Harmony Place

For adults who need a clear on-ramp into longer-term recovery, Harmony Place offers both medical detox and residential treatment at its Woodland Hills campus. Medical detox addresses the physiological demands of early withdrawal under physician supervision, while residential treatment extends that clinical relationship into the weeks that follow — a continuity that is often missing when detox and rehab happen at separate facilities.

The facility operates 24 hours a day, which means clinical and medical staff are present beyond standard business hours. That round-the-clock availability is particularly relevant during medical detox, when symptoms and needs don't follow a nine-to-five schedule. For families researching residential treatment options in the greater Los Angeles area, the combination of CARF accreditation and physician-led admissions provides a meaningful baseline of accountability.

A significant portion of people entering residential addiction treatment are managing mental health conditions alongside substance use. Harmony Place is structured to treat co-occurring disorders — sometimes called dual diagnosis — as a core part of its clinical program rather than a separate specialty referral. This matters for long-term recovery outcomes, because unaddressed mental health conditions are a well-documented driver of relapse.

The clinical foundation at Harmony Place includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach that directly targets the cognitive distortions and behavioral patterns tied to both addiction and common co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety. With a Clinical Director holding LCSW credentials and a Medical Director credentialed in both family medicine and addiction, the team is positioned to treat the full clinical picture.

Harmony Place provides substance abuse treatment services for adult men and women. The admissions team is reachable at (888) 789-4330 or by email at [email protected], with the facility open 24 hours for intake inquiries. For families who have been researching recovery centers and need to act quickly, that constant availability removes a common barrier to getting started.

Payment options include private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay, broadening access across different financial situations. TRICARE coverage is particularly notable for active-duty military members, veterans, and their dependents seeking addiction treatment in the Los Angeles area. Prospective clients and family members are encouraged to reach out directly to confirm insurance coverage and discuss the appropriate level of care.

Accreditation from CARF — the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities — means that Harmony Place has undergone a rigorous external review of its programs, staffing, and outcomes practices. For individuals and families comparing addiction treatment centers, CARF accreditation serves as an independent signal that a facility meets recognized standards rather than self-reported ones.

The leadership team reflects a clinically grounded organizational structure. Jeffrey H. Schwartz, LCSW, serves as Founder and CEO, bringing licensed clinical social work credentials to the executive level. David Cohen, LCSW, directs clinical operations, and Julio Meza, M.D., provides medical oversight with a background in both family medicine and addiction. That combination of administrative, clinical, and medical leadership in a single residential treatment program is a concrete differentiator for those evaluating the quality of a recovery center's care team.
