Substances and Types of Addiction We Treat
Villa treats the full range of drug addiction presentations, including substance use complicated by other mental health conditions.
Specific substances and patterns we treat include:
- Opioid use disorder Prescription opioids (oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl), heroin, and other opioids; treatment includes medical detox and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options including buprenorphine and naltrexone
- Prescription drug addiction Opioid pain medications, benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Klonopin), stimulant medications, and sleep medications; medical detox is often required for benzodiazepines and opioids due to withdrawal risk
- Stimulant use disorder Cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription stimulant misuse; see also cocaine rehab in Los Angeles and substance-specific resources
- Alcohol use disorder Frequently co-occurring with drug addiction; integrated treatment available; see alcohol rehab in Los Angeles for the alcohol-specific page
- Polysubstance use Multiple substances used together, requiring careful medical management during detox and integrated treatment planning
- Marijuana use disorder Chronic, problematic cannabis use, particularly with co-occurring anxiety or depression
- Designer drugs and synthetic substances Emerging substances and synthetic cannabinoids; treatment plans adjusted as needed
- Drug addiction with co-occurring mental health conditions Dual diagnosis treatment integrating substance use and mental health care; the combination is the rule, not the exception
Levels of Care for Drug Addiction
Drug addiction treatment runs across a continuum of care. The right level depends on substance, severity, withdrawal risk, life circumstances, and clinical assessment.
Medical detox
Medically-supervised withdrawal management with FDA-approved medications and 24/7 medical monitoring. Required for safe withdrawal from opioids, benzodiazepines, and alcohol. Typically 5 to 10 days depending on substance and history.
Residential treatment
Live-in care with 24-hour clinical supervision, typically 30 to 90 days. The right fit after detox, when home is not a stable recovery environment, or when there is co-occurring mental health needing intensive care. Research supports 90-day residential as having the strongest outcomes for substance use disorders.
Partial hospitalization (PHP)
Day program structure of 5 to 6 hours per day, 5 days per week, often after residential discharge. Clients live at home or in supportive sober living
Intensive outpatient (IOP)
3 hours per day, 3 days per week, for 8 to 12 weeks. Compatible with work or school; day and evening tracks available.
Outpatient therapy and medication management
Weekly or biweekly therapy plus regular psychiatric and addiction-medicine appointments. Often the right step-down after IOP for sustained maintenance.
Telehealth
Secure video sessions for outpatient therapy and medication management, available across California.
How Treatment Works at Villa
Drug addiction treatment combines medical care for withdrawal and craving management, evidence-based therapy, structured daily programming during higher levels of care, and aftercare planning that begins at intake.
Care is delivered by an integrated team:
- Board-certified psychiatrists for medication management, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder and psychiatric medications for co-occurring conditions
- Addiction medicine specialists and nursing staff for detox supervision and ongoing medical care
- Licensed therapists (LMFT, LCSW) trained in substance use treatment and dual-diagnosis protocols
- Recovery support specialists, many with personal recovery experience, providing community support throughout treatment
The first appointment runs 90 minutes and covers a full clinical assessment, validated substance use screening (ASSIST, AUDIT, drug-specific tools), medical history, medication review, and a recommended treatment plan. Most clients are scheduled within the same week for outpatient and telehealth; residential and detox intake depend on bed availability and clinical urgency.
Co-occurring Mental Health Conditions
Drug addiction frequently co-occurs with mental health conditions, the combination is the rule, not the exception. Common patterns:
- Drug addiction with depression
- Drug addiction with anxiety
- Drug addiction with trauma or PTSD, trauma is often the underlying driver of substance use
- Drug addiction with bipolar disorder, substance use complicates bipolar treatment and vice versa
- Drug addiction with ADHD, careful stimulant management required
Villa is licensed for co-occurring disorders treatment. The same clinical team treats both conditions; see dual diagnosis treatment for integrated care details.
