North Hills is home to several rehabilitation facilities, and most of them treat the body, recovery after surgery, injury, or a hospital stay. This is different. Fortify Wellness provides drug and alcohol rehab: treatment for substance use disorders and the mental health conditions that so often travel with them. If you or someone you love is searching for help with drinking, opioids, stimulants, or another substance, this is the kind of rehab you are looking for. Our programs combine counseling, group therapy, psychiatric care, and practical support to help people stop using and stay stopped, delivered on an outpatient basis so treatment fits around real life rather than replacing it.
We offer three levels of outpatient addiction care, and a clinical assessment matches you to the right one. A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the most structured, with treatment most of the day, several days a week, for people who need intensive support but not an overnight stay. An intensive outpatient program (IOP) steps that down to shorter sessions a few times a week, built for people stable enough to keep working or studying while they treat their addiction. Standard outpatient care is the lightest level, centered on ongoing counseling as someone returns to independent life. People often move through the levels in sequence, more intensive first, then stepping down, with the same clinical team carrying through each stage.
Treatment is built around evidence-based therapy rather than a single fixed program. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the foundation, helping you recognize and change the thoughts and triggers that drive substance use. Individual counseling gives you private, focused work with a licensed clinician, while group sessions provide a room of people facing the same challenges, which builds accountability and reduces the isolation that often feeds addiction. For people with a co-occurring mental health condition, psychiatric care and medication management run alongside the addiction treatment, so depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or trauma are addressed in the same plan. Beyond the clinical hours, our team helps with case management, employment support, and housing through sober living, the practical scaffolding that keeps early recovery from falling apart.
For many people, addiction and a mental health condition are tangled together, and treating only one tends to leave the other to undo the progress. The scale of that overlap is significant: the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in its 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, estimated that about 21.2 million U.S. adults had both a mental illness and a substance use disorder in the same year. That is why our North Hills-area programs screen for and treat both at once. Someone being treated for alcohol or opioid use is also evaluated for the depression, anxiety, or trauma that may be feeding it, and both are written into a single coordinated plan handled by one team. Integrated care of this kind is the clinical standard for co-occurring disorders precisely because separate, disconnected treatment so often fails.
For people deciding where to start, the choice usually comes down to how much structure the moment calls for. The comparison below lays out the practical differences.
Most people do not stay at one level. A common path begins in PHP, steps down to IOP, and finishes with standard outpatient counseling, with the pace set by clinical progress rather than a fixed schedule. If detox is needed first, we coordinate that through trusted licensed providers before outpatient treatment begins.
Most commercial insurance plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, and we check your specific benefits before anything starts so the cost picture is clear. Fortify Wellness is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS Cert 191603AP). Admissions begins with a confidential call or form, followed by a clinical assessment that determines the right level of care, and then your schedule. Verifying benefits is free, and if you are uninsured, the team will go over private-pay options instead of turning you away. The aim is to clear the practical obstacles so the decision comes down to readiness, not paperwork.
North Hills sits in the central San Fernando Valley, bordered by Granada Hills, Northridge, Panorama City, and Van Nuys, a dense, largely residential community in the middle of the Valley. For people here looking for help with addiction, the nearest options are often either out-of-area hospitals or aggregator directories rather than a local outpatient program. Fortify Wellness is minutes north in Granada Hills, close enough that attending several sessions a week stays realistic for North Hills residents. The need for accessible treatment remains real across the Valley even as the broader trend improves: Drug-related overdose and poisoning deaths across Los Angeles County fell 22 percent in 2024, down from 3,137 to 2,438, the largest single-year decline in county history, according to the county Department of Public Health, which credited expanded treatment and recovery services. Fentanyl was still involved in 52 percent of those deaths, a reminder that timely access to addiction care still matters here.
Yes. Fortify Wellness provides outpatient drug and alcohol rehab for the North Hills area from our Granada Hills facility, minutes away. This is addiction treatment, not physical or post-surgical rehabilitation.
PHP is the more intensive level, with treatment most of the day several days a week. IOP uses shorter sessions a few times a week so you can keep working or studying. Many people step down from PHP to IOP as they stabilize.
Yes. We treat co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma alongside substance use, with psychiatric care and medication management included in the plan.
We do not offer detox in-house. When medically supervised detox is needed first, we coordinate it through trusted licensed providers, then bring you into outpatient treatment once you are stable.
Most commercial plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment. We verify your benefits before you start and explain any out-of-pocket costs up front, so there are no surprises.
After a confidential assessment, many people can begin shortly, depending on the right level of care and availability. Call (818) 918-9564 to start the conversation.
