Outpatient treatment · Greater Los Angeles

Evidence-based outpatient treatment for substance use and mental health disorders.

Eternity Recovery Center treats adults across the greater Los Angeles area. Addiction is a chronic, treatable brain disorder. Care here uses licensed clinicians, behavioral therapies with research support, FDA-approved medications when indicated, and level-of-care matching based on a clinical assessment — not a slogan.

Confidential. No obligation.

The clinical model

What the published science actually says

These are findings from federal research institutes and national clinical standards. They are not claims about this clinic’s outcomes.

A brain disorder, not a character problem

The National Institute on Drug Abuse defines addiction as a chronic, relapsing disorder involving functional changes in brain circuits for reward, stress, and self-control. Those changes can persist after a person stops using. Like heart disease, it disrupts an organ system and is, in many cases, treatable. NIDA — Drug Misuse and Addiction

Treatment manages a chronic condition

NIDA’s position is that addiction treatment is not a cure. It is a way of managing the condition, the same way treatment manages asthma or heart disease. A return to use does not mean treatment failed; it means the plan needs to be resumed or adjusted. Relapse rates for drug use are similar to those for other chronic medical illnesses. NIDA — Treatment and Recovery

Level of care is an assessment, not a package

The ASAM Criteria are the national framework for matching a person to the right intensity of addiction treatment, then reassessing whether to step down, stay, or step up. We use that logic: PHP, IOP, and OP are different doses of the same clinical work, not three separate products. ASAM Criteria

Programs

Six outpatient intensities, one assessed plan

Care is dosed by clinical hours, medical oversight, and structure — then adjusted as symptoms, safety, and function change. Most people start at the intensity the assessment supports and step down when that intensity is no longer indicated.

What to expect

From first call to aftercare

No one should have to guess what happens next. Here is the sequence for every person who contacts us.

01

Reach out

Call or send a short message. A member of our admissions team responds and listens — no scripts, no pressure.

02

Clinical assessment

A licensed clinician completes a confidential assessment of substance use, mental health, medical history, and support at home.

03

Your treatment plan

Together we recommend a level of care and build an individualized plan with clear goals, therapies, and a weekly schedule.

04

Step down & aftercare

As stability grows, intensity decreases — PHP to IOP to OP to alumni support — with the plan updated at every step.

Clinical team

Licensed clinicians, psychiatric providers, and certified counselors

Services are delivered by credentialed staff under clinical supervision. Therapy, medication decisions, and counseling sit with the license or certification that authorizes them — not with unlicensed coaches.

  • Licensed clinicians leading individual and group therapy
  • Psychiatric providers for evaluation, medication management, and Medication-Assisted Treatment
  • Experienced substance use disorder counselors (registered or certified through a California-recognized body) for counseling and recovery planning
  • Case management and alumni coordination to connect care with housing, employment, and community support
  • Ongoing clinical supervision, training, and documentation review consistent with DHCS and Joint Commission expectations

We describe our team by credential rather than by name; individual clinician biographies are available on request.

Admissions & insurance

Admission starts with assessment and a benefits check

We work with most major PPO plans and offer a no-cost verification of benefits before you decide anything. Because every plan is different, we confirm your specific benefits with your insurer and explain them in plain language.

  • Confidential assessment by a licensed clinician
  • Verification of benefits, with out-of-pocket estimates explained before admission
  • Self-pay options discussed openly
  • Honest referrals elsewhere when a different level of care is indicated

Verification of benefits is not a guarantee of coverage or payment. Final determinations are made by your insurance plan.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to stop working or leave home to get treatment?

No. Every program at Eternity Recovery Center is outpatient, which means you live at home — or in supportive housing — and attend scheduled clinical hours. PHP is the most time-intensive option and IOP and OP are designed to fit around employment, school, and caregiving.

How do I know which level of care I need?

That decision follows a clinical assessment rather than a phone script. A licensed clinician reviews your substance use and mental health history, medical needs, prior treatment, and the stability of your living situation, then recommends the least restrictive level of care likely to be effective.

What does it mean that you are DHCS certified and Joint Commission accredited?

DHCS certification means the State of California's Department of Health Care Services has reviewed this program against its standards for outpatient substance use disorder treatment. Joint Commission accreditation means an independent national body has surveyed our care processes, safety practices, and clinical documentation against behavioral health care standards. Both involve ongoing review, not a one-time approval.

Is treatment confidential?

Yes. Substance use disorder records receive protection under federal law (42 CFR Part 2) in addition to HIPAA. We will not confirm to an outside party that you are a client without your written authorization, except in the narrow circumstances the law requires.

Do you take insurance?

We work with most major PPO plans and can complete a verification of benefits before you commit to anything. Coverage and out-of-pocket cost depend entirely on your individual plan, so we confirm the specifics with your insurer and review them with you in plain language. We cannot guarantee coverage.

What if you are not the right fit for me?

We will say so. If an assessment suggests you need medically supervised withdrawal, residential care, or a specialty program we do not provide, we will explain why and help you find an appropriate referral.
