Los Angeles Addiction Treatment Center 100+ Recoveries

It depends on your level of care and what your plan covers. Most people here use insurance, and we check your benefits for free before you commit to anything, so you know your out-of-pocket number in advance. The levels price differently: PHP is the most intensive and costs the most per week, IOP is less because you're here fewer hours, and standard outpatient less again. If you want the numbers first, ask on the call and we'll break down what each level runs in Los Angeles, both with coverage and without it.

Usually yes, at least in part. California's SB 855 and the federal parity law require most plans to cover addiction and mental health care the way they cover other medical conditions. We work with most major PPO plans. What your plan actually pays depends on your level of care, whether you've met your deductible, and how your specific policy is written, and a denial isn't the end of it — plans have an appeals process, and parity law gives you real grounds to push back. Or verify your insurance and we'll make the calls for you.

Most of our clients do. IOP meets a few hours a day, several days a week, with morning and evening options, plus telehealth for the weeks when getting to Westwood isn't realistic. If you do need time away from work, FMLA can protect your job for up to 12 weeks at employers it covers, and the ADA generally protects people who are in treatment from being fired for it. In most cases your employer only needs to know you're under a provider's care, not the details of why.

PHP typically runs 4–6 weeks and IOP 8–12 weeks, though many people step down through levels of care rather than stopping after one. Your timeline gets set with your clinical team, not by a calendar. The research is consistent on one point: outcomes get better the longer someone stays engaged in treatment, and stepping down gradually — PHP to IOP to outpatient to alumni support — holds up better than stopping the week you first feel steady.

Day one is an intake conversation, not an interrogation. Groups start early in the week, your first individual session usually lands midweek, and you meet with psychiatry by the end of it. By the end of that first week you'll have a treatment plan you helped write, a therapist you've actually sat with, and a schedule for the weeks ahead, so nothing about the day-to-day comes as a surprise.

That's one of the most common things we hear, and it's rarely a reason to wait. Plenty of people who need help are still holding down a job and a family — functioning and struggling at the same time is the norm, not the exception, and it's usually what keeps people putting off the call for years. The signs that matter are quieter than people expect: needing more to get the same effect, promising yourself you'll cut back and not managing it, planning your day around it. A confidential assessment costs you nothing and doesn't obligate you to anything.

Ask us, then check for yourself. We're licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services (Lic. #191643AP), and that license is verifiable in the state's public database. Ask any program you're considering for its license number, who owns it, who your therapist will be and what their credentials are, and what happens if you need a higher level of care than they offer. And be skeptical of any success rate you're quoted — nobody measures it the same way, so the number is marketing, not data.
