Addiction treatment in Northridge
Northridge drug rehab, Northridge detox and Northridge alcohol addiction treatment all run from one address, under the same California DHCS license as the Tarzana and Encino houses. Raymer Street is a compound rather than a single house, which gives residential addiction treatment room the smaller addresses cannot offer.
The Northridge program treats alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, stimulant use disorder, benzodiazepine dependence and polysubstance use. Every client works to an individual treatment plan built from an intake assessment, with individual therapy, daily group work and case management. Read more about residential addiction treatment.
Detox runs under physician oversight with 24-hour nursing, and lasts 7 to 10 days for most clients. Nursing staff monitor withdrawal throughout, and medication-assisted treatment protocols manage symptoms where a physician prescribes them. Therapy and case management begin during detox rather than after it. Read more about medically supervised detox.
Integrated dual diagnosis treatment treats post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder alongside the substance use disorder, inside one plan rather than two. New Spirit Recovery does not provide primary psychiatric treatment, and refers a person without a substance use disorder to a provider licensed for that care.

Inside the compound
The Northridge compound is designed around six private bedrooms and three large shared rooms with private bathrooms. Room types vary between the two properties, and admissions confirm what is available on the day rather than in advance.
Space changes what a residential day can hold. Group therapy runs in a room built for it rather than a converted lounge. Clients who need quiet between sessions have somewhere to take it. An in-house chef prepares meals in the kitchen, and residential programming runs six hours a day, seven days a week.
The residential stage
Residential treatment at Northridge is the stage that follows detox, and it runs a structured clinical day rather than a supervised stay. Detox and residential together typically form a 35-day program, with length of stay set by medical necessity and clinical progress.
The clinical day combines individual therapy, group therapy, trauma-focused work and case management. Clinical direction across all three houses sits with Sean O’Neill, MS, LMFT. Dr. Patrick Lockwood, PsyD, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, advises on treatment planning and on managing a crisis when one arrives.
Weekends at Northridge carry community integration work rather than empty time, which is where a client tests what the week’s therapy actually changed.
Licensed capacity
Raymer Street is licensed for twelve beds across two adjoining properties. One six-bed property is operating now, and the second is in transition for licensing, so admissions confirm exactly what is open before a bed is held.
A six-bed operating census sets the ratio between clients and clinical staff. With that census the nursing team carries each client’s withdrawal picture in their heads rather than looking it up. Groups are large enough to hold a real argument and small enough that no one sits them out unnoticed.
Bed availability at Northridge changes daily. Admissions staff confirm what is open at Raymer Street on the first call, and can check the Tarzana and Encino houses in the same conversation when Northridge is full.

Paying for treatment
Northridge admissions bill PPO health plans as an out-of-network provider. Benefits are checked while you are still on the line, so nobody holds a Raymer Street bed without knowing what their policy pays.
Admissions read the three figures below out of your own policy documents and quote against them, rather than giving you a range that turns out not to apply.
Medicaid, Medi-Cal and Medicare cannot be billed. An HMO or EPO policy goes forward for single case agreement review. Cash pay is quoted directly. how insurance verification works.

After the compound
New Spirit Recovery delivers medical detox and residential treatment at its own licensed houses. It does not operate a partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, or outpatient program, and coordinates placement into those levels with vetted partner programs.
Discharge planning begins on day one at Raymer Street, not at discharge. The clinical team sets a trajectory and a timeline in the first days, so the step down is designed by the people who have treated the client.
A clinician decides whether partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient or outpatient care is the right next step. Since New Spirit Recovery refers this care rather than delivering it, nothing about that judgment is self-serving.
Housing after residential treatment is arranged alongside the clinical referral, with partner programs across the north San Fernando Valley or in a client’s home state when they are returning.
Leaving Raymer Street does not close the file. Alumni services stay open to former clients, wherever in the country they settle afterward.
The local picture
Overdose deaths in Los Angeles County fell for a third consecutive year, reaching 2,298 accidental drug overdose and poisoning deaths in 2025, down from a peak of 3,220 in 2022.
One group moved against that trend. Deaths among county residents aged 65 and over rose 14 percent while the total fell 6 percent. Older adults are the population least likely to be described as having an addiction and most likely to be taking prescribed medication alongside alcohol, and Raymer Street admits from that group.

Common questions
At the Northridge compound, detox and residential treatment together typically form a 35-day program. Length of stay is set by medical necessity and clinical progress rather than by a fixed number, and the clinical team reviews it throughout the stay.
The level of care sets it. Detox at Northridge runs 7 to 10 days for most clients, and up to 21 where medical necessity requires. Residential care follows, and the two stages together usually total about 35 days.
A lockdown facility holds people who cannot leave, which generally means a psychiatric hospital operating under a legal hold. New Spirit Recovery is not one. Raymer Street is a voluntary residential program, and clients take part by choice.
An intake assessment sets the treatment plan. Detox manages withdrawal under medical supervision. Residential treatment then runs a structured clinical day of individual therapy, group therapy and trauma-focused work, six hours a day, seven days a week. Discharge planning runs alongside it from day one.
Sober living placement is arranged by the Northridge case management team alongside the clinical referral, with partner programs across the north San Fernando Valley or in a client’s home state. It is planned during the stay rather than at discharge.
Yes. The Northridge compound is designed around six private bedrooms and three large shared rooms with private bathrooms, across two properties licensed for twelve beds in total. One six-bed property is operating now. Private rooms depend on availability, which admissions confirm on the first call. The Tarzana house also has two private single-occupancy bedrooms.
There is no single figure, because length of stay and policy terms both move it. Raymer Street bills PPO plans out of network, and admissions read the caller’s deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum before a bed is held so the number quoted is theirs rather than an average. Self-pay rates are available on request.
Private health insurance covers most admissions here. Raymer Street bills PPO policies out of network, and the deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket cap written into that policy decide the rest. Medicaid, Medi-Cal and Medicare are outside what this house can bill. HMO and EPO policies are put up for single case agreement review. Self-pay pricing is quoted on request.
A statewide average is not a useful number, because what a person pays depends on their own plan’s deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum. Admissions staff read those terms with the caller and give the figures for their specific plan rather than a California average.
Yes, where both are present. The DHCS license held by New Spirit Recovery covers substance abuse treatment and dual diagnosis, so a condition such as post-traumatic stress disorder or major depressive disorder is treated alongside the substance use disorder at Raymer Street. Someone whose difficulty is psychiatric alone is referred out, because primary psychiatric treatment falls outside that license.
The compound sits at 17516 Raymer Street, Northridge, CA 91325, in the northern San Fernando Valley with access from the 118 and the 405. It serves Northridge, Granada Hills, Chatsworth, Porter Ranch, Reseda, Canoga Park and Van Nuys.
Same-day admission to Raymer Street is available when it is clinically appropriate and a bed is open. Admissions answer 24 hours a day. If Northridge is full, admissions staff can check the Tarzana and Encino houses in the same call.
