Detox and co-occurring programs

The Encino Recovery & Detox Center describes detox with medical oversight and nursing coverage around the clock, plus residential care for people with a substance use disorder who also have mental health conditions. An in-depth assessment at the start weighs both withdrawal and psychiatric concerns (though art therapy, family therapy, 12 Step orientation, and medication-assisted treatment show up in the center's own descriptions of its services). Its materials mention many therapies, among them trauma therapy cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy-focused approaches. This Los Angeles dual diagnosis treatment center provides adults with withdrawal care and mental health care together with substance use care. Coming off alcohol or benzodiazepines is something clinicians should manage, since it can be unsafe.

The center lists evidence-based and experiential approaches, along with bio-medical and Twelve Step orientations. Discharge planning and referrals are provided. An alumni program is led by the center's therapists, with follow-up sessions online and alumni events. When you are comparing residential addiction treatment programs in Los Angeles, ask how aftercare is structured and who leads it. If you need to know whether a program can meet a specific mental health need, call the center and ask for a clinical screening before making any plans.
