawal window: usually about 5–7 days depending on the substance and severity. Once you're stable, the same team moves you straight into residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient.
Physician-Led Clinical Care
Reyes Topete, MD, our medical director, oversees every level of care at SOBA. One family-owned clinical team has run the whole continuum since 2007, detox through aftercare, with no handoffs between separate providers.
The Distance Is the Point
The drive to Mesa isn't a detour from recovery; it's part of it. Real distance from the people, places, and routines tied to active use in Tempe is often what makes the early weeks hold, which is why our campus sits somewhere calm and private, with admissions open 24/7.
Getting Here
Getting to Detoxification from Tempe
US-60 puts our Mesa facility about 25 to 30 minutes east of Tempe, close enough for family to stay involved and far enough to break from the people and places tied to the using. Admissions run 24/7, we verify insurance fast, and transportation from Phoenix Sky Harbor can be arranged. Detox flows straight into residential, PHP, or IOP, so nobody's discharged mid-recovery to go find a second facility. If this is a medical emergency, call 911.
