Luxury Rehab in California — Where Healing Meets Dignity
Private Suites | Holistic Wellness | Personalized Clinical Care
Addiction is a debilitating issue to manage on your own
It affects every aspect of the person affected and the people around them. Individual therapy helps an enormous amount.
Not only to help identify the specific issue you are facing but to provide guided solutions to your specific situation.
With the help of a therapist, you will learn coping mechanisms that will allow you to manage addiction. Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was someone who could go through this journey with you? Someone who would understand what you are going through? That is where our therapists come in. They are here for you.
Questions? We’d love to talk!
At Annandale Behavioral Health, we offer many different types of treatment and therapies.
Including individual therapy for addiction and specific approaches to gain insight to help manage and resolve issues that may be contributing to your addiction. The clinical team at our private wellness center in Los Angeles has the experience helping people just like you get their lives back on track with these therapeutic sessions and approaches.
How Individual Therapy Works
During treatment you will meet with a therapist for private counseling. This counseling is between the individual and the therapist but in addition we also provide family counseling. This is up to the individual but it’s a great opportunity to educate the family on the true nature of addiction and the struggle it is for many to remain free from drugs and alcohol. It’s also an opportunity to mend relationships and incorporate family into your changing lifestyle.
Addiction is complex, and many factors are often at play. Therefore, we take a comprehensive approach in our biopsychosocial assessment, in order to get a clear understanding of the needs from a clinical perspective.
Questions you will get asked include those related to lifestyle, childhood, trauma, work environment and family background. From there, you will receive an individualized treatment plan that is catered to your own unique needs.
Our clinical work is always evolving and we understand that not everyone on their first encounter is comfortable sharing some of their most vulnerable experiences, this is why individual counseling happens several times a week.
These circumstances will differ from person to person, but one of the aspects that is most helpful in therapy is being able to discuss matters that are unique to the situation and the specific person with our therapist, Doctors, nurses and other clinical staff guiding the process.
Determining the Root Cause
During one on one individual therapy sessions, clients will be allowed to explore all the emotional aspects of addiction. This means, in part, you learn how your emotions and thought patterns affect behaviors related to substance use.
When these topics are addressed during treatment, you get a better idea of why you started misusing substances in the first place.
These individual therapy sessions provide impactful methods of determining the root cause of one’s issues with substance use. Through the process, you get the tools and coping skills needed for overcoming addiction.
The Goal of One on One Therapy
One goal of individual therapy is for individuals to move forward, giving them a chance to live a happy and fulfilling life without substance use. What this means varies from person to person, but it generally includes learning new coping skills, developing healthy relationships and learning to manage stress.
Individual therapy helps a person work through their emotions and find a healthier way to manage life’s challenges rather than relying on substance use. It can be very empowering, especially when paired with other therapeutic approaches such as clinically driven peer-to-peer groups and family therapy.

Annandale helped change my life. The clinical programming helped me tremendously and the house felt like a home. The environment was safe and comfortable. My life has improved significantly and the internal awareness I've gained has followed me into my work, my fellowship, and my marriage. I cannot thank the staff enough for helping me get back on my feet. I will recommend this facility to anyone that comes to me for help.

Be wary of one star reviews for treatment centers. There are some vindictive, bitter, angry clients who will blame anyone but themselves; and treatment centers and their staff tend to be a go-to target for abuse and retaliation.
In short, Annandale worked for me.
Short story made long: Like any treatment center, you will get out what you put in though. But a good treatment center will give you all the tools, support and understanding you need. And that is what Annandale provides: a structure and foundation for your success, which you build on once you leave.
All the various treatment center bells, whistles and accoutrements don’t matter without a good staff/therapists on hand to guide and support. Luckily, Annandale has both.
The program itself focuses not only on getting sober/maintaining sobriety, but also on modifying negative thought patterns and the troublesome behavior that arises as a result. They know that you must focus on the problem itself, not just the symptoms, in order to recover. Drinking is a symptom of a deeper rooted issue.
They also offer some unique elements to the program, such as equine therapy and soundbaths. I scoffed initially, but kept an open mind. And guess what? It was a great help. Other groups/activities included yoga, meditation, mindfulness walks, nature walks, art, gardening, etc. They take you to 12 step recovery meetings, but Annandale itself is non-denominational as far as I could gather. Which is a plus in my book.
Great location in Pasadena. Right up the street from the Rose Bowl, where you’ll take walks some days. Other walks go a block or two in the other direction and offer absolutely breathtaking panoramic views of the Rose Bowl, Pasadana and its environs, mountain ranges etc. It’s truly a sight to behold.
The house and its campus are extremely serene and quiet. The house is comfortable, a comfy “home” vibe with people that genuinely care. A special feeling to it. Doesn’t feel like some “facility”.
Private bedrooms with their own flat screen TVs. Almost all have their own private bathroom. You get to place takeout lunch and dinner choices (with a mind towards healthy options from some great restaurants) on the iPad every day (which is included with your stay).
But more than anything, it is the staff that makes or breaks the place. Darryl is the owner and possibly the first person you’ll speak to. a very kind, caring, genuine, astute and just cool guy. Very helpful and personable. I was in a bad way when I initially called and Darryl was an immeasurable help in easing my concerns and providing comfort in a very distressful time in my life. Remy, the on-site nurse, is extremely attentive and understanding. Dr Coe is one of the most brilliant doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with—the guy pulled things out that shocked me, things that no doctor-therapist/psychiatrist has been able to reach or decipher in all my years. He gave me a true, unbridled diagnosis of where my issues stemmed from. My wife of 20 years co-signed what he said with a very troubling passion (haha). Said he was spot-on, and he was.
Roxanne is one of the kindest and most lovely people I’ve ever met. The most gentle eyes, emphatic tone — a truly calming presence who offered me immeasurable support so thank you 🙏. Jordan was relatable, friendly and easy to talk to. Very intelligent and understanding of how addiction and sobriety work. Kevin, one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Michael, who became a genuine friend and somebody I could always talk to — and was always willing to listen.
Becky, Carrie, Xenia, Alex, Chris and I know I’m missing a few, but really, everyone was great and offered their own unique approach/personality. This place quite literally saved my life. I was on death’s door and couldn’t even walk in my own when I went in. And walked out a “new’ man.

I love this place. I had to check my niece in 2 years ago. It was a difficult time for our family. Remy explained everything step by step and reassured us she will be in good hands. Like most family, this is our first time having to figure things out. The Facility and staff were very sweet and knowledgeable. The place is like a sanctuary. Peaceful, well thought out and comfortable. We are forever thankful what they have done for us, and appreciate everyone on the team.

Remy Olivier is wonderful. She is the Program Director at Annandale. She is caring, conscientious and so knowledgeable. She makes multiple arrangements and was always available to assist with anything that came up. Remy is an RN who has worked in behavioral health for many years and uses her nursing skills and knowledge of addition when dealing with patients. I can’t say enough nice things about her.
Annandale is owned and operated by Remy and her husband Darryl, who has also been working in the field for 30 years. You can expect outstanding clinical care in a program that is family owned.

First class medical detox - the level of experience, compassion and care is unmatched. They are a hands-on, genuine team who truly treats their clients like their own family. Brendan and Remy have been a pleasure to work with. I would send my own family members to Elevate Wellness Center.
