About LA Wellness Home
LA Wellness Home is a warm, welcoming facility treating addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions with clinically led detox, residential care, outpatient, and sober living. They use various evidence-based and holistic therapies to offer a well-rounded treatment experience. An initial consultation and addiction diagnosis help guide and personalize each client’s unique treatment plan.
Structured Care Led by Professionals
A typical day at LA Wellness Home includes 6 hours of group therapy, with 2 groups before and after lunch, and mandatory off-site 12-Step meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays. Clients receive 2 hours of 1:1 therapy weekly; one with an addictions counselor and one hour with their therapist. They provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help ease detox and withdrawals, with 24/7 supervision throughout. Their team includes a psychiatrist, physician/addictionist, full-time psychiatric nurse, RadT technicians, therapists, and counselors. All meet weekly to discuss progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. Clients receive daily medical check-ins, a weekly psychiatric evaluation, and unlimited case management services throughout treatment.
Evidence-Based Therapies for Clients and Families
LA Wellness Home’s evidence-based therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), twice-weekly in person 12-Step meetings (virtual on Saturdays), and trauma-informed therapies. Psychoeducation for clients and their family members provides education on addiction, mental health, and recovery. Families can also join multi-family support groups and attend weekly family therapy with their loved one. After residential care, clients can attend their nearby outpatient care and stay in LA Wellness Home’s safe sober living accommodations for continued structure.
Holistic Services and Engaging Sober Activities
Clients at LA Wellness Home can enjoy nutritious chef-prepared meals throughout their stay, plus weekly acupuncture and massage services. They can also join on-site yoga and sound bath sessions each weekend, with hour-long sessions on Saturday and Sunday. LA Wellness Home takes clients on group outings each Sunday to bring them into the LA area and connect them to the community. Outings include group hikes, beach trips to Santa Monica, museum tours, walking through botanical gardens, self-care appointments, visiting the LA zoo, and going to movies.
