Residential Rehab in Los Angeles

Our Residential Program

Stepping away from work and family for a month is a big decision, and it’s easier to make when you know what that month holds. Cliffside West Los Angeles provides residential rehab in Los Angeles for adults 18 and older whose primary diagnosis is a substance use disorder. You’ll live in one of our two Westside homes, each with six beds, alongside a clinical team small enough to know you by name within days. Many people begin with medical detox here and step into residential care without a break once they’re stable. Our detox page covers that first stage.

What a Week in Residential Treatment Looks Like

Each week at Cliffside West LA combines one-on-one therapy, group sessions, a psychiatrist visit and at least an hour with your case manager. Your schedule is built around your goals and reviewed every week, so the plan changes as you do.

Including detox, the average stay is more than 30 days, which gives new habits time to take hold. Close to 90% of the people who start treatment here finish it.

Talk through your situation with our admissions team. Call (877) 621-5810 any time.

How Therapy Works Here

Treatment is built on the Stages of Change model. Your team starts from how ready you feel to change right now, even if the honest answer is “not sure yet,” and picks the therapies that fit that stage. Those include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to catch the thoughts that lead to using, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for handling strong emotions, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for acting on what matters to you when cravings show up. Peer support groups include 12-step meetings and Refuge Recovery, a mindfulness-based option. Yoga and meditation are part of the week too.

Is Residential Rehab in Los Angeles Right for You?

Residential care fits people who need more structure than outpatient visits can offer: people finishing detox, people who’ve relapsed after earlier treatment, and people whose daily surroundings make early sobriety hard to protect. It also fits when depression, anxiety, trauma or another mental health condition is involved, since your psychiatrist and therapist treat it alongside your substance use.

“I’ve been to rehab before.”

So have many of our patients. Your team treats that history as useful information about what didn’t work and builds a different plan around it.

“I can’t just leave my job.”

Your admissions specialist can help with FMLA forms or a leave-of-absence request before you arrive. Once you’re here, your case manager keeps your return to work part of the plan.

“Will anyone find out?”

Your information is kept confidential from the first call. For more than 20 years, Cliffside has cared for executives, professional athletes, musicians and others in public roles, so staff are used to keeping things low-profile.

“What will it cost?”

In-network plans include Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, ComPsych and TriWest (VA Community Care for eligible veterans). Most other plans are accepted out of network, and private pay is available.

Family Involvement

Your family has been living with this too. The Family Immersion Program meets twice a month at Cliffside and online, so relatives far from LA can join in and start rebuilding trust with you.

Planning for Life After Discharge

Your discharge plan starts on day one. Your case manager helps you line up outpatient care, sober living if you want it, and medical providers in Los Angeles or near your home anywhere in the country. After you leave, you’ll have:

  • One year of Discovery 365, an AI-powered recovery app, at no additional cost
  • A weekly Saturday alumni group in West LA, led by an alum with six or more months of sobriety
