About Tarzana Treatment Centers

Tarzana Treatment Centers is accredited by The Joint Commission and is a community based nonprofit. Adults, youth, and families can participate in multiple levels of care for addiction treatment. Medical detox, residential rehab (IP), various outpatient programs, and aftercare are available. You'll find 'em in Tarzana, California.

Whether you participate in inpatient or outpatient care, you can access several therapeutic interventions and additional services. You’ll benefit from proven approaches, like medication assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone, 12 Step programs, individual counseling, and recovery groups. These interventions can help you understand addiction and gain the skills to live a happier, healthier life while sustaining recovery.

One standout feature I noticed is their women’s services. They prioritize women and children by providing integrated care in each program. You and your kids can benefit from trauma-informed treatment, pediatric health screenings, nutrition education, parenting courses, and more. I love that they provide a safe space for these vulnerable populations to get back on their feet with encouragement.

I also like their additional services. Along with addiction and dual diagnosis treatment, you can participate in domestic violence intervention, HIV prevention, education workshops, and assistance with court-ordered services. Their multifaceted facility simplifies accessing essential services all in one place.

Another key feature is their youth recovery program. Just like their adult program, adolescents can find recovery with expert-backed approaches. This program focuses on recovery’s positive aspects by providing prevention services and treatment. They schedule outpatient programming after school so your child can still focus on their education.

They also make care accessible with telehealth. You can get the help you need from the comfort of your home, with online individual and group therapeutic sessions.

They also have some special tracks for veterans, but at other centers. They can refer you to other clinics in their network if you need acute care.

Hi, good afternoon my name is Ivan Villanueva and I was an in-house patient at Tarzana Treatment Center for 30 days and my experience there started off not so good but towards the end and when I say towards the end, I mean because I left sooner than I was supposed to stay because of personal reasons and it s not because I didn t want to stay there so back towards the end of my stay it got way better. Ms. Deborah TECH OMG she was so awesome and respectful towards me. If it was like that since day one things would ve been much better. And also the Counselors there not all but some need more professional training and more patience towards the patients that live there I know where not perfect but they should know better because some of them been in our shoes With that said I highly appreciated for the stay and I recommend anyone that wants A change in their life to go and check it out.. Take care and god bless RESPECTFULLY Ivan Villanueva P.S sorry I forgot louie he s A TECH there he s cool A s well

I ve been to this place TWICE, as part of their outpatient program, granted a long time ago (2015ish). Upon getting there, I was scared to even enter the building! The kinds of people who go there (the majority) are the kinds of folks you would find in prison: rough looking, tatted from head to toe, disheveled and dangerous looking. I get the fact that looks don t necessarily mean much still, that whole scene scared the crap out of me! Now in the weeks I was a patient, not once did I speak to a doctor. The therapist I had weekly sessions with ended up talking about herself, her life, her own struggles with addiction (she had been clean 8 yrs at the time) way more than she cared to listen to me and my problems. After 5-6 sessions, I knew more about her life than she did mine! She even told me that- jokingly. Yeah, to me that wasn t as hilarious as it was to her. Their therapy groups were a joke. The leaders of said groups acted at best like we were a burden, and at worst they d mentally check out and let the group do whatever!The last time I was there, and the reason I left: I was approached by a guy in my therapy group, and he proceeded to try to do a . deal ! Yes, he was offering to sell me stuff It Took all my strength to simply turn my back to him and leave! For the following FIVE WEEKS I was struggling with my stupid brain telling me to go back to the group, find the guy and take him up on his offer! That f-ed with my head in a major major way and put me on the slippery slope to one of the worst depression episodes I ve ever had to endure. But I stayed clean. With some crazy, major effort on my part and my family s and my friends !This wasn t the only treatment center I ve gone to. I ve been to a total of 5 centers- 2 of which were inpatient. What I learned is that none of these centers care all that much about their patients! They care about the $. Keeping their business afloat. They actually don t even pretend to care! They re rude, have zero compassion and act as if you re a burden and a lowlife, no matter how you present yourself, how polite and respectful you are. It s a business, a for profit business. They all are. Hence their priority is making money. It seems like their second priority should be treating patients- but it sure doesn t feel that way. It seems like the patients are a huge bother and they d rather not even set eyes on patients!If you re homeless and struggle with addiction and have NOBODY, then go! It s better than sleeping and withdrawing in the streets! But if you have a home, family, friends who are willing to help, you would be much much better off enlisting their help and doing this at home. I d also advise to get a therapist you can see weekly, and then go to NA/AA or if you hate those, try Smart Recovery meetings (non religious, and they try to empower you rather than putting it in god s hands; I think he s busy enough lol). Also go see a regular doc, tell him you re about to detox and ask for some comfort meds for the acute withdrawal. Unless you re withdrawing from alcohol or benzos- then you need a medical setting to detox, due to the risk of seizures that could be fatal. But definitely don t come to this center! You most likely will see an actual doctor only once- when you first get there, if you re an inpatient; or you won t see a doctor at all if you re outpatient.Of the few treatment centers I ve gone to, this is by far the worst!I wasn t going to review them coz I was thinking maybe they got better. But upon seeing that s not the case, I decided to put in my 2 cents, so people can make the decision to go here or not, based on as many reviewed experiences as possible. If you re struggling with addiction, find hope! It s possible to get free of this horrible monkey on your back! Keep in mind when you re in the acute part of w/d, and PAWS, you need positivity, care- that makes ALL the difference! And these centers cannot provide that!

