About Invigorate Behavioral Health
Invigorate Behavioral Health is located on North Mariposa Avenue in metropolitan Los Angeles, California. Invigorate is a modern, home-like facility with spacious, bright and airy living quarters and communal gathering spaces. They offer inpatient treatment, detox and stabilization, therapy services and counseling on-site, with referrals provided to offsite facilities and community programs. They assist clients with recovery from substance abuse disorders and mental health issues.
Home-Like Modern Setting Provides 24/7 Supervised Care
When you first arrive at Invigorate for intake, the staff treats your withdrawal symptoms with medication-assisted treatment like Suboxone or Ativan or Valium. That’s to help in managing your pain and your withdrawal.
They also provide you with therapy and emotional support. They offer 24/7 supervision and mental and medical support during your entire experience. Their home-like setting provides a space for comfort and healing. Their typical detox experience lasts from 3-5 days.
During Stabilization, Counselor Formalize Treatment
While you’re experiencing stabilization, a care provider will work with you on arranging additional treatment care through therapy, counseling and inpatient care at their facility. Staying at Invigorate can alleviate the challenges relating to transitioning into another facility with an unfamiliar care team. Their inpatient approach provides educational workshops, group and individual holistic therapy and counseling and the tools to contribute to independent care and sober-free living.
Follow-up Aftercare Support
Their inpatient care program can last from 28-90 days, depending on the level of care and treatment you may need to get to a desired state of recovery. They fully prepare each client who leaves their facility for a life of sobriety and independent living. However, they are always there to support you should you experience relapse or are faced with a situation or environment that may lead you to relapse.
Latest Reviews
After years of battling alcoholism, I finally surrendered and flew out to LA from St. Louis, MO to get into recovery. I entered the detox facility on 5/21/2025, graduated to the sober living facility on 6/22/2025 and graduated the IBH program today on 9/18/2025. I had been wanting to live a sober life for years, but I never had the strength to do it by myself. IBH gave me that strength. I learned a lot about my disease here, a lot about what makes me “me,” and I learned how to not only live sober, but also live happy. They say the disease of addiction is a life or death situation. This program helped me save my own life. The friends I’ve made along the way, the community I was immersed in, and how welcoming the staff made me feel has helped me build a strong, healthy foundation for life long sobriety. I’m 120 days sober, and I’m happy to say that I’m part of the IBH family.

It’s a miserable daily struggle for our addictions but they top it off with gross negligences to the facilities, and my god, the staff have no credentials and repeatedly tell patients that they have the power to f$ u over. Class example: called “pencil dicks” because left arms are so muscled. Again run from this place.
Thank you to the amazing Techs Sara, Vanessa, Chase, Matt, John, Ryan and Savannah. You guys definitely made me feel at home, and were there when I needed you.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient
Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.
Inpatient
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.
Medically Assisted Detox
When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.
Treatments
Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined by alcohol dependence. This is a state the body reaches when it experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absence of alcohol. A person who has AUD craves alcohol and continues to drink despite adverse consequences. Because withdrawing from alcohol can pose health risks, individuals with AUD should seek professional alcohol rehab in California to overcome their alcohol addiction. This process typically involves medical detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance.

These rehab programs typically encompass various levels of care, including medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization.

Programs
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.

Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free.

They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.
