About Center for Discovery Thousand Oaks

Residential treatment provides around-the-clock care with licensed healthcare professionals in a structured environment. It allows clients to have a routine schedule, maintaining a greater sense of responsibility. Participants spend five to six hours per day in therapy, learning coping mechanisms and relapse prevention skills. Clients requiring higher-intensity addiction treatment may be referred to an inpatient alcohol or drug rehab program.

Partial hospitalization programs may include therapy, medication management, nutritional counseling, and meal supervision. Participants return home daily after treatment and, depending on individual needs, can expect programs to last from five to six hours per day. Some meals and snacks are provided at the facility, helping clients practice the skills learned in the program.

Their intensive outpatient program allows for more flexibility, as clients may continue to work or attend school while receiving treatment during evenings or weekends. You’ll continue therapy and/or the skills practice needed for life outside of treatment.

Aftercare programs enable a wraparound approach to support clients’ long-term recovery. These services may include online educational resources, weekly support groups, and access to the nationwide Discovery community.

Center for Discovery accepts multiple insurance plans, including Anthem BlueCross, Cigna, OPTUM, and Healthnet. Contact your insurance provider for specific details as out of network benefits may vary.

It's been 6 months since I left CFD Thousand Oaks and all I can say is how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to learn and grow here. I was a little hesitant after reading the reviews yet im glad I did not let that stop me from going. I was in the program here for a little over 3 months and thanks to the staff and my amazing therapist Stephanie, I was not only able to overcome my eating disorder but also discover more about myself! The program is very clear and straightforward about what to expect and how the day by day is handled. They even give you a booklet for the duration of your stay to use on the daily. The operations manager, Makayla, made me feel more comfortable my first week there and is so sweet. She really went above and beyond for the patients my entire stay. Erin, the Nurse Admin, would take time to teach and explain why physical symptoms would arise and even gave classes on how our bodies are impacted by eating disorders. The nurses and diet technicians really heard and understood my neurodivergent needs too! I feel like the approach to meals and food were very gentle even if the intergration process felt overwheming at times. I am grateful to my dietician Kylie, for being supportive and understanding when it came to eating. I learned how to eat alongside my sensitivies/sensory needs and not against it! At the end I felt well equipped to grocery shop for myself and maintain my newly developed eating habits. Some general counselors were amazing, others disappointed me. I want to say thank you to Kevin for being a shoulder to lean on and Gerald for the wonderful morning walks and enthusiasm. Juliet, who made the weekends bearable and Zaida who puts her whole heart into her work. The program on paper seemed easy for me. In reality, this was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done. I had to face myself. All my trauma, doubts, beliefs, and values. Things I believed to be true my whole life and having to accept that it was making me sick. I cried a lot, i laughed and smiled a lot too. I was angry, definitely wanted to leave at times, had panic attacks, felt like my world was ending, disagreed with staff, heck even screamed/sobbed and it was all worth it. I always felt supported, even in the most difficult of moments. I was heard and accepted here. At times, the groups felt redundant or i felt like I had too much free time. I later realized the more I worked the program the more I learned and even helped my peers by just participating in discussions. I also learned a lot from other women opening up in the groups and created bonds that exceed my time there. The group "Life Worth Living" was probably my favorite and still helps me to this day. Thank you therapist Bernice for hosting that group. I love how the program is structured to slowly give more agency and even deal with triggers/situations in a more controlled setting. Having therapy multiple times a week helped me process these exposures. Being able to see a physician and psychiatrist weekly were also very helpful to my recovery. I was helped in creating an exit plan for when I stepped down from residential and had a safety plan created in the event I needed extra support. I left with hope and excitement for what was in store next for me! Now there have been ups and downs. Recovery isnt linear nor pefect. At times, I continue to struggle with intrusive thoughts and the urge to use maldaptive coping skills. Despite that, I am able to use what skills ive learned at CFD Thousand Oaks and continue building my life worth living ❤️ Thank you Danisha, Cas, Stephanie, Bernice, Juliet, Kevin, Rob, Makayla, and Erin!!!

I keep getting text and email reminders to give my feedback so HERE IT IS: They really don’t even deserve 2 stars. Beyond a shitty place. The therapists are terrible and Have no experience or know what they’re doing and so are most of the staff there terrible. you’ll never see the supervisor/clinical director. They discharged me without telling me. I’m not sure if it’s just this location or the whole company that’s just simply TERRIBLE. Their whole thing with the chain analysis I found to be somewhat of a type of ‘abuse’. Their success rate is VERY LOW. Out of all the things they could’ve done right, the one thing they did right was referring me to clearview residential. They have a low rating for a reason, not cuz ppl are bored and have nothing else to do besides write reviews. THINK TWICE BEFORE COMING HERE!

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Center for Discovery Thousand Oaks works with several private insurance providers, 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

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

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.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Programs

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 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.

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.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

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.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