Accepted Insurance

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

Managed Health Network (MHN)

Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

PHCS (Private Healthcare Systems)

Holman Group

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Aftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.

24-Hour Clinical Care

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

Medically 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. Tarzana Treatment Centers - Oxnard Steet inpatient setting is designed for teens and adults to undergo a safe detoxification in a positive and comfortable setting. Their Medical Director, Duane Carmalt, MD, has over 20 years experience in treating addiction. Patients receive alcohol and drug treatment and guidance from highly trained staff of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, drug and alcohol counselors, dietitians, and recreation therapists. The staff assesses both the medical and emotional needs of each individual, and medical, psychiatric, and psychological services are provided, as necessary. Medical and emotional stabilization are key components of this program, along with making concrete plans for continued treatment and recovery with the aid of case managers and program staff.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had an appointment for a referral. The front desk staff was friendly and kind. When the medical person came to take me in and take my vitals, she was very unpleasant. I think she was Russian. Idk since her name tag was covered up. She just seemed really annoyed during the procedure. Afterward, I waited for 40 minutes. I know doctors are very busy, so I know appointments are delayed. But still, 40 minutes is a bit long. When the doctor finally arrived. Amber, i believe, was her name. She was in a rush to shoo me out. First, she didn't apologize for the long delay, and secondly, she just asked asked me 3 questions. She wasn't engaged with me, nor did she seem to care if I had anything else to say. Her demeanor made it difficult for me to ask any questions. All in all, a 40-minute wait for a 2 interaction with the doctor who isn't engaged with the patients.

Our son entered rehab on a Thursday. They were detoxing him from alcohol and cocaine. By the time Saturday rolled around treatment was so poor. Spoke to one psychiatrist on Friday. Was asking for help and wanting to speak to someone. He voluntarily left treatment with no ID or cell phone Feeling scared and all alone. He walked a half a Block from the facility. Met up with some drug addicts and OD. Fortunately, he survived.I would not recommend this facility to anybody. We went to get his belongings and everything was stolen. And they didn t return his meds.

It took me every ounce of my existence to gather the courage and will-power necessary to pickup the phone and dial that number and admit that I need help, and to my complete disbelief the girl who answered the phone was the most inappropriate and misplaced person for that role. She had no time to explain anything, was condescending, annoyed, and acted like I'm being a major inconvenience by simply asking very basic and necessary questions such as "do you accept my insurance?" Or "do you have availability?"If this is the face of the clinic and the first encounter, I can only imagine how the rest of the crew can be like.... No thanks, not for me. I don't need your attitude in my life in any capacity let alone trust these people with the most vulnerable times of my life.

This center does not do health evaluations. There are 20 beds in one small bedroom. At night, you will not be safe; my items were stolen. There are no security guards or staff patrols. "Patients," a.k.a. homeless people, smoke and do drugs inside, and the staff does not say anything. This facility is not a rehab center but a homeless drug shelter.

This place is exactly what I needed to put much needed distance between me and my drug use. The directors care about you guys, they can t work miracles but they will show up every day to make sure you have a clean bed to sleep in, access to programs that are beneficial to you, and counselors who actually want to help you. Staff will do everything in their power to make sure you are in a safe space to recover.
