Northridge Addiction Treatment Center provides private residential addiction treatment and medical detox for Long Beach residents who want to leave the area for recovery, from its facility at 6215 White Oak Avenue in Encino. The program treats drug and alcohol addiction with co occurring mental health conditions, holds 12 clients, and prescribes methadone when clinically appropriate. A benefits check confirms coverage before admission.
Why leaving Long Beach for treatment can help
Choosing a program outside Long Beach is a deliberate decision that works for people who need distance from the environment tied to their substance use, and that is who this page is for. Long Beach has many local treatment centers, and for people who want to stay close to home, those are the right options. For others, the neighborhoods, the social connections, and the daily routines that surround their use are exactly what they need to step away from. Entering a residential program in another part of the county puts real distance between a person and the triggers of their everyday life. This facility offers that kind of separation, in a small private setting up in Encino.
The distance and what it means for residential care
The facility is in Encino, in the San Fernando Valley on the north side of Los Angeles County, a significant drive from Long Beach on the harbor side. That distance is the point rather than a drawback for someone specifically seeking treatment away from home. Because the program is residential, the trip happens at admission and at discharge, not daily, so the drive that would rule out an outpatient program is a one time consideration here. Clients live on site for the length of the program, which is what makes the geographic separation possible and useful.
What the residential program provides
Treatment combines medical detox, residential care, dual diagnosis treatment, and medication assisted treatment in one Encino facility. Detox runs first for clients who need it, under 24/7 physician care, to manage alcohol or drug withdrawal before residential programming begins. Residential care delivers individual counseling and group therapy grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and 12 step facilitation. Dual diagnosis care treats depression, anxiety, and trauma alongside the substance use. For opioid use disorder, methadone is available within a medication assisted treatment plan when the medical team determines it fits, and couples treatment is offered for partners entering together.
Who the program is for
This is a co ed residential program for adults 18 and older whose substance use has reached the point where getting sober at home is not realistic, and it is particularly suited to people who want to be somewhere other than home to do it. That includes people whose use is no longer manageable around work and family, people returning after a relapse, and people leaving a hospital or a detox elsewhere. We treat alcohol, opioids including fentanyl and heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and prescription medications. Anyone who needs psychiatric hospitalization or is actively suicidal is directed to a higher level of care first.
The small program and staying reachable
The program caps at 12 clients, so groups stay small and clinicians know each person rather than tracking a large census. Rooms are semi private, with private options for people who want more separation. Even while getting distance from Long Beach, clients keep approved access to phones and laptops, structured around the clinical schedule, so leaving the area does not mean losing touch with work or family entirely. For someone balancing the value of physical distance against real world responsibilities, that combination is the reason the small program works.
Sorting out insurance from a distance
We work with most major commercial insurance plans and verify your specific benefits before admission, which matters more when travel is involved, since a Long Beach resident is not driving up to sort out coverage in person. The benefits check happens by phone or through the form on this page, and the admissions team explains what your plan covers, what any out of pocket cost looks like, and the next step, all before anyone commits to the trip north. Coverage depends on your individual policy, so the honest answer comes from checking your plan rather than a general claim. Calling +1 (747) 293 4326 gets that answer in one conversation.
Coordinating the trip up to Encino
The facility at 6215 White Oak Avenue in Encino is reached from Long Beach by the 405 north through the West Side and over into the Valley, or the 710 to the 5 and across depending on the starting point. Because this is a one time trip for a residential stay rather than a daily commute, the admissions team can walk through the logistics when you call, including timing the drive around the assessment and admission. For families, the trip is made at admission and around visits rather than constantly.