Therapies and Modalities Offered
Our clinical team practices the evidence-based therapies with strongest research support for substance use disorder:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) first-line treatment for substance use, depression, anxiety; identifies thought patterns and behaviors that maintain addiction
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and skills for high-risk situations; particularly useful for substance use with co-occurring borderline personality disorder, self-harm, or trauma
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) evidence-based approach for ambivalence about change; used widely in early-stage substance use treatment
- Trauma-focused therapy (EMDR, prolonged exposure, CPT) for trauma underlying substance use; many people in addiction treatment have trauma histories that drove substance use
- Relapse prevention curriculum structured, evidence-based protocols teaching skills for managing cravings, identifying triggers, and avoiding relapse situations
- 12-step facilitation supporting community recovery program engagement (AA, NA, CA, others) coordinated with clinical care
- SMART Recovery and other secular recovery support for clients who prefer non-12-step community recovery
- Group therapy daily process and skills groups led by licensed clinicians; substance-specific groups when enrollment supports them
- Individual therapy weekly minimum, more frequent during acute phases
- Family therapy see family therapy programs for couples, parent-child, and family-system work
- Holistic and complementary approaches mindfulness, yoga, expressive therapy; integrated alongside evidence-based clinical work; see holistic treatment approaches
Villa was founded by Georgia Frabotta, who brings over 23 years of personal recovery experience. The program is medically reviewed by Dr. Courtney Scott, MD, our medical director.
Medication Management for Substance Use
Medication is a core part of treatment for many substance use disorders, particularly opioids and alcohol. Our medical team manages:
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex), naltrexone (oral and injectable Vivitrol), with methadone referrals when indicated; MAT substantially reduces overdose risk and improves treatment retention
- Naltrexone for alcohol use disorder, reduces craving and reward; used during and after detox
- Acamprosate for alcohol use disorder, reduces post-acute withdrawal symptoms during early recovery
- Disulfiram (Antabuse), for clients who benefit from a deterrent during high-risk early recovery
- Withdrawal-management medications, benzodiazepines for alcohol withdrawal (under careful clinical supervision); clonidine, lofexidine, and other supportive medications during opioid withdrawal
- Psychiatric medications for co-occurring conditions, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications integrated with substance-use medications and managed by the same team
Medication appointments run more frequently during acute phases (often weekly during titration), then less frequently for stable maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does drug addiction treatment in Woodland Hills last?
Length varies based on substance, severity, treatment response, and history. Medical detox typically runs 5 to 10 days. Residential treatment runs 30 to 90 days; the 90-day length is supported by research as having the strongest outcomes for substance use disorders. PHP runs 2 to 4 weeks. IOP runs 8 to 12 weeks. Outpatient therapy and medication management often continue for 6 to 12 months or longer for sustained maintenance, especially with medication-assisted treatment.
Does insurance cover drug addiction treatment?
Most major insurance plans cover drug addiction treatment under the behavioral health benefit. Aetna, Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, MHN, and others are commonly accepted. Detox and residential treatment are typically well-covered when documented as medically necessary; outpatient and IOP are routinely covered. Verification takes 15 minutes by phone or 24 hours online.
Is medical detox required before residential treatment?
Medical detox is required before residential for substances with significant withdrawal risk, alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines. For substances without medically dangerous withdrawal (cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana), residential treatment may begin without medical detox, though clinical observation during early withdrawal is standard. Admissions and the medical team determine the right pathway during the initial assessment.
What is medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and is it part of your program?
Yes. MAT combines FDA-approved medications (buprenorphine, naltrexone, methadone where indicated) with counseling and behavioral therapy. MAT substantially reduces overdose risk and improves treatment retention for opioid use disorder. Naltrexone and acamprosate are also used for alcohol use disorder. MAT is offered alongside therapy, not as a replacement.
Can I get treatment for drug addiction and mental health together?
Yes. Villa is licensed to treat co-occurring disorders (dual diagnosis). Drug addiction frequently co-occurs with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Treating one condition without the other typically leads to relapse in both. Our integrated care plans address both simultaneously with the same clinical team.
Is treatment confidential?
All behavioral health treatment is protected by HIPAA. Substance use treatment is additionally protected by 42 CFR Part 2, the federal regulation governing substance use disorder treatment privacy, which provides stronger confidentiality than HIPAA alone. For executives and high-profile clients, additional discretion measures are available; see executive treatment
Can I do drug addiction treatment by telehealth?
Yes, for outpatient therapy and medication management. Telehealth is available across California. Detox, residential, and PHP require being on-site at the Woodland Hills facility. IOP is available in-person and through select telehealth tracks.
What happens after I complete treatment?
Discharge planning begins early in treatment and includes a step-down plan (residential to PHP to IOP to outpatient), aftercare services, alumni support, and connections to community recovery resources (AA, NA, SMART Recovery, sober living when appropriate). The clinical team works on personalized aftercare planning during the final phase of each level of care.
Do I need a referral?
No. Most insurance plans do not require a referral for substance use treatment, though some HMO plans do. Call (818) 639-7160 or use the verification form and admissions will confirm during the insurance check.
