Drug and Alcohol Rehab near Beverly Hills, CA

Annandale Behavioral Health serves Beverly Hills residents from our private six-bed estate in Pasadena — roughly 17 miles east, typically a 30 to 50 minute drive depending on traffic via the 10, 110, and 134 freeways. For Beverly Hills clients — entertainment industry professionals, executives, healthcare workers from Cedars-Sinai, and high-net-worth families — we provide residential addiction treatment that prioritizes clinical depth, real privacy, and the small clinician-to-client ratios that large LA-county facilities simply cannot match.

If you or a loved one in Beverly Hills needs addiction treatment, call (855) 778-8668 for a confidential clinical assessment. PPO accepted. Same-day admission often available.

Who we treat from Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills’s demographic produces a clinical caseload with several distinctive patterns. The neighborhood concentrates entertainment industry professionals, attorneys, finance executives, physicians, and high-net-worth families — each with their own pattern of substance use that has often been managed for years before treatment becomes necessary.

Alcohol use disorder paired with high-functioning professional life is the most common presentation. Wine at every business dinner, cocktails at every premiere or industry event, weekend drinking that started reasonable and quietly escalated — the line between normalized professional drinking and clinical alcohol use disorder blurs slowly. Many Beverly Hills clients arrive after a DUI, a career incident, or a family ultimatum forced the conversation.

Stimulant use disorder — cocaine, prescription stimulants (Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin) — runs at higher rates in our Beverly Hills caseload than in most demographics. The combination of high-pressure work, late-night entertainment industry culture, and ready access drives sustained use that becomes dependency. For entertainment executives in particular, the pattern of cocaine paired with alcohol on weekends and prescription stimulants for weekday “performance” is recognizable.

Benzodiazepine dependence — Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan prescribed for anxiety or insomnia, often by multiple providers over many years — is the third pattern we see frequently. The dependency is iatrogenic for most Beverly Hills clients: they took the medication as prescribed and developed dependence over years of continuous use.

Prescription opioid dependency from chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or cosmetic procedure recovery is the fourth pattern. Beverly Hills concentrates elective surgical recovery — orthopedic, plastic, dental, oncologic — and the opioid prescriptions that follow create dependency risk in patients with no prior substance use history.

Healthcare workers from Cedars-Sinai are a meaningful share of our Beverly Hills caseload given the proximity. Healthcare worker substance use carries specific licensing dimensions that we address openly and confidentially.

Drive from Beverly Hills to our Pasadena estate

Annandale’s six-bed estate is roughly 17 miles east of Beverly Hills — a 30 to 50 minute drive depending on traffic and time of day. The most common route runs east on the 10, north on the 110, east on the 134 into a quiet residential part of Pasadena. Off-peak travel can be closer to 30 minutes; rush hour can stretch to 50.

For Beverly Hills clients, the proximity matters in specific ways. A spouse, partner, adult child, or trusted family advisor can be at the estate for family therapy without major travel coordination. Admission can happen within hours of a family deciding treatment is necessary. Continuity with Beverly Hills outpatient providers — primary care physicians, psychiatrists, pain specialists — remains practical because no one is traveling out of state.

The geographic separation also creates genuine clinical separation. Beverly Hills is dense and high-recognition; the estate in Pasadena sits in a residential neighborhood entirely outside the Beverly Hills social and professional orbit. Clients are not running into business associates at the Cedars cafeteria, not driving past their favorite restaurant, not encountering their daily environmental cues. Seventeen miles east is enough to break the cues that drive relapse without the trade-offs of out-of-state treatment.

What treatment at Annandale looks like

A private 6-bed estate, not an institutional facility

Most LA-area treatment facilities operate at scale — 30, 60, 100 beds. Annandale is intentionally small. Six beds means the clinical team knows every client by name on day one, the program adjusts to the client rather than the other way around, and the daily environment feels closer to a private home than a treatment facility. For Beverly Hills executives, professionals, and families who need clinical depth without the institutional setting, this is the difference that matters.

Medical detox integrated with residential

For Beverly Hills clients who need medical detox — particularly for alcohol, benzodiazepine, or opioid dependence — the detox happens on-site with 24-hour medical staffing. There is no handoff between facilities. The client lives in the same six-bed estate from day one of detox through discharge.

Integrated dual-diagnosis treatment

Most Beverly Hills clients arrive with co-occurring conditions — major depression, generalized anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD. Our dual diagnosis program treats the addiction and the underlying mental health condition concurrently, which is one of the strongest predictors of long-term recovery in this population.

Daily individual therapy

Every client receives individual therapy daily — not weekly, not in groups only. For Beverly Hills clients accustomed to private psychiatric and therapeutic care, the daily 1:1 with an assigned therapist is the program anchor. Group therapy, somatic experiencing, art therapy, and equine-assisted therapy are layered on top.

Medication-assisted treatment when appropriate

For opioid or alcohol use disorder, medication-assisted treatment is integrated when clinically indicated — buprenorphine, naltrexone, Vivitrol, acamprosate. Medication is one part of a complete recovery plan, paired with therapy and structure.

Family involvement

Family therapy begins in week two of residential treatment. For Beverly Hills clients, the proximity makes in-person family sessions feasible without travel coordination — most family members can be at the estate within 45 minutes. Family work is one of the strongest predictors of post-discharge stability and is core to every program.

Specific considerations for Beverly Hills clients

Privacy and professional reputation. Beverly Hills clients are often in highly visible professional roles — entertainment executives, attorneys, physicians, finance professionals — where treatment cannot become public knowledge. The estate is unmarked from the street, not publicly identified as a treatment facility. We follow HIPAA strictly. Admissions and discharge can be coordinated outside normal business hours. Insurance billing is private and itemized only at the policyholder’s request. Many of our Beverly Hills clients choose private pay specifically to keep treatment off insurance records.

