Drug treatment Los Angeles, sorted
Finding drug treatment Los Angeles families can trust starts with clear information. We counted 185 SAMHSA-listed programs within 20 miles of the city center. The helpline is free, confidential and available at any hour.
Rehabs serving Los Angeles and nearby
Most of the listed programs cluster in the city, but the surrounding cities add real capacity. Long Beach has 13 listed facilities about 16 miles from the center, Pasadena has 9 at roughly 10 miles, and Glendale has 5 at 6 miles. Rehabs serving Los Angeles spread from Glendale to Long Beach across the metro, which matters if family visits or a familiar neighborhood help someone stay in care.
Smaller clusters sit in Van Nuys with 5, Inglewood with 4, North Hollywood with 4, Santa Monica with 4, and Torrance with 4. Distance is not the only factor, but it is a practical one. If daily outpatient visits are part of the plan, then a center 10 minutes from home is easier to keep than one across the county. Telehealth is listed at 137 facilities, which widens the map further.
Alcohol, opioids and other substances
Alcohol remains the most common reason people call, and the listings reflect it. Alcohol detox is offered at 49 programs, and medication for alcohol use disorder, including naltrexone, is listed at 98 facilities. Alcohol rehab Los Angeles programs combine counseling with medication at 98 sites, which gives families more than one route to choose from.
Opioids and fentanyl are the next largest group, with 72 detox programs available and 123 facilities offering medications such as buprenorphine or methadone. Methamphetamine is listed at 48 detox sites and cocaine at 47. Benzodiazepines appear at 50. If someone is taking a sedative regularly, then stopping suddenly without medical supervision is risky, so ask about supervised withdrawal before choosing a program.
Nobody should promise you a specific outcome, and we will not. What the numbers show is range: many combinations of counseling, medication and setting exist in this county. Dual diagnosis care, where a mental health condition is treated alongside substance use, is also widely listed. If a program treats both, then ask how the two treatments are coordinated.

What the overdose numbers say
According to the CDC, the county saw 8,250 overdose deaths in the 12 months through May 2026, down 12 percent from the prior year. That is still 8,250 people. CDC overdose figures for Los Angeles show 4,710 opioid deaths and 4,047 involving fentanyl across that same period, drawn from provisional counts by the National Center for Health Statistics.
The direction is encouraging in places. Opioid deaths fell 14 percent, fentanyl-involved deaths fell 16 percent, and heroin deaths fell 27 percent to 178. Methamphetamine was involved in 4,784 deaths, down 14 percent. Cocaine is the exception: 1,397 deaths, up 4 percent. Prescription opioid deaths dropped 9 percent to 616.
These are provisional figures that get revised, and they describe a whole county, not a single neighborhood. What they mean for a family is simpler: the risk is real, treatment is listed in large numbers, and reaching someone early matters. If you are unsure whether a situation is serious, then a call costs nothing and can sort that out.
| Drug | Past year | Prior year | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overdose deaths, all substances | 8,250 | 9,327 | -12% |
| Any opioid | 4,710 | 5,480 | -14% |
| Fentanyl alongside other synthetic opioids | 4,047 | 4,797 | -16% |
| Heroin-related | 178 | 244 | -27% |
| Opioids prescribed by a doctor | 616 | 678 | -9% |
| Methamphetamine-related | 4,784 | 5,566 | -14% |
| Cocaine-related | 1,397 | 1,341 | +4% |
Levels of care listed across Los Angeles
The listings break into distinct levels of care, so you can match the setting to how much support the person actually needs. Los Angeles drug rehab listings show 72 detox programs and 61 inpatient rehab centers within about 20 miles of the city center, according to SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov. That range runs from hospital-based withdrawal management to outpatient rehab you drive to a few times a week.
Medical detox appears at 72 programs, and residential or inpatient rehab at 61. For someone who needs structure but not a bed, partial hospitalization is listed at 40 facilities and intensive outpatient at 85. Plain outpatient rehab is the widest category at 133. If a program says it offers medications, ask who prescribes them and how often they review the dose.
