West Valley Detox specializes in providing medically assisted detox and residential treatment for dual-diagnosis disorders but also includes holistic and experiential elements. In a comfortable, contemporary setting, clients will experience 24-hour care that licensed clinicians provide in a 3-to-1 clinician-to-client ratio. Clients experience luxurious, pet-friendly accommodations, including a swimming pool and nutritious, chef-prepared meals. Clients will support their healing with access to personal trainers, art therapy, adventure therapy, grief counseling, and yoga.
During and after treatment, West Valley Detox helps clients find and develop support networks, including peer-support recovery groups and organizations. Families and friends are encouraged to support their loved ones’ treatment by joining counseling and participating in their aftercare. The Alumni Program offers support group meetings, community service and volunteer opportunities, and social activities like hiking, movie nights, and group retreats.
West Valley Detox accepts insurance plans from carriers like Beacon, Anthem, Magellan Health, Kaiser Permanente, and BlueCross/BlueShield. Intake coordinators will help determine levels of coverage and co-pays, but potential clients should check with their providers to verify drug rehab coverage and any out-of-network benefits.
Our Methodology
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.

Medically Assisted Detox The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.
While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.
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.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
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.
Eye Movement Desensitization And ReprocessingFamily 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.
While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.
Substances can prevent the absorption of nutrients and cause damage to your body's systems. Nutrition therapy in California addresses the deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that are caused by substance abuse.
The goal of creative arts therapy in California is to encourage growth and transformation. It can be used in individual and group settings with both children and adults. Options include movement, music, and painting.
The use of experiential therapy can be helpful for the treatment of behavioral disorders, including drug and alcohol addiction. This method teaches you how to release negative emotions and cope with pain from the past. Activities such as art, music, and animal care are used to facilitate this process.

Best drug rehab in Los angelea
My best friend was extremely anxious and hesitant
I’ve had the distinct privilege of knowing the owner of West Valley Detox both professionally and personally, and I can confidently attest to the caliber of care and integrity with which this facility is operated. West Valley Detox stands out in an industry that can often feel impersonal or transactional. The team here is deeply committed to individualized, evidence-based treatment, and their approach is rooted in genuine compassion and clinical excellence. Clients are not only treated with dignity and respect but are supported through every stage of their recovery with an uncommon level of attentiveness. The facility itself is thoughtfully designed—clean, calming, and conducive to healing. What impresses me most, however, is the culture of transparency and ethical leadership that permeates the organization. It’s clear that long-term recovery, not short-term optics, is the driving force behind everything they do. This is a place led by people who truly care, and who bring both heart and expertise to one of the most critical journeys a person can undertake. I recommend West Valley Detox without reservation.
Life changing experience! Unbelievable staff and facility! I would recommend this to anyone that is trying to change their life!
