Our Addiction Treatment Programs in Los Angeles

The use of medical detox is essential for two primary reasons. First, withdrawal can be dangerous for those with moderate to severe substance abuse disorders. Depending on the substance or substances a person may be addicted to, withdrawal can even be a fatal process without medical assistance.

Depending on the substance being used and the severity of the disorder, typical withdrawal symptoms can include body pain, vomiting, restlessness, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. In severe cases, people may experience seizures, increased blood pressure and heart rate, fever, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts. Without medical detox, many people would become severely ill and possibly cause long-term damage to their minds or body.

The second reason medical detox is so necessary is that it makes sure that the person entering recovery will make it through to the other side. The symptoms associated with withdrawal can be so unpleasant. The cravings can become so severe that many people who attempt to detox themselves at home are likely to give in to the cravings and relapse before the recovery process even truly begins.

Medical detox is always the safest and most effective way to begin the journey towards recovery for people suffering from a substance abuse disorder.

Inpatient addiction treatment is when a person seeking to enter recovery enrolls in a program that requires them to live in the facility for some time. The success rates of inpatient addiction treatment are higher than outpatient programs. The higher rates of success are due to inpatient programs’ ability to offer 24-hour medical assistance, supervision, and emotional support.

Inpatient programs often use strict schedules to give those in the early stages of recovery structure to their days and distract them from outside concerns. The rigid schedule can be a vital part of the recovery process and something that many may struggle with losing upon exiting an inpatient facility.

While the success rates for inpatient addiction treatment are higher than other programs, there are some obstacles to face. Due to the cost of living, housing, and food that must be calculated into inpatient programs, the cost can be far more expensive than outpatient services. Inpatient programs also can completely disrupt a person’s life, at least for a time.

At AM Health Care, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) serves as a pivotal step in the continuum of care for individuals seeking recovery with a balance of structured treatment and personal independence. 

Designed for those who have completed detoxification or residential treatment, or for those who require substantial support without the need for round-the-clock supervision, our PHP offers a comprehensive, therapeutic environment that operates during the day. Clients in this program benefit from a robust schedule of evidence-based therapies, group sessions, and individual counseling, all facilitated by our experienced team of mental health professionals and addiction specialists. 

This level of care not only addresses the medical and psychological aspects of addiction and mental health but also focuses on developing life skills, relapse prevention strategies, and coping mechanisms. PHP at AM Health Care provides an ideal setting for clients to continue their recovery journey while gradually reintegrating into their daily lives, ensuring a smoother transition and a stronger foundation for long-term wellness.

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at AM Health Care is an essential component of our comprehensive care continuum, offering a flexible yet focused approach to addiction and mental health treatment. This program is ideally suited for individuals who have progressed through more intensive treatment phases, such as detoxification or residential care, and are ready to transition to a less structured environment. 

In the IOP, clients attend therapy sessions and activities for several hours each day, several days a week, while continuing to live at home or in a supportive living environment. This structure allows them to maintain their daily responsibilities, such as work, school, or family commitments, while actively engaging in their recovery journey. Our IOP provides a range of services, including group therapy, individual counseling, and skill-building workshops, all tailored to reinforce sobriety, manage mental health issues, and promote overall well-being. 

With a strong emphasis on relapse prevention and the development of healthy coping strategies, our IOP empowers clients to build a resilient foundation for long-term recovery and a fulfilling, substance-free life.

Outpatient mental health treatment is for people seeking mental illness treatment who do not necessarily require a prolonged stay at a facility. Outpatient services may be right for people who feel they can not leave their job or that the mental health challenge is not having an enormous enough impact on their daily life to check into an inpatient facility.

Services offered by outpatient mental health treatment facilities could include psychotherapy, medication management, or group counseling. Outpatient facilities usually provide a wide array of benefits, and it is entirely dependent on the needs of the individual seeking treatment.

Sober Living at AM Health Care represents a critical step in the continuum of recovery, offering a supportive and structured living environment for those transitioning from more intensive treatment programs. This level of care is designed for individuals who are ready to embrace a greater level of independence while still benefiting from a community focused on sobriety and mutual support. 

Our Sober Living homes provide a safe, substance-free space where residents can continue their recovery journey surrounded by peers who share similar goals and challenges. The environment fosters accountability, encourages the practice of skills learned during treatment, and supports the development of healthy routines and lifestyle choices. Residents are typically involved in ongoing outpatient therapy or support groups and are encouraged to engage in work, education, or volunteer activities, further promoting their integration back into the community. 

Sober Living at AM Health Care is not just about providing a place to stay; it's about nurturing a lifestyle of recovery, responsibility, and personal growth, laying a solid foundation for long-term success in sobriety.
