Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Los Angeles, CA

You need medical detox first if your body is physically dependent, which is the case with regular alcohol, benzodiazepine, or opioid use. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life-threatening, so both are managed under 24-hour nursing with physician oversight. Our clinical assessment determines whether detox is medically necessary before residential treatment.

Drug detox and alcohol detox at New Spirit Recovery average 7 to 10 days, and extend to 10 to 21 days when medical necessity requires it. Three days is rarely enough for physical dependence. Length depends on the substance, how long and how heavily it was used, and any co-occurring medical conditions, so no one is discharged on a fixed calendar.

Benzodiazepines take the longest, because they are reduced with a gradual medically supervised taper rather than stopped, and that taper can run well beyond a standard detox. Alcohol and opioid withdrawal typically resolve within about a week of acute symptoms, while stimulant withdrawal is shorter but brings heavy fatigue and low mood.

You likely need inpatient drug rehab if you have lost control over substance use, failed attempts to quit, or have a co-occurring mental health disorder. Medical detox is required first for alcohol, benzodiazepine, or opioid dependence.

Residential treatment at New Spirit Recovery is typically part of a 35-day course, with the exact length set by medical necessity and clinical progress. Detox usually accounts for the first 7 to 10 days. Programming runs six hours a day, seven days a week, and step-down care extends support after discharge.

You qualify for inpatient rehab through a clinical assessment using ASAM criteria, which weighs withdrawal risk, medical conditions, mental health, relapse history, and your recovery environment at home. Insurance authorization follows that assessment. Our admissions team completes both during your first call, often on the same day.

The main levels are medical detox, residential or inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient (OP), with sober living as a housing support alongside them. New Spirit Recovery provides detox and residential treatment directly and coordinates PHP, IOP, OP, and sober living through a vetted network.

Yes. New Spirit Recovery offers inpatient drug rehab through residential treatment and coordinates step-down outpatient programs including PHP and IOP. Whether inpatient or outpatient rehab is appropriate depends on the severity of your substance use disorder, your medical needs, and the level of support you have at home. Our clinical team assesses each case individually and recommends the level of care most likely to produce lasting recovery.

Rehab cost depends primarily on your insurance coverage rather than a fixed program price. For clients with PPO plans, out-of-pocket expense is the deductible, coinsurance, and any copays. Our admissions team verifies your benefits in real time during your first call and quotes an actual number for detox, residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient care. We handle authorization, including Single Case Agreements for HMO and EPO plans, with no hidden fees or surprise bills.

Most private PPO plans cover drug rehab and alcohol rehabilitation at New Spirit Recovery in Los Angeles. We work with Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, and MultiPlan, and accept TRICARE and TriWest for eligible veterans. Coverage is routinely better than people assume, so it is worth checking before ruling treatment out. We verify your benefits free during your first call, whether or not you come here.

No. New Spirit Recovery does not accept Medicaid, Medi-Cal, or Medicare for detox or residential treatment. If that is your only coverage, our admissions team will point you toward Los Angeles County resources and the Substance Abuse Service Helpline rather than leaving you without a next step. Cash pay is available here, and an admissions counselor can walk you through what that involves.

Many clients use the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and short-term disability to protect income and employment during treatment. Our case managers complete the paperwork and coordinate with your employer or benefits administrator. Read more about medical leave for drug rehab.

We offer FDA-approved MAT medications for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder, managed by our Medical Director and Nurse Practitioner with weekly minimum consultations.

Medication management also covers comfort medications during detox and psychiatric medications for dual diagnosis conditions, including antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-benzodiazepine anti-anxiety options, and antipsychotic medications where clinically indicated. Every client meets the medical team within 24 hours of admission for a medication evaluation. See our MAT program.

If you have depression or anxiety along with your addiction, we deliver integrated dual diagnosis treatment that addresses both conditions at the same time. Our program treats substance use disorders alongside depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder through coordinated medical and clinical care. Our Medical Director and Nurse Practitioner manage psychiatric medications while licensed therapists deliver CBT, DBT, EMDR, and ACT. Treating both conditions simultaneously reduces relapse risk and closes the gaps created by sequential care models.

Your family participates throughout your entire treatment stay rather than being limited to a designated family weekend. Our clinical team provides ongoing family therapy, family education about addiction and recovery, communication skills training, and healthy boundaries work so family members learn how to support recovery without enabling. Families maintain contact during your stay and participate in discharge planning. See family services.

