At this Forward Recovery rehab in Los Angeles, dual diagnosis care pairs research-backed methods with complementary therapies.

Every care plan is built for the individual, and the goal is to address both issues together with compassionate support. Forward Recovery is accredited by the Joint Commission and opened in 2014. Mental health needs, detox, and substance use alongside are offered at Forward Recovery in Los Angeles on West Pico Boulevard.
Programs at Forward Recovery Los Angeles

Detox is the medical stage when the body clears a substance, and Forward Recovery lists detox among its care options. The residential program, or rehab, follows with structure and therapy; the center reports that 30 days is a typical length. Because alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous, clinical supervision should guide detox. Before admission, ask the center who provides this oversight.
How long do people stay at Forward Recovery?
A typical stay runs 30 days, and the residential home holds no more than six clients at once. How long someone actually stays may depend on the care plan, withdrawal needs, and progress. Ask the center how it decides length of stay and what results if longer time is needed. Aftercare includes alumni events and online follow-up sessions.
What therapies does Forward Recovery offer?
The services listed cover individual counseling with a clinical psychologist, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, group therapy, mindfulness therapy, neurofeedback, acupuncture, and Twelve Step facilitation. The center presents its approach as evidence based, holistic, and grounded in Twelve Step. Activities include AA/NA meetings, physical fitness, and yoga, and amenities include access to nature and an outdoor lounge. Call to ask how therapy is assigned.
Does Forward Recovery Los Angeles offer outpatient care or aftercare?
Forward Recovery lists detox and co-occurring mental health among its care options, and aftercare includes alumni events and online follow-up sessions. Outpatient care does not appear as a separate level, so ask the center whether step-down services are available. Should continuing outpatient care be needed, our helpline can help you compare additional SAMHSA-listed Los Angeles programs. Confirm what aftercare includes before you commit.
