About Fresh Start of California LLC

Fresh Start of California LLC operates as a residential detox and rehab facility at 503 N Daisy Ave in Santa Ana, California, within Orange County. Licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS License #300349CP) and operating around the clock, the facility is positioned as an accessible entry point for individuals in Orange County and across Southern California who need immediate, supervised withdrawal management and residential addiction treatment.

The facility provides two levels of care: medical detox and residential inpatient treatment. Medical detox is the clinical starting point, designed to manage withdrawal under physician oversight. Dr. Sanjai Thankachen, M.D., serves as Medical Director, providing the medical supervision that distinguishes this level of care from non-clinical programs. Residential inpatient treatment follows, allowing patients to remain on-site for structured care after the acute withdrawal phase.

Treatment at Fresh Start of California addresses substance use disorder, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and co-occurring disorders including anxiety and depression. The clinical approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside holistic therapies, with a certified alcohol and drug counselor — Dan Jimmerson, CADC #Ci21171218 — on the clinical team. Same-day admissions and logistics support are available for patients and families navigating an urgent transition into care.

Fresh Start of California serves adults dealing with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions across Orange County and Southern California. The facility accepts private insurance and maintains 24-hour operations, making it a practical option for families who need immediate residential detox placement without waiting through intake delays. For direct inquiries, the admissions team is reachable by phone at (888) 804-8588 or by email at admission@freshstartofcalifornia.com.

Medical Detox in Santa Ana, Orange County

Supervised by Medical Director Dr. Sanjai Thankachen, M.D., the detox program is designed to manage the acute phase of withdrawal within a residential setting, reducing risk during what is often the most physically demanding stage of recovery. The facility's 24-hour operating schedule means that medically supervised detox is available at any hour — an important factor for individuals and families who cannot delay treatment.

Located at 503 N Daisy Ave in Santa Ana, the facility holds DHCS License #300349CP, confirming it meets California's regulatory standards for residential detox and rehabilitation services. Same-day admissions are available, and logistics support is offered to help patients and families navigate the transition into inpatient care.

Residential Inpatient Treatment for Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorders

Following medical detox, Fresh Start of California provides residential inpatient treatment for adults dealing with substance use disorder, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions. The facility's clinical scope includes anxiety and depression as recognized co-occurring diagnoses — meaning patients are not required to seek separate mental health placement to address these conditions alongside their addiction treatment.

The treatment team includes Dan Jimmerson, a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC #Ci21171218), alongside the facility's medical staff. Therapeutic methods on record include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and holistic therapies. This combination of clinical and therapeutic staffing within a single residential program allows patients to continue structured care after the detox phase without transferring facilities.
