Get Help with Your Addiction or Substance Abuse

Addiction to drugs or alcohol comes in various forms, and can be all-consuming and exhausting to handle every day.

Our expert team of clinicians at Clear Behavioral Health created addiction treatment programs to address addiction and substance use disorders at the source to heal the accompanying symptoms for a hopeful and recovered future.

Addiction and Substance Abuse Treatment at Clear Behavioral Health

We’ve created our addiction and substance abuse treatment centers with individualized programs to support you through your addiction symptoms. These programs include our alcohol and drug detox programs, inpatient substance use rehab, and our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). These treatment programs are conveniently in-network with most insurance providers so you can have peace of mind knowing your treatment is covered.

We offer both inpatient residential and outpatient addiction treatment options near you in Los Angeles, Gardena, and Redondo Beach, and we also offer an online option for those who’ve achieved sobriety, and are seeking more convenient care for mental health treatment.

Our addiction and substance abuse treatment is best suited for adults, where we will place you in the treatment program that will provide the best addiction treatment for your unique symptoms.

Initial Addiction Assessment

Upon initiation into our addiction programs, our clinical staff will conduct a thorough assessment of your symptoms to then determine the level of care that will provide the best treatment option, and help you gain independence, and healing from your symptoms.

Our Residential Treatment for Addiction and Substance Abuse

In some cases, your addiction can affect your daily life functioning. If you notice you are unable to work, maintain relationships, or take care of yourself, you may benefit from our residential program. In our residential facilities, you’ll have access to our detox program and rehab services. You’ll experience the same therapies as our outpatient options, with extended care and round-the-clock support from staff to assist in managing any withdrawal symptoms.

We offer semi-private and comfortable rooms, group outings to reconnect with nature, as well as in-home meals and laundry access. Giving yourself the time and healing environment to work through substance abuse symptoms is a great way to reconnect with yourself and get back to your life.

Detox Safely

Our detox program provides a safe and clinically monitored detox process with the assistance of medication management. Our staff will assist you in determining if you will benefit from detoxing in your initial assessment. In the first week of your residential stay, you will have round-the-clock monitoring of your withdrawal symptoms by our clinical staff to safely detox in the comfort of a home-like environment.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

We’ve developed the full continuum of care for addiction and substance abuse treatment with our PHP and IOP programs. Both programs for substance abuse include one-on-one and group therapy sessions with medication management where needed, case management sessions on an individual and group level, our holistic therapy and follow the 12-step program.

Our addiction and substance abuse treatment programs provide the support you need to heal your addiction, the associated symptoms, and connect with others also suffering from similar substance use disorders.

What to Expect with PHP and IOP

Depending on what best suits your needs, you’ll begin at the PHP level and then move to the IOP program or may begin at the IOP level. In either case, once you’ve completed treatment, you’ll become a part of our ever-growing alumni community, providing hope and support to those who come after you.

These programs are structured with therapy and case management at an individual and group level, as well as holistic therapy and medication management for an addiction treatment schedule that provides healing at every step. These programs include:

Individual Therapy

Every week you will meet with your personal therapist to go over your addiction, how you’re handling the symptoms, the feelings accompanying the symptoms and treatment, what addiction triggers you’re experiencing, and learn the tools to cope with addiction.

Our therapists use highly successful addiction and substance use treatment methods such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), somatic therapy and gestalt therapy.

Medication Management

If your addiction symptoms or substance abuse withdrawal require medication, our clinicians will be there to medically assist you through that withdrawal, and help you find the best medical drugs to treat addiction and its side effects.

Case Management

Meeting once a week with your case manager will help you build vital life skills, relapse prevention skills, and create fundamental change within your day-to-day habits to make transitioning back into your life as simple and easy as possible.

Group Therapy

You will attend group therapy three times per day for addiction treatment in a group setting. This allows you to build a network of peers who also experience similar feelings, and symptoms of addiction and create a community of healing together.

In these sessions, you’ll focus on a therapy modality, such as CBT for addiction treatment, building important life skills, and working your mind and body connection through our holistic healing.

Holistic Groups

Our holistic therapy groups are an amazing way to come back to yourself and your body, and heal that connection through yoga, mindfulness, sound baths, meditation and more.

Our Virtual/Online IOP

If you’ve reached sobriety but still need treatment related to a mental health condition, our online IOP program for continued mental health support is a convenient option. This program has all the benefits of our in-person programs, via private online software to provide treatment on your own time.

Our in-person, addiction-focused, inpatient and outpatient locations are available throughout Los Angeles and the Redondo Beach area while our mental health-focused virtual programs are available to all residents of California. We are available and accessible to wherever you are on your healing journey.

What is Addiction?

Addiction, or substance use disorder, occurs when you uncontrollably use substances or engage in risky behaviors despite the possible harmful consequences. Addiction is often accompanied by the inability to control the usage of the substance, risky behaviors, an increase in cravings, and a tendency to relapse after periods of abstinence or multiple attempts to quit. Addiction can significantly impact your health, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Addiction is not a result of a person’s lack of willpower or a result of making bad decisions. When you suffer from addictions, you are physically unable to control urges even when you know it might harm you and your relationships. Recognizing that addiction is a complex brain disorder helps shift the focus from moral judgment to a compassionate approach focused on treatment support and recovery.

There are two main groups of addiction:

Substance Addictions (Substance Use Disorder) – This includes substances like alcohol, prescription drugs, benzodiazepines, stimulants and opiates.
Non-substance addictions (Behavioral Addictions) – These addictions include gambling, shopping, gaming, or risky self-harming behaviors.
