About Clearview Treatment Programs

Clearview Treatment Programs is an addiction and mental health treatment facility in Venice, California. They provide residential and outpatient services to adults who are attempting to cope with mental health struggles, substance use disorder and dual diagnosis concerns. The facility doesn’t accept Medicare or Medicaid, but they do take Anthem Blue Cross and Kaiser. They also have specific negotiated rate agreements with insurance providers like First Health and Multiplan PPO policies.They’re also willing to work with patients who want to pay directly for their treatment at a private pay rate.

Interested patients will first undergo an assessment to determine if the clinic’s services are a good fit. Clearview Treatment Programs primarily offers treatment for substance abuse, PTSD, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and dual diagnosis. They offer acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), as well as residential services.

One awesome thing to mention about Clearview is that the clinic has been nationally recognized as a leader in comprehensive DBT treatment for the past 20 years. Another notable feature is that Clearview is LGBTQIA+ affirming facility that offers gender inclusive mental health residential treatment. They also have specific residential programs that cater to women.

Another thing I like about Clearview is that their residential programs take a full body approach to health, considering the mental, emotional and physical aspects of recovery. They offer specific nutritional guidance education and recreational therapy options like gym outings, art therapy and mindfulness meditation. Even better, patients get to enjoy the peaceful scenery provided by Venice Beach.

There were many negative issues during my time at Clearview. My therapist (Remy) and the psychiatrist are not in this category. Also, for the most part, the techs were friendly. The issues were with the program (or lack thereof) itself. First of all, they told me that there would be 6 groups a day. There were never 6 groups a day. Also, I'm pretty sure that they were counting the morning/evening check-ins (which would last less than 10 minutes) and "morning mindfulness" walks (which were literally just short walks around the neighborhood) as groups. There were also legitimate concerns over whether a group would even be happening or not; a good amount of groups were canceled. Groups almost never lasted as long as they were scheduled for. The program is supposed to be DBT-based, and they gave us huge binders full of DBT worksheets. We almost never used them. We essentially weren't taught the foundational skills of DBT, so when asked about what skills we would use in certain situations, we couldn't even have any sort of meaningful discourse on what was presented. There were groups being conducted by techs, who are objectively not qualified to be conducting them. As far as the staff goes, their communication seemed to be almost entirely disjointed. You would ask a question and would get different answers from different people. Oh, and also, there was a kind of insane instance when the clinical director (Gillian) was supposed to conduct a group. Instead of doing that, she just hanged out with clients on the deck. Not sitting around and discussing anything of relevance to what the group was supposed to be about (or anything related to what the program is supposed to be). If I were to be asked if I believe that you or a loved one go to Clearview to get proper treatment, my answer would be a definitive no.

And to think I was going to leave a great review of this place. After hearing from clients that were apart of the Clearview program, I disgusted to hear what horrible experiences they have had. They fired all the staff that were popular and incredibly helpful, left the day groups to behavioral technicians that are not properly trained and let clients bully, assault and abuse each other. After hearing all this and finding out they are purposely removing clients who speak up from the alumni chat, I have absolutely nothing good to say. Shame on this company for taking advantage of people who are despot for help only to take their money and give them nothing to work with. I pray to see this place get the completely overhauled with a new team for the betterment of the clients or else I will be doing everything I can to get Clearview shut down FOR GOOD. Beware those struggling from any problem that you think deserves proper care and attention, Clearview will leave you emotionally disturbed by the end of your stay.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. This place is a walking HIPAA violation. Staff members contacting family members without ROI's. Fire permits are expired. Fights between clients. Gas leaks. Terrible, dirty, conditions.

Accepted Insurance

Clearview Treatment Programs works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

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.
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.
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.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

Family 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.

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.

Clearview has truly changed my outlook on life. it s been a wild ride for me, but the staff are so incredible, and i am so grateful for Anne, Daniel, Sandra, Elliot, Max, Jazz, Penny, Ben, and my therapist, Katya. Everyone has been so supportive and kind throughout my journey, whether it be me crying my eyes out over a small thing or crying over being homesick, the staff have been there for me. Katya has given me so many skills and knowledge about my therapeutic journey, and i am forever grateful for everything she has done for me.The groups here are phenomenal, and Narrative Therapy with Jessica is incredible.all in all, Clearview has given me the tools and the box to put together, and i am so grateful for everything they have done for me.

My experience at Clearview Residential in Venice was 5-Star from start to finish! I am so glad this is where I chose to do my residential treatment work! Every staff member contributed to improving me as a person and the curriculum was EXCELLENT. This program calls upon DBT Skills, along with other scientifically-proven techniques, to empower the individual along their recovery journey.My entire time at Clearview I felt safe and cared for! Dr. Benjamin is a skillful Clinician, and residents benefit from the care and concern of staff qualified MFTs. In addition, a number of Behavior Technicians also provided daily structure and curriculum which kept me engaged, interested and striving to become my best Self.Clearview Residential in Venice should DEFINITELY be your FIRST CHOICE for a living treatment center!

The Dual Diagnosis residential treatment program at Clearview left me with a lot of skills and hope I hadn t known before. I m now over a month sober, which is by far the longest I ever have been for many years, thanks to the huge help of Clearview and the incredible staff. Shoutout to some of the techs that really helped get me through it - Natasha, Layla, Irene, Jazz, Max, Evan, Penny, Emily, Jade, Logan, Eduardo, and many others including some great group leaders. As well as my amazing therapist Remi. And JoJo and Charles for cooking up killer dishes everyday and being hilarious and lighting up all the clients days. I made some special connections there that will stick with me for life. I definitely recommend the program for those struggling with Addiction and Mental Health Illnesses. It may have saved my life.

Deplorable. I had to remove my son from treatment after he was being harrassed and threatened by another client. Police had to be called, and still the staff did nothing. Chris, a tech I spoke with, was rude, unapolagetic, and very unhelpful. This is not a safe enviroment for treatment.

I thought Clearview was an amazing program because of the caring staff and peers, the DBT centred groups. I thought the food was really amazing. Going to the parks were really fun! I also loved when staff would bring their dogs to work. I definitely recommend this program to anyone who is struggling with mental health illnesses and BPD.

I really enjoyed my time at Clearview. The staff is so caring and committed to helping everyone's recovery. The food is AMAZING everyday. The classes are structured around the DBT handbok and I feel like I am leaving with many tools equipped for the future. Selene is an amazing therapist and Ann is an amazing tech and everyone else is also awesome but they are my favorites
