Star City Recovery Tarzana

Star City Recovery works with adults who have mental health conditions and also substance use disorders that commonly occur together. Staff describe their approach as built on respect and steady encouragement rather than pressure. Someone struggling with alcohol, opioids, or other drugs receives a plan shaped around their own circumstances, not a fixed script. They describe the goal as helping people rebuild daily life from within, with attention to the distress that often sits beneath heavy drinking or drug use.

Care begins with medical detox for those who need it, then moves into residential programming. The clinical side draws on evidence-based practice, and the center pairs that with complementary methods such as meditation, acupuncture, and recreation. Star City Recovery Tarzana offers detox plus residential care across 6-15 beds in Los Angeles County, which keeps the setting intimate and the staff-to-client contact frequent.

What separates a small house from a large one is often the pace of the day. Here the schedule blends individual counseling, group work, family sessions, and time outdoors, with life skills and relapse prevention woven through. The Tarzana location pairs evidence-based therapy with holistic methods for people in Los Angeles, and the program is built for adults who want privacy while they stabilize.

Care levels for Star City Recovery

The center lists three levels of care: detox, residential rehab, plus mental health needs treatment alongside substance use. Detox comes first for people whose bodies have adapted to alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids; residential care then follows for those needing structure and daily support before returning home. At this Tarzana center, detox and residential rehab last 30 or more days for most clients, though actual length depends on clinical need and how someone responds in the first weeks.

Therapy options feature cognitive behavioral therapy individual counseling, family therapy, medication-assisted treatment, acupuncture, meditation and mindfulness, recreation therapy, life skills, and relapse prevention counseling. Medication-assisted treatment means medications such as Suboxone may be part of a plan for opioid use disorder when clinically appropriate. Star City Recovery Tarzana pairs cognitive behavioral therapy with medication-assisted treatment and holistic care so that both the dependence and the underlying anxiety, depression, or trauma get attention. After discharge, the team lists outpatient treatment, discharge planning, professional re-entry support, and relapse prevention planning.

Paying for care for Star City Recovery

Rates for private pay are posted by the center. This page does not confirm insurance, so the sensible move is to phone and ask what your plan covers first. Our helpline can help you find out whether a policy or California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, applies at this location, and what your out-of-pocket expense would be for a stay. Call to verify insurance and bed availability at Star City Recovery Tarzana in Los Angeles, because staff must review your details before either is confirmed. Until that check happens, nothing is promised.
