Addiction treatment at Northridge Addiction Treatment Center is residential rehab and medical detox at 6215 White Oak Avenue in Encino, CA, for adults facing drug and alcohol addiction and co occurring mental health conditions. The facility holds 12 clients at a time, prescribes methadone when clinically appropriate, and allows approved phone and laptop use. Insurance verification takes a few minutes.
Where the facility sits in Encino
Our facility is at 6215 White Oak Avenue in the Encino Village neighborhood, a residential part of Encino near Encino Park and the Sepulveda Basin, minutes from the 101 with access to the 405. Encino residents reach us without leaving the neighborhood, and the location draws people from the surrounding communities of Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, Reseda, and Woodland Hills who want treatment close to home rather than across the hill in West Los Angeles. The building holds a single 12 client residential program, not a high volume outpatient operation, so the quiet streets off White Oak Avenue are the everyday approach for families bringing someone in for admission.
Who this program treats
This is a co ed adult residential program for people who need to step out of their environment to get sober, not a weekly outpatient clinic. It fits someone whose drinking or drug use has reached the point where living at home makes stopping impossible, someone coming off a relapse, or someone leaving a hospital or a detox elsewhere who needs a structured place to continue. We treat men and women 18 and older for alcohol, opioids including fentanyl and heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and prescription medications, along with the depression, anxiety, and trauma that often sit underneath the substance use. People who are actively suicidal or need inpatient psychiatric hospitalization are referred to a higher level of care first.
What medical detox looks like here
Medical detox at our Encino facility is the first stage for most clients, managing withdrawal with 24/7 physician care before residential treatment begins. Detox matters because withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines can be dangerous, and opioid and stimulant withdrawal, while rarely life threatening, is severe enough to end most attempts to quit at home. Our medical team evaluates each person on arrival, manages symptoms around the clock, and where appropriate begins medication assisted treatment, including methadone, to stabilize opioid withdrawal. Detox runs into residential care in the same facility, so no one is discharged into a gap between stopping use and starting treatment.
Residential treatment and daily structure
Residential treatment is a live in program where clients stay on site and move through clinical programming each day rather than commuting to sessions. Days combine individual counseling, group therapy, and evidence based work built around each person’s history. The clinical model uses cognitive behavioral therapy to address the thinking that drives use, dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation, and 12 step facilitation for those who want a peer recovery framework. Because the program caps at 12 clients, the staff to client ratio stays high and the groups stay small, which is the practical difference between this and a large bed facility. Rooms are semi private, with private room options for clients who want added privacy.
Therapies and medication assisted treatment
Treatment here combines behavioral therapy with medication assisted treatment when it fits the clinical picture. CBT and DBT are the core modalities, delivered in both individual and group settings, and dual diagnosis care runs alongside so mental health conditions are treated in the same program rather than referred out. For opioid use disorder, we prescribe methadone as part of a medication assisted treatment plan when the medical team determines it supports stable recovery. Couples treatment is available for partners entering care together. Clients keep approved access to phones and laptops, which lets people hold onto work and family responsibilities instead of disappearing from their lives to get well.
Addiction therapy in Encino beyond detox
Addiction therapy in Encino covers the counseling and behavioral work that continues after withdrawal is over, and it is where most of the lasting change happens. The individual therapy relationship, the group sessions, and the dual diagnosis work address why the substance use started and what has to be different for it to stay stopped. For people searching specifically for addiction therapy rather than detox, that clinical work is the center of the residential program, not an add on, and it continues through the full length of stay.
Insurance and paying for treatment
We work with most major commercial insurance plans and verify your specific benefits before admission, so you know what is covered before treatment starts. Verification takes a few minutes by phone or through the form on this page, and the admissions team walks through what your plan covers, what any out of pocket cost looks like, and what the next step is. Even if you do not see your provider listed anywhere on the site, you may still qualify for coverage, which is exactly what the benefit check confirms. If you would rather not submit anything online, calling +1 (747) 293 4326 gets the same answer in one conversation.
Getting to our Encino facility
The facility is at 6215 White Oak Avenue in Encino, reachable from the 101 Ventura Freeway and the 405. From Sherman Oaks or Studio City it is a short run west on the 101; from Woodland Hills or Tarzana it is an eastbound trip on Ventura Boulevard or the freeway; from the north Valley communities of Reseda and Northridge it is a straight shot south down White Oak Avenue or Reseda Boulevard. For families coordinating an admission, the Encino location keeps the drive inside the Valley rather than sending anyone over the pass into West Los Angeles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a detox center near me in Encino?
Yes. Our facility on White Oak Avenue in Encino provides medical detox on site, with withdrawal managed under 24/7 physician care before residential treatment begins. Most clients move from detox directly into the residential program without changing locations.
Where is the closest residential rehab to Sherman Oaks or Tarzana?
Our Encino facility is minutes from both, just east or west along the 101 and Ventura Boulevard. It is a 12 client residential program, so admission is by assessment rather than a waitlist, and the small size means clients from neighboring communities are not competing for a bed in a large facility.
Do you treat mental health conditions along with addiction near me in Encino?
Yes. Dual diagnosis care is part of the residential program, so depression, anxiety, and trauma are treated in the same place as the substance use. There is no separate referral to a different provider for the mental health side.
Can I keep working during treatment at your Encino center?
Yes. We allow approved phone and laptop access so clients can stay connected to work and family during residential treatment. Access is structured around the clinical schedule rather than open all day.
Does the Encino facility prescribe methadone?
Yes. We prescribe methadone as part of medication assisted treatment when the medical team determines it is clinically appropriate for opioid use disorder. It is one option within the treatment plan, decided case by case.
How many people are in treatment at once?
The program is capped at 12 clients at a time, and it is co ed, serving men and women 18 and older. That small limit is the reason the groups stay small and the staff to client ratio stays high, which is the main structural difference between this facility and larger Valley rehabs.
How quickly can someone be admitted?
Admission starts with a short assessment and an insurance check, both of which can happen the same day you call. Once benefits are confirmed and the clinical team reviews the assessment, admission can often follow quickly.
Verify your insurance now or call to talk through admission for yourself or someone in your family. The team confirms your benefits, answers what treatment at our Encino facility involves, and helps you take the next step the same day.