Contact us immediately if you relapse during treatment. We evaluate what happened without judgment and adjust your clinical approach based on triggers, circumstances, and warning signs that were missed. Relapse does not mean treatment failure, it means the plan needs to change, potentially increasing intensity, addressing underlying trauma more directly, or extending your residential stay. After completing treatment you can return to programming if relapse occurs, and alumni support remains available indefinitely through aftercare coordination.

After treatment you transition into a structured aftercare plan designed to maintain progress and reduce relapse risk. We coordinate step-down care to PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs either locally in Los Angeles or in your home state through our national referral network, connect you with therapists, psychiatrists, primary care providers, and sober living options, and provide referrals to 12-step meetings, recovery coaching, employment services, and legal support as needed. Full clinical documentation transfers with warm handoffs, which eliminates the dangerous gap between residential discharge and outpatient treatment.

Yes. We treat gambling addiction, sex addiction, and all cross-addictions where a substance use disorder is also present. Browse every addiction we treat.

The Rewired curriculum, developed by co-founder Erica Spiegelman, runs here and nowhere else. Beyond that: an approximate 1:1 staff-to-client ratio at 6 to 12 beds per location, a veteran track staffed by Green Beret trauma therapists, dual diagnosis care for severe mental illness that many facilities refer out, same-day admission, and weekend community integration instead of keeping clients inside until discharge. Small enough that the clinical team knows your name.

Yes. New Spirit Recovery accepts same-day admission at our Los Angeles facilities when it is clinically appropriate, rather than placing you on a two to four week wait list. Admissions verifies insurance during the first call, completes the assessment, assigns a property based on census, and arranges local transport or a flight.

On the first day of treatment in Los Angeles you complete intake paperwork, including consent forms, HIPAA agreements, and emergency contacts. A licensed clinician conducts a comprehensive assessment covering substance use history, mental health, medical conditions, trauma, and treatment goals. Nursing staff performs a medical evaluation with vital signs, medication review, and withdrawal monitoring. You meet your care team, receive a facility tour, and are introduced to other clients. You receive your first meal with the community and may attend your first group session depending on arrival time.

Bring valid photo ID, your insurance card, a current medication list with prescription bottles, and comfortable clothing for daily activities. Pack toiletries, athletic wear for wellness activities, and court documents if you are on probation or parole. Our admissions team provides a detailed packing list during your initial call. Missing items should not delay admission, because we can arrange delivery of forgotten items or purchase necessities locally. Leave valuables, large amounts of cash, and weapons at home.

If you are not ready to quit completely you can still enter treatment and begin at your own pace. We use a nonjudgmental motivational interviewing approach to explore your relationship with substances without pressure, and you remain in control of your goals. Many clients start treatment feeling uncertain and gain clarity through assessment and early clinical work. You do not need to commit to lifelong abstinence before beginning care, because treatment itself often shifts readiness for change.

If you are on probation or parole you can still enter treatment and remain compliant with all court requirements. We work directly with probation officers, parole officers, and drug courts to provide progress reports, attendance verification, and required documentation throughout your stay. Our case managers coordinate drug testing schedules, court appearances, and supervision conditions, and many clients attend treatment in place of incarceration. Legal involvement does not disqualify you from care.

The common signs of drug and alcohol addiction are loss of control over substance use despite attempts to quit, continued use despite negative consequences, and developing tolerance that requires higher amounts for the same effect. Physical signs are withdrawal symptoms, changes in appearance, weight fluctuations, and sleep disturbances. Behavioral indicators include neglected responsibilities, withdrawing from family and friends, secretive behavior, financial problems, and dishonesty about use. Psychological signs include mood swings, anxiety, depression, and difficulty functioning without substances.

The common signs of mental health disorders are persistent sadness or hopelessness lasting weeks, extreme mood swings, and social withdrawal. Anxiety presents as excessive worry, panic attacks, racing thoughts, and physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat. Depression includes loss of interest in activities, sleep and appetite changes, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death. PTSD involves flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness. Bipolar disorder shows manic episodes alternating with depression. Schizophrenia includes hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. OCD manifests as intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

To help a loved one struggling with addiction in Los Angeles, start from the understanding that addiction is a medical disease, not a moral failing. Express concern from love during a calm moment when they are sober, discussing specific behaviors you have observed. Avoid enabling, which means not giving money, not making excuses, and not rescuing them from consequences. Research treatment options in advance so you are ready with information when they express readiness. Set healthy boundaries while remaining emotionally available, and consider Al-Anon for family support. If they agree to treatment, act quickly and contact our admissions team for same-day placement before motivation fades.
