Barbiturate addiction can sneak up on you—what may have started as a legitimate prescription for sleep or anxiety can quickly spiral into something more dangerous. At Leucadia Detox, a Maven Recovery Centers facility in beautiful Encinitas, California, we specialize in helping individuals break free from dependence on sedative-hypnotics like Amytal, Seconal, Luminal, and Nembutal—often referred to by their street names such as Barbs, Reds, Blues, Goof Balls, and Pinks. These substances impact your central nervous system, and when misused, can lead to slowed breathing, confusion, and even life-threatening overdose—especially when mixed with alcohol or opioids.

At our detox center in San Diego County, our approach to barbiturate addiction is rooted in personalized care, medically supervised detox, and evidence-based therapy. We start with around-the-clock clinical monitoring to safely manage withdrawal symptoms such as seizures, tremors, and insomnia. Then, through individual therapy, group sessions, and holistic care like mindfulness and nutritional support, we begin rebuilding the foundation of your life. At Leucadia Detox, you won’t just detox—you’ll rediscover your strength, find purpose, and start a path toward lasting recovery with a team that truly understands where you’ve been and where you’re going.
