Northridge Addiction Treatment Center provides private residential addiction treatment and medical detox for Pacoima residents, from its facility at 6215 White Oak Avenue in Encino, a short drive south across the Valley. 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.
A private residential option between two extremes
For a Pacoima resident searching for treatment, the local options tend to fall at two ends: community and county funded programs on one side, and distant luxury resorts on the other. Both serve a purpose, but neither fits everyone. This program is the practical middle: a private residential facility on commercial insurance, a short drive south in Encino, that is neither means tested nor priced as a destination retreat. For someone with commercial coverage who needs live in care and wants it close to home rather than in Palm Springs or the Hollywood Hills, that middle option is what has often been missing nearby.
When the county route is the better fit
If you have Medi Cal, are uninsured, or need low cost care, the county funded and community providers are the right path, and we will tell you so directly. Pacoima and the surrounding area have community mental health and safety net programs built specifically for those situations, and the Los Angeles County Substance Abuse Service Helpline can connect you to them. This facility serves people with commercial insurance or the means for private pay. Being honest about that distinction saves everyone time, and if the county route fits your situation better, the admissions team will point you there.
What the residential program includes
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, managed under 24/7 physician care to bring alcohol or drug withdrawal under control before residential programming begins. Residential care then 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 treats
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. It fits people whose drinking or drug use is no longer manageable around work and family, people coming off a relapse, and people leaving a hospital or a detox elsewhere who need structured live in care. 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 close to home
The program caps at 12 clients, which keeps groups small and clinician attention high, and clients keep approved access to phones and laptops during residential treatment. For a Pacoima resident with family close by, the short distance south to Encino means a residential stay does not put a person far from home, and families can stay involved throughout. Rooms are semi private, with private options. The small size keeps care individual rather than institutional, which is much of the appeal for people choosing this over a larger program.
Confirming coverage from Pacoima
We work with most major commercial insurance plans and verify your specific benefits before admission. Coverage for residential treatment depends on your individual policy, so rather than list carrier names that may not apply to you, we run a real benefits check and give you the actual answer. Verification takes a few minutes by phone or through the form on this page, and the admissions team explains what is covered, what any out of pocket cost looks like, and the next step. If a public program turns out to be the better route, they will say so. Calling +1 (747) 293 4326 gets the same information in one conversation.
Driving down from Pacoima to White Oak Avenue
The facility at 6215 White Oak Avenue in Encino is a short drive south of Pacoima, down the 405 or on surface routes through the central Valley toward Encino. It is a straightforward trip on the Valley floor rather than a long haul. Because the program is residential, the drive is made at admission and discharge rather than daily, and the short distance keeps families close enough to stay involved throughout the program.

Yes, a short drive south in Encino. Our facility runs a private 12 client residential program with medical detox on site. It is a commercial insurance option, distinct from both the county funded programs and the distant luxury resorts that dominate local search results.
What if I have Medi Cal or no insurance in Pacoima?
The county funded and community programs are the right route for Medi Cal or uninsured care, and the LA County Substance Abuse Service Helpline can connect you to them. Our program serves people with commercial insurance, and we will point you to the county route if that fits better.
Where is the closest detox near me if I live in Pacoima?
