ALT Recovery Group 2

ALT Recovery Group 2 provides two levels of care under one certified program: medical detox and an outpatient program. For people beginning their recovery, medical detox offers clinical support during the early phase of treatment. The outpatient program then steps in as a structured path for continuing care — allowing people to work on their recovery while remaining in their daily environment.

This continuum matters for long-term recovery. Stepping down from medical detox into an outpatient program, rather than leaving treatment entirely, gives people the time and structure to build the skills recovery requires. The center's location in Chatsworth puts this care within reach for Los Angeles County residents looking for an accessible, ongoing recovery program rather than a one-time intervention.

ALT Recovery Group 2 holds an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) certification, meaning it meets specific regulatory standards for treating opioid use disorder. The center's therapeutic framework combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Medication-Assisted Treatment — two approaches that, together, address both the behavioral and physiological dimensions of addiction and recovery.

CBT works by helping people recognize and change the thinking patterns that fuel substance use, a skill that remains valuable long after formal treatment ends. MAT provides pharmacological support that can reduce cravings and stabilize patients enough to engage meaningfully in therapy. For people navigating opioid use disorder alongside trauma, PTSD, or co-occurring mental health conditions, this combination offers a structured clinical foundation for longer-term recovery.

The center is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of people in recovery. Veterans, pregnant women, young adults between 18 and 25, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and those referred through the court system are all populations the program specifically serves. This breadth is meaningful — it means the center has experience navigating the distinct circumstances that different people bring to treatment.

Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, making the program financially accessible to many people who might otherwise face barriers to entering an addiction treatment program. For those who qualify for public insurance programs, ALT Recovery Group 2 represents a CARF-accredited option that doesn't require private coverage to access quality care.

Substance use and mental health conditions frequently occur together, and ALT Recovery Group 2 treats both. The center's scope includes trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders alongside opioid use disorder — reflecting an understanding that lasting recovery often depends on addressing what underlies the substance use, not just the use itself.

For people who have been in and out of treatment without sustained results, the dual-diagnosis lens can make a significant difference. By treating trauma and mental health conditions as part of the recovery program rather than separate issues, the center works toward a more complete picture of each person's needs. This approach, grounded in CBT and MAT, is particularly relevant for populations like veterans and others who carry compounded experiences into treatment.
