Initial heroin addiction assessment
When you begin your journey with us, our clinical staff will thoroughly assess you and your heroin addiction symptoms to determine the best course of action for your treatment.
This allows us to identify your symptoms, evaluate the level of care required, and create a personalized treatment plan aimed at helping you achieve healing, independence, and lasting recovery from heroin addiction.
Our residential rehab for heroin addiction
We offer our detox and rehab programs in a home-like treatment facility to provide the time and space you need to build a solid foundation in sobriety.
Residential rehab
We offer semi-private, comfortable rooms, group outings to reconnect with nature, and in-house meals prepared locally and delivered daily. Our residential treatment is designed to provide a nurturing and healing environment, allowing you the time and space to work through your heroin addiction symptoms and regain control of your life.
During your heroin addiction treatment in our residential rehab in the Los Angeles, CA area, you will receive a comprehensive treatment regimen that includes heroin detox with medication support for managing your withdrawal symptoms, individual therapy sessions, group therapy with your peers, holistic therapy such as breathwork, yoga and art therapy, case management sessions to build fundamental life-skills, 12 step meetings, and 24/7 support from our knowledgeable staff.
Detox from heroin
The first step when recovering from heroin addiction is going through detox from the substance in a safe and monitored environment, as the withdrawal symptoms can have a significant impact on your mental and physical well-being.
Our detox program is clinically supervised and has on-site nursing staff and regular check–ins with a doctor to ensure a more manageable withdrawal from heroin and the associated symptoms.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) & Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
When you don’t require residential care, or are transitioning from it, or are looking for a more elevated level of care than a weekly therapy session, our PHP and IOP programs offer structured support while allowing you to maintain certain aspects of your daily routine.
Both programs include one-on-one and group therapy sessions with medication management where needed, case management sessions on an individual and group level, and our holistic therapy. Our outpatient treatment programs allow a more flexible schedule to live at home while attending the program during the day or evening and provides a community of mentors, relapse prevention education, personalized assessments, and holistic healing methods, and our PHP and IOP treatments ensure sustainable mind-body wellness.
PHP Includes:
90 days of treatment | 5 days per week | 6 hours per day
Monday through Friday
IOP Includes:
6-8 weeks of treatment | 3 days a week | 3 hours per day
This option works with your schedule, Monday through Friday
What to expect with our PHP and IOP programs
Depending on the level of care that best suits your needs, you may begin with our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and transition to the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), or begin directly at the IOP level.
Wherever your journey begins, after completing your treatment, you’ll become part of our supportive alumni community, offering encouragement and inspiration to others on their path to wellness. Our programs are carefully designed to include individual and group therapy, comprehensive case management, holistic treatments, and medication management. This integrated approach ensures a treatment plan that promotes healing at every stage. These programs include:
Individual therapy
Weekly sessions with a therapist to help you explore the underlying causes of your condition, identify your triggers, and develop coping strategies to last a lifetime.
Medication management
If necessary, our clinicians will prescribe and monitor medications to manage your condition symptoms and support wellbeing.
Case management
Weekly case management meetings will help you to develop life skills, build healthy daily routines, and support reintegration into your daily life.

Our substance use treatment programs
What is heroin, and heroin addiction?
Heroin is a synthesized opioid substance from the opium poppy that has been derived illegally and sold across the world, impacting and widely abused by millions to alleviate pain and anxiety while inducing a euphoric high. Heroin is mainly found in the form of a white or brown powder or a black sticky substance, and is highly addictive, and can often lead to overdose or death.
Heroin addiction, classified as an opioid use disorder, is a chronic condition that occurs when someone becomes physically and psychologically dependent on heroin. Chronic heroin abuse also presents significant health risks, including heroin overdose.
Heroin addiction is not a result of moral failure or poor decisions but a complex disorder that affects the brain and behavior. Heroin use can significantly alter your life, impairing relationships, health, and daily functioning.
