A Full Continuum of Individualized Care
Passages offers a complete spectrum of care, from initial detox to long-term support. Each program is built around their core philosophy of intensive one-on-one therapy to heal the underlying causes of addiction, ensuring a seamless and personalized journey to lasting wellness.
Program Length: 2-10+ Days
The first step for many, our detox program provides 24/7 nursing and physician oversight in a comfortable, private suite. We use proven medications to ensure your safety and comfort while managing withdrawal symptoms, creating a stable foundation for the therapeutic work ahead.
Focus: 60-70 Hours of Individual Therapy per Month
The core of the Passages experience. Clients engage in an unparalleled schedule of individual therapies designed to uncover and heal the root causes of addiction. This immersive program combines psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and holistic modalities, all while residing in a private, luxurious ocean-view suite.
Schedule: 3-5 days per week
Offered at affiliated locations, our outpatient programs provide a step-down level of care. This allows clients to continue receiving exclusive, non-12-step therapy while accommodating their busy schedules and integrating back into daily life. Programs are customized to meet individual needs.
For those seeking additional support after completing residential treatment, our affiliated sober living homes in Santa Monica and Brentwood offer a safe, structured, and sober environment. Residents can build a community with peers, practice their newfound coping skills, and attend outpatient sessions.
