About Hillcrest Recovery
Hillcrest Recovery takes a fully holistic approach to treatment, prioritizing healing and rejuvenating the spirit along with mind and body. With all three components addressed and restored, they believe true healing can both begin and last. Hillcrest Recovery addresses substance use and co-occurring disorders using medical methods and holistic treatment, beginning with a fully monitored detox. Their luxurious setting provides comfort and serenity, something those struggling with addiction may be lacking. With a powerful combination of holistic and medical care, plus Hillcrest’s restorative amenities and accommodations, recovery becomes something clients can begin and maintain with confidence.
During their stay, clients will meet with a psychiatrist twice a week and engage in weekly group therapy sessions. Daily exercise, yoga and meditation sessions, and massage therapy make up some of Hillcrest’s holistic activities. Hillcrest also provides expressive activities, like acting classes, music groups, and creative writing classes. This combination of quality medical care and holistic healing effectively helps treat co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder. Brilliant clinical and non-clinical staff members help make each client feel seen, welcome, and understood, beginning with the thorough assessments and tailored treatment plans Hillcrest’s experts craft.
During treatment, Hillcrest combines holistic activities with evidence-based methods, including family therapy, 12-Step meetings, medication-assisted treatment, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Hillcrest Recovery’s family program focuses on repairing relationships impacted by substance use through family therapy. After treatment, clients will continue to have access to a flourishing alumni community, which supports graduated clients on their journey to recovery.
Set in the Chatsworth area of Los Angeles, clients can rest and recover on the pristinely beautiful grounds and lodging of Hillcrest Recovery. They have a large outdoor patio with a swimming pool and outdoor games, an outdoor basketball court, a recreation room, shared and private bedrooms, and comfortable lounge and dining spaces within the house. Under the care of expert medical and mental health staff, and fitness instructors, clients can address the root causes of their addiction and become the best versions of themselves. Hillcrest Recovery is Joint Commission accredited and accepts both public and private insurances.

Hillcrest recognizes the need to stay connected with work and the outside world during treatment. While they do enforce a no-phone policy during detox, clients are welcome to keep their phones and laptops during treatment as long as they’re used appropriately. Special accommodations can be made for working professionals who may need more time to stay on task with work.
Hillcrest Recovery can arrange airport pickups for those flying in to receive treatment. Pick-ups and drop-offs are part of their offered services, done with discretion and care. They prioritize total confidentiality throughout treatment, ensuring that clients are the only ones with the knowledge of their treatment, if desired.
Hillcrest’s alumni have full access to resources from Hillcrest Recovery.

Building bonds with those who have completed addiction treatment is one of the best ways to strengthen sobriety and turn it into a lifestyle.
