PHP
Partial Hospitalization
The most structured outpatient level of care — full clinical days, several days a week, while you sleep at home or in supportive housing.

Structured, clinically grounded care — while you keep living your life.
Eternity Recovery Center provides outpatient substance use and mental health treatment for adults across the greater Los Angeles area. Licensed clinicians, evidence-based therapies, and level of care and treatment planning matching your individual needs.
The name reflects the idea we build care around: recovery is continuous, not a finish line you cross once.
Confidential. No obligation.
Programs
Six levels of support, one continuous plan
Outpatient care works best as a sequence rather than a single product. Most people begin at the level of structure their assessment indicates, then step down gradually as stability holds.
IOP
Intensive Outpatient
Multiple half-day sessions each week. Group and individual therapy that fits around work, school, and family life.
Read moreOP
Outpatient Program
Lower-intensity continuing care — weekly therapy and recovery planning as independence grows.
Read moreIntegrated
Dual diagnosis & mental health
Depression, anxiety, trauma, and bipolar concerns treated alongside substance use rather than after it.
Read moreMAT
Medication-Assisted Treatment
FDA-approved medications, prescribed and monitored by psychiatric providers, combined with counseling.
Read moreContinuing
Aftercare & alumni support
A step-down plan and an alumni community, because the months after structured treatment matter most.
Read moreWhat 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
A highly educated, licensed clinical staff
Treatment quality follows from who is in the room. Our clinical work is delivered by credentialed professionals working under clinical supervision, not by 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
Getting started is a conversation, not a commitment
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.
