Our Approach

Where Evidence-Based Care Meets Nervous System Healing in a Private, Restorative Setting

Addiction affects far more than your relationship with substances. It reshapes your nervous system, disrupts your emotional regulation, and distances you from the parts of yourself that once felt grounded, confident, and whole. At Altus Rehab in Encino, CA, we have built an approach that brings you back to yourself through science-driven treatment, individualized support, and the power of regulated, restorative environments.

Our residential and outpatient programs combine modern clinical care with holistic therapies that strengthen the body, calm the mind, and help you build sustainable sobriety. In our private, luxury estates, healing becomes something you feel, not something you force.

Our Whole-Person Approach to Addiction Treatment

Your story is unique, and your care should reflect that. At Altus, we do not rely on rigid programming or one-size-fits-all pathways. Instead, we start with understanding: Your history, your nervous system, your patterns, your strengths, and the environments that have shaped you.

From there, our clinical team designs a customized treatment plan that blends:

  • Evidence-based therapies to uncover root causes and build emotional resilience

  • Holistic modalities that regulate the nervous system and support physical healing

  • Education and empowerment so you understand your triggers, your brain, and your recovery

  • Family support to repair connection and rebuild trust

  • Luxury accommodations that reduce stress and create the conditions for deep therapeutic work

How Our Encino Environment Enhances Healing

Stress keeps the nervous system in a state of fight-or-flight, and healing becomes nearly impossible when the body is in survival mode. That is why our model centers around calm, comfort, and privacy. At our two Encino residences, limited to just 12 clients total, you will find:

  • Spacious private suites with spa-style bathrooms

  • Lush outdoor courtyards and tranquil gardens

  • Quiet spaces for writing, meditation, and reflection

  • Chef-prepared meals designed to support brain and body health

  • A warmth and serenity that make treatment feel like a retreat rather than an obligation

Proven Therapies Tailored to Your Needs

Our clinical foundation is grounded in modalities proven to support long-term recovery. You will work with licensed therapists who understand the complexities of addiction, trauma, mental health, family systems, and relapse patterns. Your individualized plan may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for identifying triggers and restructuring thought patterns

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness

  • Trauma-informed therapy to address unresolved pain that fuels addictive behaviors

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) to strengthen personal agency and intrinsic motivation

  • Relapse prevention frameworks tailored to your brain, your lifestyle, and your stress responses

  • Family therapy and systems work to heal the relational roots of addiction

With up to five individual sessions per week, you are never lost in a crowd. You get the depth of care most clients wish they had their first time seeking treatment.

Holistic Therapies for Nervous System Healing

True sobriety requires more than insight. It requires a regulated body. Addiction disrupts sleep, stress hormones, inflammation cycles, gut health, and the ability to feel calm without substances. Our holistic services help restore balance and reconnect you to your physical self.

Yoga for Regulation and Strength

Our yoga sessions are designed not for performance, but for healing. Whether you are new to yoga or already practice, each session helps you rebuild trust with your body, strengthen your breathwork, and develop a tool you can return to anywhere, anytime.

Guided Meditation and Breathwork

Meditation is more than mindfulness. It is an evidence-supported practice that rewires stress pathways in the brain. Through guided sessions, you will learn how to access calm, interrupt spirals, and quiet the mind without relying on external substances.

Sound Healing

With vibrations that ground the nervous system, sound healing helps regulate stress responses and support emotional release. Many clients describe these sessions as profoundly calming, something that finally lets the body settle after years of tension.

Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage supports detoxification, physical recovery, trauma release, and improved sleep, creating a physical foundation that strengthens everything you are learning in therapy.

Personal Training and Movement Coaching

Movement is medicine. Whether you are rebuilding strength or discovering exercise for the first time, our trainers help you reconnect with your body in ways that feel empowering and sustainable.

Family Therapy for Recovery Support

Addiction rarely impacts just one person. It affects every relationship around them. At Altus, we consider family support a core pillar of healing, not an optional add-on. Families learn how to:

  • Rebuild trust with healthy boundaries

  • Communicate without hostility or avoidance

  • Understand addiction through a trauma-informed lens

  • Move from enabling to supportive partnership

  • Create a home environment that strengthens recovery

Personalized Daily Routine for Recovery

Each day at Altus blends structure with spaciousness. You will experience a rhythm that includes:

  • Individual therapy

  • Group therapy sessions

  • Holistic practices like yoga, meditation, or sound healing

  • Nourishing meals

  • Time for journaling, rest, or fitness

  • Evening integration sessions

Tools for Lasting Sobriety and Healing

Our approach is not just about getting you sober. It is about preparing you to stay sober with confidence. Clients leave with:

  • A personalized relapse-prevention plan

  • Emotional regulation strategies

  • Nervous-system tools they can use anywhere

  • Clear next steps for ongoing therapy or outpatient treatment

  • Support from our alumni community

  • A renewed sense of identity, purpose, and possibility

Your life after Altus is where the real transformation happens, and we make sure you are ready for it.
