Residential Treatment

Residential care provides a supportive environment that combines individual therapy, group sessions, psychiatric support, and case management, all within a home-like setting that accommodates just six patients. On average, our detox and residential programs last over 30 days, allowing you time to stabilize and develop a robust recovery plan.

Discharge & Aftercare Planning

Discharge planning starts right from day one. Your case manager dedicates at least an hour each week to develop a personalized plan with you, linking you to reliable outpatient providers, sober living homes, and medical professionals in Los Angeles or wherever you call home across the country. Together, we’re setting you up for success.

If you’re struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction or battling a co-occurring disorder, we have the experts to help you on your healing journey. 

Treatment Built Around You

Our clinical foundation is grounded in the Stages of Change model, combined with evidence-based practices and a strong therapeutic alliance between each patient and their care team. Instead of putting you in a predetermined program, we customize our approach to meet you where you are in your recovery and provide the support you need to move forward.

Your care team includes:

  • An addiction medicine physician serving as medical director
  • A psychiatrist specializing in addiction medicine seeing every patient at least once weekly
  • Master’s-level therapists who work with a maximum of six patients
  • A certified counselor case manager who leads your discharge planning
  • Licensed and registered nurses providing 24/7 care


The small patient-to-staff ratio in our secure and supportive setting means your therapist has time to know your history, your goals, and the people in your life who matter to your recovery.
