Westwind Recovery Los Angeles

Westwind Recovery is a Los Angeles treatment provider serving people who want help with alcohol, drugs, and mental health needs alongside substance use. It has operated since 2014 and is accredited by the Joint Commission, a national organization that reviews the quality and safety of health care. The center's stated mission is to provide comprehensive care for substance use disorders while treating any mental health issues present at the same time. A close community and individualized support, rather than one fixed path, form the basis of the program.

That means clients may receive standard talk therapies alongside options like art therapy, adventure therapy, and mindfulness. The center also operates seven sober living homes in Los Angeles and an outpatient treatment center, though amenities and room types vary by location. The overall goal, according to the center's own description, is to help people build lasting sobriety with coordinated medical and therapeutic support.

The center's SAMHSA listing names detox and care for substance use as well as mental health needs as Westwind Recovery Los Angeles's main levels of care.

Most stays run 30 days, although plans vary between one person and the next. Among its approaches are evidence-based, holistic, individual, and Twelve Step methods. The therapies it lists take in cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, trauma-specific therapy, family therapy, art therapy, adventure therapy, mindfulness, life skills, and individual counseling with a clinical psychologist.