Two more numbers are worth noting. Medication for opioid use disorder is offered at 123 facilities, and 30 of these are methadone clinics, known as OTPs. Inpatient rehab choices in Los Angeles suit cases involving real withdrawal risk, because benzodiazepine or alcohol withdrawal May turn dangerous and should be guided by clinical supervision. In those cases, a monitored detox setting is often the safer place to begin.
What goes on when you call the helpline
A treatment advisor picks up, not a recording, and the call is free and private at any hour. The advisor asks what substance is involved, how long this has continued, whether the person is in immediate danger, and what insurance or payment they have. The Los Angeles addiction treatment helpline is staffed by advisors connected to licensed programs, and reaching out commits you to nothing.
You are not asked to decide anything on the call. If someone is in crisis right now, tell the advisor and they will point to emergency options; the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is also available. Otherwise the advisor uses what you share to narrow the 185 listed programs down to a few that fit the substance, the level of care and the payment situation. Then you choose what to do next.
Paying for rehab in Los Angeles County
California expanded Medicaid, so many low-income adults can qualify for Medi-Cal, which pays for substance use treatment. Among the programs listed, 117 accept Medicaid and 120 take private insurance. Medicaid and private insurance cover rehab in Los Angeles at 117 and 120 listed programs respectively, so cost often comes down to which door you try.
Other doors matter too. Medicare is accepted at 70 programs, TRICARE at 48, and other state insurance at 61. Self-pay is listed at 155, sliding-scale fees at 79, and payment assistance at 42. Only 2 programs report charging no fee at all, and 87 receive block grant funding. If money is the blocker, call and ask which of these categories a program falls into before you fill out anything.
Under parity legislation, most plans are required to cover behavioral health and addiction care on terms no stricter than those for medical care. Bring that up when a plan pushes back. If a quoted price is more than you can afford, ask the program about sliding-scale fees or block grant openings before you dismiss it.

Common questions
Does Medi-Cal pay for drug treatment in Los Angeles?
Yes. California adopted Medicaid expansion, and 117 of the listed programs accept Medicaid, which in California is Medi-Cal. Coverage depends on your eligibility and the program, so confirm both before intake. Only 2 programs report charging no fee, so if Medi-Cal is your route, ask the advisor which of the 117 fit your situation.
How many drug treatment programs are listed in Los Angeles?
As of the listing date, SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov lists 185 programs within roughly 20 miles of the city center. That total includes 72 detox programs, 61 inpatient or residential rehab centers, 85 intensive outpatient programs and 133 outpatient programs. Many programs offer more than one level of care, so these categories overlap.
What is the difference between detox and rehab?
Detox addresses withdrawal while the body readjusts, and rehab is the counseling and support that comes after. Both are plentiful nearby, with 72 detox programs and 61 inpatient rehab centers in the listings. Withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines can be risky, so clinical supervision should guide detox. Before committing, ask any program how it handles withdrawal.
How long do people usually stay in rehab?
How long treatment lasts depends on the level of care as well as on the individual, and no listing promises a fixed number of days. Residential stays usually run for weeks, while outpatient programs bend around daily life. Rather than assuming a set timeline, ask each program directly how long it expects treatment to last and what occurs if additional time is required.
Are there programs that offer medication for opioid use disorder?
Yes. Medications for opioid use disorder appear at 123 facilities, and 30 of those are methadone clinics, known as OTPs. Buprenorphine is listed at 123 programs and naltrexone at 98. Ask who writes the prescriptions, how often doses get reviewed, and whether counseling comes with the medication.
What if I do not have insurance or much money?
Of the listed programs, 155 accept self-pay, 79 offer sliding-scale fees and 42 list payment assistance. Another 87 receive block grant funding, which can help people without coverage. Only 2 report charging no fee, so call and ask about sliding fees or grant-funded slots before ruling a program out.
