About Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services
Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services, also known as Diablo Valley Treatment Center, is an addiction treatment practice located in San Ramon, California, with a second location in Walnut Creek. The program is led by Daniel Smeester, MD, who is board-certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine and the American Board of Emergency Medicine and brings more than 20 years of clinical experience as the practice’s Clinical and Medical Director.
The program offers a fully physician-supervised continuum of care. Inpatient Medical Detox is described by the practice as a state-of-the-art program that safely manages withdrawal from alcohol, opioids including fentanyl, and other substances in a luxury inpatient setting. Following detox, clients can step into a residential program lasting up to 30 days, then transition into partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) counseling. SAMHSA records confirm the practice as a substance use treatment facility with CARF accreditation and document outpatient and intensive outpatient services alongside detox.
A distinguishing element of Diablo Valley is its addiction-free pain management track, with interventional pain management and ketamine infusion therapy provided in the same office for chronic pain, depression, and anxiety, an integrated offering relatively uncommon among East Bay rehab providers. Cognitive behavioral therapy is documented in SAMHSA records as a core modality, and the website highlights confidential, MD-supervised treatment across all levels of care.
SAMHSA records also identify a broad population focus including veterans, pregnant women, young adults aged 18 to 25, older adults, men, women, court-ordered admissions, and clients living with HIV/AIDS. Documented payment methods include private insurance and self-pay, and the practice notes telehealth and trauma-informed care among its capabilities. Diablo Valley serves the San Francisco East Bay including San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, and surrounding Contra Costa County communities.
