I’m Salina Shuler, the President and co-founder of South OC Detox and Treatment. It has been my vision to establish a different type of drug and alcohol detox than what exists in most institutions and facilities throughout the country. While we provide a safe and comfortable detox for addictions ranging from alcohol and opiates, to benzodiazepines and amphetamines, we also try to create an environment that would best facilitate growth in our clients during this first phase of treatment. Rather than merely providing the necessities for a comfortable stay, here at SOCD, we attempt to empower our clients to take seriously their recovery and to view this process as one that will require the willingness to explore different coping skills, the honesty to look within oneself, the openness to share one’s pain with others as a means to acceptance, and the perseverance to commit to a process by which many, many others have found peace and serenity. In my many years of working in the clinical field, I have found that empathy and understanding are two of the most important facets of connection by which I have seen positive change in my clients. Using these gifts has allowed me to bring a different level of care to those who come in to South OC Detox & Treatment and has also helped me to bring hope to those who believe they are swimming in a sea of hopelessness.

"Matt is a genuine representation of what’s so special about SOCD. He’s someone I feel comfortable talking to about anything going on with myself, which has helped me throughout the times I needed it. Not just a professional with years’ worth of experience in the field, he has the life experience to give great feedback and advice…or just listen when someone needs to be heard. Some of my favorite groups are with Matt because he’s so passionate and versed with the material at hand and he has a broad range of knowledge, leading to in depth conversations where I can gain a better understanding of a variety of different concepts. Anyone would be lucky to have his gifts shared with them”.- Socdetox Client

“When I came into detox and met Alicia I immediately felt comfortable talking to her about anything and everything. I am very grateful for her mediating my family session on the phone and making us feel like anything said was needed to be talked about, good and bad. She expressed her thoughts and feedback and reassured us that everything can be worked through. I took a lot away from my family session and it really helped my family dynamic in my eyes. I will forever be grateful for her therapy and I think Alicia does great clinical work at SOCD.”-Socdetox Client
