Hillside recovery Woodland Hills

Hillside Recovery is a small detox and residential program on Winnetka Circle in Woodland Hills, roughly half an hour northwest of central Los Angeles. It opened in 2023 and carries Joint Commission accreditation. Hillside recovery Woodland Hills pairs detox with residential treatment in a 6-15 bed setting where each client's pace and goals are respected. The team describes flexible care rather than rigid rules.

In practice, that means individualized plans, ongoing medical attention during withdrawal, and a low client-to-staff ratio so questions get answered. The center treats people who drink heavily, those dependent on benzodiazepines, and adults using cocaine, heroin, ecstasy or psychedelics. It also treats co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder and OCD alongside substance use.

The atmosphere is quiet and restorative: meals prepared on site with attention to dietary needs, time by the pool or hot tub, a 24/7 gym and outdoor space. If you are weighing residential care, then ask about withdrawal safety, insurance verification and aftercare first, because those decisions shape everything else.

This helpline is a resource for information, not a clinic. Trained people there connect callers with licensed providers, at no cost and privately, with nothing to sign and nothing promised.

Detox and residential care here

This center lists detox as the entry point, paired with residential treatment for substance use and mental health conditions. Hillside recovery Woodland Hills offers detox with continuous medical attention rather than at-home withdrawal, and the clinical team decides medication support after assessment; no protocol is promised in advance. Quitting alcohol and benzodiazepines can become a medical risk, so medical staff should supervise it.

Therapy includes one-on-one counseling, sessions with a clinical psychologist, acupuncture, cryotherapy, mindfulness and meditation, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation and trauma-specific work. The program refers to itself as evidence based and holistic. Aftercare continues with a recovery coach, drug screening, family follow-up counseling, online aftercare, outpatient treatment, recovery retreats, return visits and support meetings. If you need care after discharge, then the aftercare list matters as much as the residential phase because it is where stability is tested.

Paying for Hillside Recovery

In this center's SAMHSA record, the only payment option is cash pay rates shown; insurance is not listed as accepted, and coverage or cost cannot be confirmed without checking. If you plan to use insurance, then have the center verify your benefits by phone before you commit to a date, and ask what a 45-day stay would cost out of pocket if coverage falls short. A quick call can confirm open beds and what your plan covers at no charge, and calling commits you to nothing.
