A safe, supported start to your recovery journey
Medical detox is more than withdrawal management—it’s about expert care that addresses both physical and psychological needs. At Altus, we provide private detox in a safe, serene Encino environment where clinical excellence meets comfort. Our 24/7 medical support and compassionate approach help you begin recovery with confidence. We offer mental health and dual diagnosis built into our detox program.
Every Altus client receives private care after California’s most rigorous standards: round-the-clock medical supervision, psychiatric support, and a personalized path forward. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program—it’s medical detox designed to match your unique needs. Our Los Angeles detox facility provides physician-supervised withdrawal management for alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances. With a 3:1 patient-to-staff ratio, 24/7 psychiatric care, and evidence-based protocols, every layer of care is coordinated around your comfort, safety, and long-term recovery goals.
Detoxing without medical drug addiction support can be dangerous—and in some cases, life-threatening. Without proper medical care, the process may involve painful, uncomfortable, and even dangerous symptoms. At Altus, our experienced 24/7 on-site medical team provides compassionate support in a private luxury facility where your comfort and safety are our top priorities.

Our clinical team works collaboratively with clients to facilitate transformational change. Clients can expect bi-weekly individual sessions with a licensed psychotherapist wherein they identify personalized treatment goals and address mental health conditions that commonly underlie addiction. At Altus, we believe substance abuse is often a form of self-medication for undiagnosed and/or untreated mental health disorders. Therapists are trained to administer evidence-based, brief therapies that produce successful outcomes in a time-limited setting.
We have experience treating a wide variety of co-occurring mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, bi-polar, obsessive compulsive disorder, personality disorders, disordered eating, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences. Our admissions team will work with you to determine whether Altus is an appropriate fit for your individual mental health concerns.
At Altus, we appreciate that the surrounding environment impacts your overall sense of harmony and wellbeing. Our Southern California location includes state of the art recreation facilities housed in a luxurious secluded estate. The manicured grounds include a fitness center, basketball court, pool/ spa, zen garden, expansive lawns and outdoor seating areas.
Guest rooms are tastefully appointed featuring generous closet space, luxury bedding, and modern updated restrooms. Our housekeeping staff provides daily services to maintain a pristine and hygienic space.
