Painkiller Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles, California
Struggling with painkiller addiction?
You don’t have to face it alone.
Painkiller addiction can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling trapped and exhausted from its grip. Opioid medications prescribed to treat pain, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, or morphine, may have initially brought relief but can quickly spiral into dependency.
If you’ve found yourself unable to cut back or stop entirely, only to be met with intense cravings or withdrawal symptoms, know that you don’t have to face this alone. At Clear Behavioral Health, we’re here to help you overcome drug addiction with compassion and expert care.

Our residential rehab for painkiller 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
If painkiller addiction is severely impacting your ability to function in daily life—such as maintaining work, relationships, or self-care—our residential treatment program may be the best fit. Here, you will benefit from round-the-clock support, a safe and medically supervised detox process, and comprehensive therapy in a structured and comfortable environment.
Our residential facilities provide:
- Semi-private rooms with comfortable and warm beds.
- In-home meals and laundry access.
- Group outings.
- Access to a wide range of therapy options.
Residential care allows you to step away from the triggers of everyday life and focus solely on your recovery in a nurturing and healing environment.
Safely detox from painkillers
Detoxing from painkillers can be dangerous without medical supervision. At Clear Behavioral Health, our detox program ensures a safe and monitored withdrawal process, helping to manage symptoms and discomfort.
During the first week of your stay, our clinical team will provide 24/7 care to help you transition off painkillers safely and effectively in a home-like environment.
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.
Group therapy
Daily group therapy sessions help you to build a supportive network of peers and explore therapeutic techniques like CBT, mindfulness and art therapy.

What is painkiller addiction?
Painkiller addiction or opioid use disorder occurs when the use of opioid-based medications becomes compulsive and uncontrollable, despite harmful consequences. Often prescribed for injuries, surgeries, or chronic pain, these medications are highly effective for short-term pain relief but carry a significant risk of dependency with prolonged use.
When opioid addiction develops, the brain and body become reliant on painkillers to function, leading to cravings and withdrawal symptoms when the medication is reduced or stopped. Addiction often shifts the focus from managing physical pain to avoiding the painful effects of withdrawal.
Painkiller addiction is a national health crisis and complex disorder requiring medical and therapeutic intervention to achieve recovery.

Signs and symptoms of painkiller addiction
The signs of opioid abuse and painkiller addiction can vary but often include:
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop or reduce use despite trying to quit.
- Tolerance: Needing larger doses to achieve the same effects.
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Sweating, nausea, restlessness, and irritability when not using the drug.
- Mood Changes: Depression, anxiety, or agitation.
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Ignoring work, school, or personal obligations.
- Secrecy: Hiding use from family and friends.
- Physical Symptoms: Constipation, drowsiness, or frequent flu-like symptoms.
- Behavioral Changes: Lying to obtain prescriptions or “doctor shopping.”
- Risk-Taking: Driving under the influence or using painkillers in unsafe situations, including drinking while taking them.
Different types of painkiller addiction
Painkiller addiction can vary depending on the medication being used:
- Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet): Known for its powerful pain-relieving properties, oxycodone dependency can develop rapidly.
- Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Norco): Commonly prescribed for moderate to severe pain, hydrocodone addiction often involves tolerance and withdrawal symptoms.
- Morphine: Often used in medical settings for severe pain, morphine addiction can lead to intense cravings and physical drug dependence.
- Codeine: Found in some prescription cough syrups and mild pain relievers, codeine addiction often begins with casual use.
- Fentanyl: A synthetic opioid significantly stronger than morphine, fentanyl addiction carries a considerable risk of overdose and death.
Each of these prescription painkillers has unique characteristics, but all carry the risk of drug abuse, opioid dependence, and addiction.
