Traveling for treatment has proven advantages, here are some key points to consider:

  • More Privacy: Seeking treatment away from home can reduce stigma and protect personal privacy.
  • Fresh Environment: Being away from familiar environments minimizes exposure to people, places, and routines that may enable substance use.
  • Easier to Focus: Traveling creates a mental and physical separation that helps individuals prioritize healing without everyday stressors.
  • Better > Nearer: Some treatment centers outside your city may offer unique therapies or higher-quality care not available locally.

Addiction Programs Available at Legacy Healing Center

Legacy Healing Center offers a full continuum of care, including medical detox, inpatient and residential treatment, outpatient and intensive outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, aftercare planning, sober living, and comprehensive mental health services.
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support following formal treatment, helping individuals maintain long-term sobriety. This stage often includes relapse prevention planning, peer support groups, continued therapy sessions, and regular check-ins with counselors. By staying connected to recovery resources, clients strengthen their coping skills and sustain the progress they’ve made.
Detox provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals beginning their recovery journey. Detox is the first step in treatment, where our experienced team helps manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure comfort throughout the process. With 24/7 medical care and compassionate support, clients can stabilize physically and prepare for the next phase of treatment.
For those facing both addiction and mental health challenges, our dual diagnosis program provides integrated care that addresses both conditions simultaneously. We combine evidence-based therapies with psychiatric support to help clients find balance and healing. By treating substance use disorders alongside conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, we help clients build a foundation for lasting recovery.
Inpatient treatment offers structured, round-the-clock care designed to help individuals focus fully on recovery. During inpatient treatment, clients live on-site and receive daily therapy, holistic support, and guidance from licensed professionals. This level of care is ideal for those needing a highly supportive environment away from the stressors and triggers of everyday life in LA.
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is designed for those who need structured support while still managing daily responsibilities. Clients attend multiple therapy sessions each week, focusing on topics such as relapse prevention, life skills, and emotional regulation. IOP offers flexibility while still providing a strong framework for accountability and recovery.
Mental health services play a vital role in addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of recovery. These services may include individual counseling, group therapy, medication management, and holistic approaches to overall wellness. By supporting mental health alongside addiction recovery, clients develop healthier coping strategies and long-term stability.
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is designed for those who need structured support while still managing daily responsibilities. Clients attend multiple therapy sessions each week, focusing on topics such as relapse prevention, life skills, and emotional regulation. IOP offers flexibility while still providing a strong framework for accountability and recovery.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers a high level of care during the day while allowing clients to return home in the evenings. This program includes full days of therapy, medical supervision, and structured activities to reinforce recovery. PHP provides the intensity of inpatient treatment while maintaining flexibility for those who do not require 24-hour residential care.
Our residential treatment program offers an immersive healing experience in a safe and structured setting. Clients live on campus while receiving personalized treatment that blends clinical therapies, holistic practices, and community support. This level of care allows individuals to step away from daily distractions and fully commit to recovery in a supportive environment tailored to their needs.
Sober living homes provide a safe and supportive living environment for individuals transitioning from treatment back to everyday life. These residences emphasize accountability, peer support, and the development of healthy routines. With structured guidelines and a recovery-focused community, sober living helps bridge the gap between treatment and independent living.
