You made it here. That counts.

Let’s take this one step at a time.

You don’t need to know if you’re “bad enough.” You don’t need the right words. This page answers the first questions — and shows you exactly what happens next.

Step one

Is this the right place?

Valley Recovery Center is for you if…

  • You’re a man, 18 or older, struggling with alcohol or drugs
  • Depression, anxiety, or trauma are tangled up in it — we treat both together
  • You’ve tried to stop before and it hasn’t stuck — that’s not failure, that’s the disease
  • You’re a spouse, parent, or professional looking for help for a man you care about

We’ll point you somewhere good if…

  • You’re seeking help for a woman — our sister program Ohana Recovery Center was built for her
  • You need outpatient care while living at home — our sister program Inneractions offers IOP & PHP in Encino, and we’ll help you find trusted options closer to home too
  • You’re a first responder who wants care built around that life — our network’s After Action program was created for firefighters, police, EMS, and military
  • A medical situation needs hospital-level care first — our admissions team will tell you honestly and help you get there

Either way, call. If we’re not the right fit, we won’t leave you without a next step.

Step two

What happens when you call

A real conversation — not a sales pitch

Tell our admissions team what’s going on, in whatever words you have. It’s confidential, there’s no obligation, and no one will pressure you. Ask anything.

We check your insurance — free

Most major insurance plans cover our program. We verify your benefits at no cost, so you know exactly what’s covered before you decide anything.

A plan, on your timeline

If we’re the right fit, we’ll walk you through admission — what to bring, what day one looks like, and how our case managers handle work and insurance paperwork so it doesn’t pile up on you.

Step three

The questions everyone asks first

Do I have to commit to anything when I call?+
No. Plenty of first calls are just questions — about cost, about timing, about whether this is even the right move. The call is confidential and decides nothing on its own.
How much does it cost?+
For most people, insurance carries most of the weight — our program is covered by most major plans. The honest answer for your situation takes a few minutes: a free benefits check tells you exactly what your plan covers. We are not able to accept Medi-Cal, Medicaid, or Medicare at this time.
How long would I be there?+
A typical stay is 30 days, but length is set by clinical need, not a package. Some men benefit from more time; the plan adjusts as treatment progresses.
What is it actually like?+
A real house on a quiet street — six clients, private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and a busy, structured day of groups with 12-step meetings nightly. Take the video tour and see for yourself.
What about my job?+
Our case managers work directly with you on FMLA and leave-of-absence paperwork, disability claims, and insurance questions — getting help shouldn’t cost you your livelihood.
What if I’m scared of detox?+
That fear is normal — and it’s exactly what we’re built for. Detox here is clinically managed with 24-hour on-call medical support, in the same home where you’ll continue treatment. No cold institution, no starting over somewhere new.

Where you’d actually be

Not a facility. Two houses north of Los Angeles, six men in each.

Whenever you’re ready

The next step takes five minutes.

Call and talk it through, or start with the free insurance check — whichever feels easier today.
