Are you wondering because your alcohol or other drug use is having a negative impact on your relationships? Your career? Your physical health? Your ability to cope with life's everyday stressors?
These are common indicators that substance abuse might be affecting your well-being and quality of life—and that you could possibly benefit from treatment.
To get a better sense of your situation, reach out to a Betty Ford Center care navigator. You can speak confidentially and at no cost to gain a better understanding of how addiction is assessed and what kinds of help and services are available.
You can also ask our care navigators for specific information about our outpatient programs in Los Angeles, including:
We do not provide alcohol or drug detox at our Los Angeles outpatient clinic, but our Rancho Mirage inpatient treatment center has an on-site medical unit for detoxification services.
Drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be unpredictable and severe, so it's advised to seek out medically supervised detox services. In addition to safely and comfortably withdrawing from addictive substances, the detox process relieves drug cravings so you can focus your attention more fully on treatment.
Telehealth conferencing has opened the doors to rehab in LA to more people than ever—offering the a comparable level of care but more convenient than in-person sessions.
The Betty Ford Center's virtual IOP program could be an ideal addiction treatment solution if you have accessibility or mobility concerns or you aren't located in Los Angeles or near any of our facilities in southern California.
As you begin your recovery from active addiction, you will find that your new sober life takes patience, practice and a daily commitment to maintaining your health and well-being. That's because you are essentially learning new way of living—replacing substance use with healthy new routines and behaviors.
Hazelden Betty Ford's online, in-person and digital resources and services are designed to help you strengthen your sober lifestyle and build recovery that lasts. These resources include:
Substance use issues often occur in tandem with other emotional or mental health challenges. Clinicians at the Betty Ford Center in West Los Angeles specialize in evidence-based treatment of co-occurring disorders. This means that mental health services and therapies are integrated into your addiction treatment plan by counselors and therapists who have expertise in dual diagnoses.
Our licensed mental health staff provide consultation and counseling to help you work through anxiety, grief, depression, PTSD and other challenges. Virtual care services include individual appointments as well as couples and family counseling.
Note: Outpatient mental health services are available to the general community, not only individuals who come to the Betty Ford Center for addiction treatment.
