Words of Wonder

Words of Wonder is a non-profit detox center located in Santa Monica, California that offers services to men and women aged 18 and older. This drug rehab facility offers detox, outpatient care, and aftercare.

Detoxing is the process of weaning the patient off of the abused substance. Clients are monitored by medical professionals who are there to minimize withdrawal symptoms and ensure a successful detox. Before the client can attend therapy, they must first complete this step. Once completed, they meet with their doctor who goes over their treatment plan with them.

Outpatient care is reserved for those who are in good medical condition and are not considered at risk of relapse. Words of Wonder builds upon the existing treatment strategy for the client and provides ongoing addiction counseling and educational and emotional support. Group counseling is the primary modality used in this outpatient program.

Aftercare is for those who have completed a treatment program at Words of Wonder. Resources are available to alumni that focus on relapse prevention. These can include continued therapy and referrals to other programs.

Words of Wonder accepts cash and self-pay options. However, major insurance providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and Anthem, are known to cover drug addiction services. It is important to contact your insurance provider to verify out of network benefits because coverage varies from plan to plan.
