Center for Discovery Beverly Hills offers a range of inpatient treatment programs. Clients receive a personalized evaluation and care plan. Clients experiencing severe chemical dependency may be referred to an inpatient, high-intensity alcohol and drug rehab specializing in dual diagnosis care, if needed. Clients also engage in individual and group therapy, adventure therapy, art and music therapy, equine therapy, yoga and meditation, and sound baths. The center utilizes various approaches including acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and exposure response prevention (ERP).

Clients participate in individual and group therapy, multifamily therapy, and a focus on a transition into safe, everyday living.

Brooke is so funny and amazing, and it makes the meals great, I don t have an eating disorder but I came to see what the hype was about, you get free meals and snacks with your insurance if you say that have an eating disorder which I had never heard of before. They even let you cook with George. Brooke is the one with heterochromia and blue eyes. One thing if you come here, stay away from Tremontana go to the coffee shop across Wilshire. They don t stalk you there.

Accepted Insurance

Center for Discovery – Beverly Hills works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.

The goal of couples therapy in California is to strengthen the couple's relationship. The therapist may take one or more approaches to counseling which may include the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy, behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic couple's therapy.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

Truly from the bottom of my heart, CFD Beverly Hills has begun to transform my life. Prior to starting my PHP treatment here, I was struggling in various aspects of my life such as school, work, and personal relationships. CFD BH continuously welcomes me with open arms everyday, ready to challenge my thoughts and maladaptive coping mechanisms. We have various group classes/conversations about topics such as DBT, living in your body, recovery life skills, menu planning, kitchen skills, and so much more. We also have about three one on one sessions per week with a clinician. I am beyond grateful for the staff, clinicians, dietitians, and everyone who helps me everyday here. I love this place so much I can’t express it in words. Thank you CFD Beverly Hills for beginning to transform my life, I look forward to continuing my treatment here and stepping down levels. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is ready to challenge their ED and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Strength and power to everyone reading this!

The Beverly Hills location is quite amazing. The staff are so kind, very welcoming, very understanding, super accommodating, and they incorporate a level of flexibility to help patients feel more comfortable. They are very proactive about new food items to provide for the patients. They have very great one on one conversations with each patient and they truly do their best at helping us through recovery, while also allowing us to go at a comfortable pace.

All of their staff are trainees - it’s like a training ground rather than a real medical facility. Instead of teaching us how to have a relationship with food in a way that’s conducive to our goals of recovery, they teach their patients that being healthy is bad and the consequence of this is that anyone who expresses a desire to recover from their disorder by eating meals with nutrition is discouraged. They shouldn’t be teaaching us being healthy and eating nutrients is bad, they should be re educating us as to what that means for us on an individual basis. Further to that, my therapist had so many mental health isssues of her own, it was concerning. Instead of leading process groups, she’d join in on them. They don’t know the first thing about nutrition and actively discourage their patients from learning about nutrition.

If I could rate it any lower I would. They made me sign a non-disclosure agreement which means there would have been ramifications if I criticized their program while attending it. I am speaking for the Lakewood, Los Alamitos, and Beverly Hills location. The Beverly Hills location was slightly more organized and strict then the rest, I'll give them that. However, the pervasive ideology did not really help me at all. The therapists were even slightly threatening at times. My family did not have the financial resources to help me, so we went to DCFS for aid. The social worker from DCFS was the main threatening force and the therapists just played along with it. They attempted to squeeze as much money out of DCFS as possible by extending my stays in residential and PHP. I told them what they were doing would not be fruitful. Holding someone there with the looming threat of being separated from their family due to Anorexia is pitiful as a motivating force. I am glad I signed myself out of there upon turning 18. I am in a much better place now doing this on my own. It's been difficult, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The groups are boring, useless, and overly abundant, especially in the residential setting (i.e. Lakewood). As for the Los Alamitos location, I wasn't able to request a transfer to the Beverly Hills location during my time because my twin brother was going to be transferred there. That would have saved us hundreds in Uber fares! My Mom used up our savings to transport me to this excuse for a PHP facility. Sure, some of the people are nice, but their groups are ineffective, pre-planned, dare I say, "cookie-cutter" activities with very little substance. Now, on to the Lakewood location. The staff was really kind, but they blatantly try to deceive you. I can only speak for myself, but when I asked them why they were giving me Ensures, there reasoning was to get my heart-rate beyond 50 bpm when I am sleeping. Now, prior to my arrival there I was engaging in physical activity and trying to eat well; however, when coupled with my family's genetic trend of low heart-rates and low blood pressure, it would be logical to assume that I would have a low heart-rate. When I asked how exactly feeding me nutritionally devoid, pharmaceutical supplements (that's really what the company Abbot deals with, they are a "medical" center (they don't refer to themselves as such though) after all) would help me, they told me I would gain weight, that the extra calories would only help my heart. I guess the doctor forgot her basic Thermodynamics because she was plainly wrong. They made me gain an exorbitant amount of weight. I left there at around 115 lbs (I am only around 5'4). I had always been extremely thin and underweight, even prior to the development of this illness, and I felt extremely uncomfortable in that weight. It seemed they only got me there as a contingency because they feared I would lose it upon release. Maybe they did it because of a warped perception of how males should weigh, I don''t know. NOW I WILL ADDRESS SOMETHING OF EXTREME CONCERN, the medications. The psychiatrist's answer to everything is to increase the dose. Why provide anorexics with medication designed for schizophrenics? Why give them medication with extreme side effects, such as an increase risk for strokes, cancer, etc.? As for there reasoning, it had to do with Serotonin Reuptake this and that and "it will help with rumination and your thoughts", which they don't seem to comprehend completely either. Bottom line, the only program that I would recommend is not this "franchise". I cannot specify which location is actually beneficial and utilizes techniques that are peer-reviewed (unlike this company using their own research), but I hope you find it because I ruined my chances in the place that I am referring to (NOT CFD) due to not complying. Overall, I can't tell you to stay away. Who knows, it might work for you, if you or your kid can tolerate being a room with other kids with similar or the same condition ("wow what a great idea, huh?").
