Los Angeles County Detox Clinics

Design for Change is a JCAHO-accredited drug and alcohol rehab on East Avenue J in Lancaster, California, where the provider says its program has run for more than 20 years with a deliberately low client-to-staff ratio. Care begins with sub-acute detox and continues into a 30-day residential track, with co-occurring mental health treatment, a family program and post-treatment support; a second Lancaster site operates on 16th Street West. Private insurance and self-pay are accepted, including plans from Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Kaiser Permanente, Humana, Magellan, Health Net, TRICARE and ComPsych.

CLARE|MATRIX provides residential and outpatient substance use treatment in Santa Monica, California, formed in 2018 by the merger of CLARE Foundation (founded 1970) and Matrix Institute on Addictions. It is the only medically supervised detox provider on the Westside of Los Angeles, offering 24/7 withdrawal management for drugs and alcohol. The program runs gender-responsive men's and women's residential treatment tracks lasting 30 to 90 days with case management support. Three outpatient locations in Santa Monica, Mid-City Los Angeles, and Ontario provide intensive outpatient, standard outpatient, and recovery support services. CLARE|MATRIX accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance.

Bright Mission Recovery is a residential addiction treatment center in Acton, in the high desert north of Los Angeles, which also offers detox, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care and sober living. It treats substance use alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, and both buprenorphine and naltrexone are available for opioid use disorder — so someone who wants medication-assisted treatment and someone who wants an antagonist rather than an agonist can both be accommodated. Payment is by private or military insurance, or out of pocket.
