Understanding Drug Addiction
Addiction, or substance use disorder (SUD), is when you have a reliance on mind-altering substances. Addiction is considered a chronic, relapsing condition that can cause various changes in the brain, like altering dopamine levels while impairing focus, memory, decision-making, and impulse control. With proper professional help, you can overcome addiction.

The Drug Addiction Treatment Process
When seeking out drug addiction treatment, it’s important to find programs that offer individualized treatment planning, ideally focusing on treating both addiction and mental illness. This helps improve the success rate of sobriety by making sure any underlying mental health or medical issues are addressed.
Comprehensive Assessment and Evaluation
An initial psychological and substance abuse evaluation is needed so we can fully understand what your substance abuse background is like, the severity, any mental health disorders, or medical conditions, as well as what you are looking to achieve in treatment. These assessments help Clear Behavioral Health create the appropriate treatment plan for you, so you are placed in the correct program for your recovery needs.
Medical Detoxification
When you go through medical detoxification, your body is detoxed of any substances, and this process is overseen by a medical professional. Having medical supervision is extremely important in case of any medical emergencies that can arise while detoxing. You can also be administered proper medication to assist with withdrawal symptoms. Timelines vary based on the substance that was being abused, but it can be anywhere from 3 to 10 days or more. Clear Behavioral Health has detox facilities in Los Angeles and medical support if you need to detox before entering your program.

Residential Drug and Alcohol Rehab
Our residential treatment program is great for people who need 24/7 supervision while going through recovery. When attending inpatient rehab, you’ll engage in evidence-based addiction and mental health treatment, individual therapy sessions, group therapy sessions, family sessions, addiction therapy, and holistic modalities. Each component contributes to your overall healing journey, since we believe true recovery results from treating the whole person. The daily structure within the program includes therapeutic activities to learn coping skills. Clear Behavioral Health has residential addiction treatment centers across Los Angeles.
Outpatient Treatment Options
Other than residential programs, we do offer outpatient programs as well. This means you can live at home while you attend a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP). This provides the flexibility you may need when it comes to your recovery journey, while still including all the great aspects like multiple therapy types and holistic modalities. The appropriate level of care is determined during our thorough assessment, so once you call Clear Behavioral Health, you’ll likely have a good idea of which program fits your needs.
Commonly Treated Substance Addictions
With addiction, there can be many different substances used. The most common substances treated at Clear Behavioral Health are:
- Alcohol: Alcohol tends to be a common substance that is abused in the United States. The withdrawal from alcohol can be extremely dangerous, which is why medical supervision is important.
- Opioids (prescription medications and heroin): This drug type is normally used to reduce pain. If misused, a dependence can result, along with turning to deadlier forms like heroin and fentanyl.
- Stimulants (cocaine, methamphetamine): Stimulants tend to be misused for focus and energy. These substances can be highly addictive if misused.
- Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin): These medications can be used for anxiety to quickly alleviate severe symptoms. If misused, it can quickly turn into dependence.
- Marijuana: Although marijuana is used medicinally by people, it can still be abused. There can even be fatal results since synthetic marijuana is becoming more common.
- Prescription medications: Even being prescribed medication by a professional can turn into substance abuse for some people. It might start as needing painkillers or stimulants, but it can quickly turn into dependence if not used properly.
