Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

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.

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.

Our Policy: Van Nuys Medical & Mental Health Services works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Check icon Accreditations

SAMHSA

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Established in 1992 by congress, SAMHSA's mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on American's communities.

I transfered to the van nuys office about 2 years ago from the newhall clinic where I was a patient for like 6 years or longer. If you need help and want to get your life back this is the place to go. They will even get you transportation to and from facility as often as you need. The staff is super friendly and will help anyone who asks for it. Would recommend this FaciLity to anyone who needed it.

I saw Ramona Fluellen getting arrested. I know she has a record for identity theft. This place will let anyone work for them. And her criminal record is current from 2021 online. I remember her pretending to meet with clients but never meeting them.

Horrible employees. No one answers phones. I waited for over a yr for a referral. They hang up on you. My pharmacy needed a fax to refill a prescription ive been using for yrs. No one has sent the fax. With countless calls. If you're only going to have 1 person there to handle everything why be open. Its time consuming, inconvenient and rude employees. These people are incapable of helping people. My lawyers are even trying to call to finalize a case NO ONE ANSWERS. Just close the clinic akready and portraying that you help people. For being 'medical and mental' they sure know how to make a person feel worse. Do not go to this clinic plz. Its a waste of your time and energy. I made an appt. Took the hr 45 min bus ride to find it completely closed.

Absolute worst medical office I've ever had in my whole life. I became their patient in April/May 2020, it took MONTHS of calling (my last attempt was in November) and appointments just to try to get the REFERRAL to see an optometrist. My doctor and the entire staff kept telling me to keep calling again in a couple weeks and that I didn't need a referral, but every time I called VSP (the optometrist line) the person on the phone would say the same thing every time, which was that I needed a referral from my doctor first. I called VSP and my doctors office a dozen times about this and in the end they just told me the same incorrect information despite that I told them they were wrong and should double check this because I've just been in a loop for 5-6 months, they were never able to get me to see a optometrist, trying to set up an appointment with my doctor (and just a phone call appt since covid) took 2-3 weeks. It sucked and was insane how poorly organized this place was. Whenever I was able to speak to someone they had attitude, I heard my doctor yell at some staff on a couple occasions, he was snippy with me sometimes too. I was just totally uncomfortable, felt like they didn't care about me at all, and that they had no idea what they were doing. Oh and when I was prescribed some vitamin D, I went to the pharmacy to pick it up after my doctor told me that it would be covered under my insurance and it took an hour and a half for the pharm-techs to tell me that my doctor was wrong, that I had to pay for the prescription and that my doctor actually sent the wrong one so I couldn't even get anything that day after waiting for so long. I am so glad to be leaving this place, I hated dealing with them, go anywhere else.
