About Balance Treatment Center

Balance Treatment Center is in Calabasas, California. They offer an extensive personalized approach for anyone who needs help with both mental health issues and co-morbid substance abuse through its dual diagnosis program. The center focuses on comprehensive co-occurring disorder treatment that is both holistic and integrative, meaning it gets to the root of addiction doing more than just treating symptoms. This integrated strategy is designed to promote recovery and acknowledges that mental health and substance use are strongly interrelated.

Balance Treatment Center also offers an array of ancillary mental health services beyond dual diagnosis, including partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for both adults and adolescents at different stages in their lives. Clients also participate in skills-building, individual and group therapy services, as well as family involvement to enhance resiliency and coping capabilities.

The treatment center is creating a comprehensive plan specific to you, giving patients the option of diverse and personalized options based on different levels of service including both inpatient rehab or outpatient programs.

The facility offers many insurance plans to make treatment more accessible. However, details vary so calling the center is helpful for understanding if they are likely to accept your specific plan.

They also emphasize family education and support to help loved ones learn how to be part of the solution instead of adding more problems. And that holistic mindset allows clients to process every facet of their life so they are provided with long-term relief and support in the recovery journey.

I went to Balance Treatment Center in 2018. It was very nerve racking but the staff was super comforting! Everyone was very professional and made all the rules very clear. I learned SO MUCH in the month that I was there. I went to their outpatient program after leaving the residential house to continue group therapy. I learned my triggers and signs and can prevent 90% of my panic attacks. I cannot thank this team enough for their care.The food was AMAZING too.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Our Policy: Balance Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Balance Treatment Center - Las Virgenes Road's Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) are for anyone who may benefit from a stronger source of support and structure in their path toward growth. This type of treatment can serve as a form of aftercare following inpatient or partial hospitalization or as an option for those who find that individual psychotherapy alone is not an adequate source of support for addressing their concerns. Their programs provide structure, support and guidance while allowing clients to remain active in their lives by maintaining daily routines such as work or school.
outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

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.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
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.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. 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 thumbnail image
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. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Horse-assisted therapy is extremely effective in treating a variety of psychological issues. There are both physiological and psychological benefits gained from interacting with horses. These include lowered heart rate and blood pressure, decreased stress, reduced feelings of anger, tension and anxiety, improved social functioning, and increased feelings of empowerment, trust, patience, and self-esteem.

EMDR is often used for PTSD but has also been shown to be effective for panic disorder, addictions, and specific phobias. Clients bring to mind an emotionally unpleasant belief about themselves as related to a difficult event. With these images in mind, clients are asked to pay attention to an outside stimulus, such as eye movement. Faced with the difficult event, the brain is often overwhelmed, making it difficult to process information normally. The event may be repressed, and the act of remembering it can trigger the “fight or flight” response. EMDR works by building new connections between these difficult events and positive beliefs within other areas of the memory.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation. Multi-Family Groups are designed to develop an alliance between the client, family, providers and others in the support network. Their team works to help inform family members about mental illness, develop communication skills and problem solve. The goal is to provide understanding and support the so client may live the most fulfilling life possible.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

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. Each client will be assigned an individual therapist. In Balance Treatment Center - Las Virgenes Road's Residential Program, clients will see their therapist on a daily basis. In their Intensive Outpatient Program, individual therapy is offered on an as-needed basis. In individual therapy, clients are able to explore what may be contributing to their symptoms and gain insight into underlying issues.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Motivational Interviewing will help clients believe in their ability to change. It helps clients take personal responsibility for initiating and sustaining healthy behavior. Motivational Interviewing normally includes problem-solving and solution-focused strategies that build on clients’ past success. The therapist will listen empathically and interview with purpose, to encourage the client to find discrepancies between reaching their life goals and the consequences of continuing to go on as they have without making changes.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health. Balance Treatment Center - Las Virgenes Road believes in a farm-to-table approach to food preparation at Balance. Foods are sourced locally and used seasonally. This philosophy in cooking offers their clients the freshest and healthiest fare available. Foods are prepared just days from harvest and are at their peak of flavor and nutritional value. Organic dairy products, sustainable meats and seafood, non-GMO and natural products are used to prepare meals. Their approach is a fusion of healthy California cuisine combined with the comforts of home, traditional home-style cooking made lighter and healthier.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I m going to be very frank with this review because Balance deserves it since what they did to me was incredibly wrong and heartless and I know they know that, any self-aware individual would. I worked at Balance for 7 months. I was a Mental Health Technician and enjoyed it for the most part. It was an easy job, I worked with clients who had an array of rare and common disorders and most importantly, it added to my resume. A client contracted Covid, they discharged and then 2 more clients caught it. During this time they still were mandating the technicians to come in and naturally, I refused knowing that COVID was actively present in the residential. Mind you, I live with someone who has cancer, so my responsibility was different and seeing I worked for therapists, I thought they would be understanding and empathetic, but I was sadly mistaken how naive of me. It is a business after all. Jenny Rogge, the Program Director, could have cared less because well, she didn t have to deal with it herself since the therapists have the option to do Telehealth and not physically be in the facility. I was terminated through email in conjunction to my attendance , which was the only legal way for them to fire me. My attorney told me that if this would have happened a month or two ago, I would have been able to file a lawsuit, unfortunately the timing did not match up and they got away with it. Interestingly enough, the residential has recently shut down due to not having enough workers. You reap what you sow. I write this review for anyone wanting to work here and to be wary of these people and know what they did to a past employee.

Balance Treatment Center has excellent people working for the company. They are very professional and caring and most importantly they take your case as a human. They have an excellent facility in Calabasas and all their team went out of their way to help me and my daughter. I strongly recommend their professional help and i really appreciate all of your staff for handling our case so delicately, professionally and furthermore, giving us the benefits that was not on their contract. Trying to help clients in this line of work is one of the most complicated experiences in the world and God try us for extra challenges for some reason that I do not really know and I am glad that Balance has a professional, and caring team that they put themselves into your shoes.You can not go with that team and thank you again Balance for your sincere approach to our particular difficult case. Belive me, they are not after money, they are there to help.

Response from the owner7 years ago
Ferhan, thank you so much for the excellent review. We strive to give each and every person who visits us personal attention and an individualized experience based on their needs and situation. It sounds like that it exactly how you feel about your time here, and that brings us great satisfaction. Thank you for taking the time to share your expression. You are correct: our aim is to help others, not ourselves.