Entertainment industry considerations. For entertainment industry clients — directors, producers, writers, executives, talent — we are familiar with the agency and team-coordination dynamics, the publicist considerations, and the production-cycle timing that affects when treatment can happen. We coordinate limited communication during treatment for clients with active production commitments through a single designated trusted person on the client’s team.

Healthcare worker considerations. Healthcare worker clients — physicians, nurses, residents, fellows from Cedars-Sinai and surrounding Beverly Hills providers — have specific concerns about licensing implications and Physician Recovery Program (PHP) coordination. We coordinate with PHP and nurse alternative-to-discipline programs when appropriate and with the client’s consent. Many of our healthcare worker clients return to practice successfully after treatment.

Cedars-Sinai outpatient continuity. For Beverly Hills clients with existing Cedars-Sinai outpatient providers — psychiatrists, pain specialists, primary care — we coordinate continuity throughout the stay and into aftercare. The geographic proximity makes this seamless.

Chronic pain and opioid dependency. For clients whose opioid dependence originated from chronic pain or surgical recovery managed at Cedars-Sinai or surrounding Beverly Hills providers, we build a non-opioid pain management plan during treatment and coordinate with the original prescribers and pain specialists for aftercare. We do not leave clients without pain management.

Insurance. PPO is the dominant Beverly Hills insurance pattern (Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Blue Shield of California, United Healthcare). Entertainment industry guild plans (WGA, DGA, SAG-AFTRA, IATSE) are regular. Cedars-Sinai employee plans are common for our healthcare worker clients. We do not accept HMO. Many Beverly Hills clients choose private pay for additional privacy. Free, no-obligation insurance verification takes about 30 minutes.

The first 72 hours

Hour 0 to 6: admission and medical assessment

A nurse and admissions coordinator meet the client and family at the estate in a private setting. Vitals are taken, medications are reviewed carefully (Beverly Hills clients often arrive on complex regimens), the medical detox protocol begins if indicated, and intake paperwork is completed privately. For healthcare worker clients we begin discussion of PHP coordination and licensing considerations. A psychiatrist evaluates within the first 24 hours.

Day 1 to 2: stabilization

Medication-assisted withdrawal management as needed. For benzodiazepine dependence, the careful 2 to 4 week taper begins. For opioid dependence with chronic pain history, we begin building a non-opioid pain management plan from day one. Hydration, nutrition, and sleep are the priorities. The client is not pushed into group sessions or processing work — the body comes first. Family is updated daily with the client’s HIPAA-authorized consent.

Day 2 to 3: engagement

As the body stabilizes, individual therapy begins. The clinical team and client co-design the treatment plan — substances, mental health, family system, professional context, and goals are all on the table. For Beverly Hills entertainment professionals, this often includes conversations about the production-cycle timing of treatment and the publicist or agent communication plan during the stay.

Aftercare back in Beverly Hills

Residential is the beginning, not the end. Before discharge, we build a continuing-care plan with named local resources: Beverly Hills, Westside, or West LA AA, NA, or SMART Recovery meetings; an outpatient therapist for at least weekly contact through the first six months; a primary care provider; medication management with an outpatient psychiatrist when needed; coordination with any existing Cedars-Sinai or Beverly Hills outpatient providers. For entertainment industry clients we coordinate with industry-affiliated recovery resources (guild assistance programs, sober coaches) when the client wants this integration. Continuity from residential into aftercare is one of the strongest predictors of long-term recovery in this population.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the drive from Beverly Hills to Annandale?

About 17 miles east, typically 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic — east on the 10, north on the 110, east on the 134 to our private estate in Pasadena.

Will my entertainment industry colleagues / agency know I am in treatment?

The estate is not publicly identified as a treatment facility. We follow HIPAA strictly. Admissions and discharge can be coordinated outside business hours. For clients with active production commitments, we coordinate limited, single-point communication through your designated trusted person — not a team-wide announcement. Many of our Beverly Hills clients are executives, talent, and professionals whose treatment cannot become public knowledge.

I’m a physician at Cedars-Sinai. Will treatment affect my license?

Treatment is confidential. We coordinate with the Physician Recovery Program (PHP) and nurse alternative-to-discipline programs when appropriate and with your consent. Many of our healthcare worker clients return to practice successfully after treatment.

I’ve been on Xanax / Klonopin for years. How will you handle the detox?

Benzodiazepine detox is one of the most careful protocols in addiction medicine and we treat it with the appropriate caution. Tapers typically run 2 to 4 weeks under 24-hour medical supervision and are coordinated with your existing prescriber where possible.

My opioid dependency started from a back surgery / cosmetic procedure. Will I be left without pain management?

No. A substantial portion of our Beverly Hills clients arrive with chronic pain alongside opioid dependency. Our medical team builds a non-opioid pain management plan during treatment and coordinates with your original prescribers and any pain specialists for aftercare.

Do you accept Anthem Blue Cross / Aetna / Cedars-Sinai employee plans?

Yes. We accept most major PPO plans including the carriers common in Beverly Hills, Cedars-Sinai employee plans, and entertainment industry guild plans. Free insurance verification takes about 30 minutes. Call (855) 778-8668 to verify your benefits.

Can I choose private pay for additional privacy?

Can my spouse / partner visit during treatment?

Yes, on a scheduled basis. Family therapy typically begins in week two. For Beverly Hills families, the 45-minute drive makes in-person sessions feasible without major travel coordination.
