Two Decades of Recovery on LA's Westside

For over 20 years, Cliffside West Los Angeles has been dedicated to helping adults establish a solid foundation for lifelong recovery from substance use disorder. Many of our patients live nearby, while others travel from across the country. Regardless of where they come from, everyone receives the same quality of care: quick access to treatment, close medical supervision, and a clinical team that knows them by name.

We treat patients in two six-bed homes, ensuring a non-crowded environment. This small scale is intentional, allowing our team to tailor treatment to each patient’s clinical needs, responsibilities, and goals, and to adjust quickly as those needs change.

Care for Complex Cases, Not Just Easy Ones

Cliffside West LA provides treatment for adults aged 18 and older, regardless of gender, who have a primary diagnosis of substance use disorder. Many of our patients require more than just standard detox or a residential stay. 

When a case is clinically complex and every detail requires active management, we strive to accommodate our patients without compromising safety or the appropriateness of care.

A complex case may consist of:

Inpatient Detox and Residential Treatment in West LA

Medical Detox

Detox at Cliffside West LA is supervised 24/7 by licensed nurses and addiction medicine physicians. The duration of the detox process is tailored to your individual clinical and medical needs rather than following a fixed schedule. Additionally, the detox program transitions seamlessly into residential treatment, ensuring there is no gap in your care.

Residential Treatment

Residential care provides a supportive environment that combines individual therapy, group sessions, psychiatric support, and case management, all within a home-like setting that accommodates just six patients. On average, our detox and residential programs last over 30 days, allowing you time to stabilize and develop a robust recovery plan.

Discharge & Aftercare Planning

Discharge planning starts right from day one! Your case manager dedicates at least an hour each week to develop a personalized plan with you, linking you to reliable outpatient providers, sober living homes, and medical professionals in Los Angeles or wherever you call home across the country. Together, we’re setting you up for success!

If you’re struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction or battling a co-occurring disorder, we have the experts to help you on your healing journey. 

Treatment Built Around You

Our clinical foundation is based on the Stages of Change model, combined with evidence-based practices and a strong therapeutic alliance between each patient and their care team. Instead of putting you in a predetermined program, we customize our approach to meet you where you are in your recovery and provide the support you need to move forward.

Your care team includes:

  • An addiction medicine physician serving as medical director
  • A psychiatrist specializing in addiction medicine seeing every patient at least once weekly
  • Master’s-level therapists who carry a maximum caseload of six patients
  • A certified counselor case manager who leads your discharge planning
  • Licensed and registered nurses providing 24/7 care


A caseload of six means your therapist has time to know your history, your goals, and the people in your life who matter to your recovery.
