βDr. Gomez and Dr. Carlos are incredible. They make the house feel like home and family, and Dr. Gomez genuinely cares, following up with clients even after discharge.β

The doctors are the owners, and they're here every day
Regain Hope Detox and Recovery Center is owned and run by two physicians who built the program around a belief that recovery deserves real medical care delivered with genuine warmth. Unlike larger facilities where a physician checks in remotely, our doctors are on-site, in person, every day, and a small, close-knit clinical team surrounds them.

Mileidys Gomez Gonzalez, MD
Dr. Mileidys Gomez Gonzalez is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Regain Hope Detox and Recovery Center. With more than 20 years of medical experience, she brings strong clinical leadership and a compassionate, patient-centered approach to addiction treatment and recovery.
Originally trained as a physician in Cuba, Dr. Gomez continued her medical training in the United States, completing her Family Medicine Residency at UCSF Fresno and pursuing advanced training in Addiction Medicine. She also completed a Primary Care Psychiatry Fellowship through the UCI School of Medicine in 2021. Her background allows her to care for patients through detox and withdrawal management while also attending to their overall physical, emotional, and behavioral health.
At Regain Hope, Dr. Gomez remains personally involved in patient care every day, overseeing detoxification, medication management, stabilization, and individualized recovery planning. She believes recovery is not one size fits all, focusing on evidence-based treatment, including Medication-Assisted Treatment when appropriate, while helping patients restore their health, rebuild relationships, and create a strong foundation for lasting recovery.

Nora A. O'Connor, LCSW
Nora A. O'Connor, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate addiction, trauma, mental health challenges, and life transitions. She has worked across detoxification, residential treatment, outpatient programs, and community-based behavioral health settings, supporting clients through some of the most difficult and transformative moments of their lives.
Nora earned her Master's degree from San Francisco State University. Specializing in trauma, substance use disorders, dual diagnosis treatment, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions, she uses a trauma-informed approach that integrates Somatic Therapy, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and relapse prevention.
At Regain Hope, Nora works closely with clients to address the underlying issues that often contribute to substance use, helping them build healthier coping skills and a meaningful path forward. Clients appreciate her warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental style, and the environment she creates where people feel genuinely heard and respected while being challenged to grow.

Jack Gould, CADC
Jack Gould is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) with more than a decade of experience supporting individuals through substance use treatment and recovery. He brings a grounded, compassionate, and creative approach to counseling, helping clients understand the patterns, challenges, and choices that shape their recovery journey.
Jack holds a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art from UCLA and completed counseling studies through UCLA Extension. Before entering the behavioral health field, he worked as a professional photographer and played in an independent rock band, experiences that shaped his appreciation for creativity, resilience, and human connection.
At Regain Hope, Jack supports clients as they begin rebuilding their lives free from the control of addiction. He is passionate about helping people reconnect with their strengths, rediscover purpose, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.
Real doctors. On-site. Every day.
Most detox centers run on a rotating staff with a physician who checks in by phone. Regain Hope Detox and Recovery Center is owned and run by two physicians who care for you in person. Here's why that changes everything.
Most centers
- Rotating staff; a doctor checks in remotely
- Orders and changes happen over the phone
- You're one of dozens of clients
Regain Hope Detox and Recovery Center
- Two physicians on-site, in person, every day
- Medication adjusted at the bedside, same day
- A small program where you're known by name
It's 2 a.m. and withdrawal spikes
A physician is on-site to respond and adjust your medication, not a nurse waiting on a callback.
You have diabetes or high blood pressure
A doctor trained in internal & family medicine manages it right alongside your detox.
A medication isn't working for you
The physician who owns the program changes it in person, the same day.
A close-knit, largely family team, with care available in English, Spanish, and Korean, and a culture that treats every client like one of their own.
