๐Ÿ’Š Opioid Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles

Evidence-based outpatient opioid addiction treatment at our Joint Commission accredited facility in Mission Hills, Los Angeles. PHP, IOP, and MAT programs. Most insurance accepted.

What is Opioid Addiction?

Opioid use disorder (OUD) affects an estimated 2.7 million Americans. It can involve prescription painkillers (OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet), heroin, or synthetic opioids like fentanyl. OUD is a chronic medical condition โ€” not a moral failing โ€” and responds well to medication-assisted treatment combined with therapy. The earlier treatment begins, the better the outcome.

โš ๏ธ Warning Signs of Opioid Addiction

1
Physical DependenceWithdrawal symptoms when missing doses โ€” sweating, body aches, anxiety.

3

4

5

How We Treat Opioid Addiction in Los Angeles

At Exclusive Recovery Centers in Mission Hills, opioid addiction treatment combines medication-assisted treatment (MAT), evidence-based therapy, and recovery support tailored to opioid use disorder (OUD). Whether your addiction started with prescription painkillers, heroin, or fentanyl, our outpatient program meets you where you are โ€” without judgment.

Our Opioid Treatment Program Includes:

๐Ÿ’Š Medication-Assisted Treatment

FDA-approved medications manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, giving you a stable foundation for lasting recovery.

๐Ÿง  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

One-on-one sessions with licensed therapists identify the thoughts and behaviors driving use, then build healthier coping strategies.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Group Therapy & Peer Support

Daily groups break isolation, build accountability, and provide real-world tools from peers who understand.

๐Ÿ  Outpatient PHP & IOP

Our PHP and IOP programs let you receive intensive treatment while living at home.

๐Ÿง˜ Holistic Therapies

Yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and poetry therapy address the emotional and spiritual sides of addiction.

๐Ÿฉบ Dual Diagnosis Care

Most opioid addiction co-occurs with anxiety, depression, or trauma. Our dual diagnosis program treats both simultaneously.

โš ๏ธ Opioid Withdrawal: What to Know

Opioid withdrawal is severely uncomfortable but rarely life-threatening: muscle aches, anxiety, sweating, runny nose, diarrhea, intense cravings. Peak intensity at 48-72 hours, lasting 5-10 days. MAT with buprenorphine or methadone makes withdrawal manageable and significantly reduces relapse risk.

โ“ Frequently Asked Questions About Opioid Treatment

How long does opioid rehab take?

Most opioid treatment programs at Exclusive Recovery Centers last 60 to 120 days. PHP runs 4-6 weeks; IOP continues 12+ weeks. Long-term MAT is often recommended โ€” research shows MAT for 1+ year significantly improves outcomes.

Is opioid withdrawal dangerous?

Opioid withdrawal is severely uncomfortable but rarely life-threatening: muscle aches, anxiety, sweating, runny nose, diarrhea, intense cravings. Peak intensity at 48-72 hours, lasting 5-10 days. MAT with buprenorphine or methadone makes withdrawal manageable and significantly reduces relapse risk.

Does insurance cover opioid addiction treatment?

Yes. Under the Affordable Care Act and Mental Health Parity Act, most insurance plans are required to cover substance use treatment. Exclusive Recovery Centers accepts 8 major insurance providers. Verify your specific benefits free in under 2 minutes.

Can I work while in opioid treatment?

Many of our IOP clients continue working part-time during treatment. Our outpatient model is specifically designed so you don't have to choose between recovery and your responsibilities. Evening and weekend sessions are available.

What's the difference between PHP and IOP for opioid?

PHP (Partial Hospitalization) is more intensive โ€” typically 5-6 hours per day, 5 days a week โ€” best for people in early recovery or stepping down from inpatient care. IOP (Intensive Outpatient) is 3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week, designed for people balancing recovery with work, school, or family.

How fast can I start treatment?

We offer same-day admissions when clinically appropriate. Call (747) 500-7070 and you can speak with an admissions specialist immediately. Most clients begin treatment within 24-48 hours.

Is opioid addiction treatment confidential?

Absolutely. All treatment at Exclusive Recovery Centers is fully HIPAA-compliant and confidential. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides additional protections for substance use treatment records โ€” stricter than standard medical privacy.
