Choosing Outpatient Rehab for Life in Calabasas
Outpatient rehab in Calabasas is a strong fit when you are ready to change and have a stable, supportive place to come home to each day. It gives you real structure and clinical care while you keep up the parts of life that matter, so recovery becomes something you build into your week rather than step away from. For Calabasas adults, that means staying close to the people, routines, and community that support you. You practice new skills in your real life as you learn them, which is often what makes recovery hold. Many choose it after completing a higher level of care, and many begin here from the start when their situation suits day or evening treatment.
This is a great path when you have support at home, dependable ways to get to sessions, and the motivation to do the work. If a safe, medically supervised start to recovery is needed first, our team coordinates that for you and welcomes you into outpatient care as soon as you are ready. As you grow steadier, a clear aftercare plan keeps your progress strong long after structured sessions ease, so the support continues as long as it helps.
The Substances We Help Calabasas Adults Recover From
We treat the full range of drug and alcohol addictions in adults, with a plan shaped around the substance and your goals. Our care covers:
- Alcohol
- Opioids, including fentanyl and prescription painkillers
- Cocaine and other stimulants
- Methamphetamine
- Adderall and prescription stimulants
- Cannabis
- Nicotine
Whatever brought you here, your plan is built around your health, your history, and the life you want to get back to. Many adults manage a substance problem privately for a long time, holding down a career and a family all the while, and our program is built for exactly those people in and around Calabasas who want real treatment without stepping out of their lives to get it. When more than one substance is involved, we treat the whole picture together rather than one piece at a time.
Outpatient Levels That Grow With Your Recovery
Three outpatient levels let your care rise and ease with your progress, so support always matches the moment. You begin at the level your assessment recommends, ease into lighter care as you gain ground, and leave with an aftercare plan that keeps your recovery strong.
| Level of care | Schedule | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Partial hospitalization (PHP) | Daytime treatment across most of the week | Early, focused recovery work |
| Intensive outpatient (IOP) | Up to five days a week | Keeping momentum while you return to work or school |
| Standard outpatient (OP) | A lighter, steady rhythm | Protecting your progress over the long term |
| Evening program | The same clinical care in the evenings | Full work and family schedules |
An evening program brings the same clinical care to your evenings, which fits the many Calabasas adults with full work and family schedules who want treatment that flexes around them.
Inside Your Addiction Treatment Plan
Treatment here blends proven therapy with medical support, so you heal in mind and body together. Individual therapy and group counseling do the core work, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build the skills that make recovery last. EMDR therapy is available for Calabasas adults whose recovery is connected to a past experience, helping those memories settle. For medication-assisted recovery, our medical team offers medication-assisted treatment matched to what you are treating: Suboxone for opioid use, and Vivitrol for opioid or alcohol use. Each medication is paired with counseling so the two work from one plan. Our on-site psychiatric team also cares for any depression, anxiety, or other mental health needs alongside recovery through our dual diagnosis care, giving you one coordinated team. Family sessions and mindfulness practice round out a well-balanced week.
Outpatient and Inpatient Rehab: Finding Your Fit
Outpatient and inpatient rehab each shine in different moments, and the right choice is simply the one that fits where you are. The Calabasas area is surrounded by residential and luxury programs that ask you to move away for weeks, and for some people that immersive start is the right call. For many others, especially adults with a job, a home, and a family to keep steady, staying in their own life while they recover is what makes the change stick. We are an outpatient program, so you live at home and keep your routines while you receive structured care. When a medically supervised detox or a residential stay is the better first step, we help you arrange that care. You can then move into our outpatient program as soon as you are ready.
Paying for Rehab With Your Insurance
For most Calabasas adults, a commercial health plan carries a real share of outpatient drug rehab, and the open question is usually how much rather than whether. We read your specific benefits first and walk you through the deductible, any copay, and what prior authorization your plan expects, so the numbers are clear before day one. The carriers we work with in and out of network include Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, UMR, Anthem, GEHA, Blue Shield of California, and Kaiser Permanente, alongside most major commercial plans. Send the short verification form or call us, and you will hear back with a plain-language read of your coverage.
Recovery Support for the Calabasas Community
Calabasas is a close-knit Los Angeles County community of roughly 23,000 at the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, where a fast pace of life can make it easy to put your own recovery last. Flexible outpatient care is built for exactly that, fitting treatment around your work, your family, and your routines rather than asking you to step away from them. For service members and veterans in the area, a dedicated veterans and active-duty program supports service-related experiences and addiction together, with the same team coordinating every part of care.
The Clinicians Standing Behind Your Recovery
Behind your recovery is a licensed team that stays in step with each other. Licensed therapists and counselors lead your day-to-day sessions, while a psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioners handle evaluation and any medication under our Medical Director. Because both sides share one plan, a change on the clinical side reaches the medical side quickly, and nothing you tell one has to be repeated to the other. The program holds licensure from the California Department of Health Care Services and accreditation from The Joint Commission, and a board-certified adult psychiatrist reviews the medical content on this page.

Questions Calabasas Residents Ask About Drug Rehab
How Does Outpatient Drug Rehab Work?
Outpatient rehab brings you in for scheduled therapy and medical care while you live at home and keep up daily life. You attend group and individual sessions several times a week at the level that fits you, and the hours ease as you grow steadier, so support is always matched to where you are in recovery.
How Many Hours a Week Is Outpatient Treatment?
It depends on your level of care, and your assessment sets the right amount for you. Partial hospitalization offers the most daytime structure, intensive outpatient runs up to five days a week, and standard outpatient keeps a lighter rhythm, with day and evening options so treatment fits your schedule.
How Long Does Outpatient Rehab Take?
Length is set by your progress rather than a fixed calendar, and your care team reviews it with you along the way. Many people spend more time in structured care early on and then step down to lighter sessions as they grow steadier, so you stay exactly as long as the support is helping.
What Substances Do You Treat at Your Calabasas-Area Program?
We help adults recover from alcohol, opioids including fentanyl and prescription painkillers, cocaine and other stimulants, methamphetamine, prescription stimulants such as Adderall, cannabis, and nicotine. When more than one substance is involved, we care for the whole picture in one coordinated plan.
Can Medication Help With Opioid or Alcohol Recovery?
Yes. Our medical team matches the medication to what you are treating: Suboxone for opioid use, and Vivitrol for opioid or alcohol use. Either one is paired with counseling so medication and therapy support each other. Your psychiatric team manages it closely and adjusts it with you as you progress.
Will Outpatient Rehab Fit Around My Job and Family in Calabasas?
Yes. Every level of care here is outpatient, so you sleep at home and hold on to work, school, and family commitments while you treat your recovery. Evening and online sessions exist for exactly the Calabasas adults whose weekdays are already full, letting treatment sit inside your schedule instead of replacing it.
Do You Treat Addiction Alongside Anxiety or Depression?
Yes. Our dual diagnosis care treats addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions together with one coordinated team, so your therapy and psychiatry work from a single plan. Caring for both at once gives you the strongest, most lasting results.
What Happens at the First Appointment?
Your first visit is a clinical assessment that reviews your history, your health, and your goals, then sets the right level of care. From there, a clinician maps out your therapy and any medical support. Your schedule is built around you so you can begin promptly.
