About Kaiser Permanente Addiction Medicine
Kaiser Permanente Addiction Medicine operates an intensive outpatient program (IOP) in West Los Angeles, serving the recovery community with structured addiction treatment. This outpatient clinic combines cognitive behavioral therapy with Kaiser's integrated healthcare model for ongoing recovery support.
Kaiser Permanente Addiction Medicine serves Los Angeles County as an outpatient clinic specializing in addiction treatment through their intensive outpatient program. Located on West Washington Boulevard, this recovery center integrates addiction medicine within Kaiser's broader healthcare network, offering patients coordinated care across medical and behavioral health services. The clinic maintains weekday hours and provides both in-person and telemedicine options for ongoing recovery support.
The centerpiece of their addiction treatment approach is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that allows individuals to maintain work, family, and community connections while receiving structured recovery support. This outpatient program serves those ready to transition from residential treatment or seeking step-down care after initial stabilization. The IOP format provides the flexibility needed for longer-term recovery planning while maintaining therapeutic intensity.
Cognitive behavioral therapy forms the foundation of their therapeutic approach, helping patients develop practical skills for managing triggers and preventing relapse. Treatment teams work within Kaiser's integrated model, coordinating with primary care providers and specialists to address the full spectrum of health concerns that often accompany addiction recovery. This coordination proves especially valuable for individuals managing co-occurring medical conditions alongside their substance use recovery.
The program serves Kaiser members throughout Los Angeles County, with accessibility features including American Sign Language interpretation and telemedicine capabilities. Patients can utilize their Kaiser coverage or pay out-of-pocket, with the program also accepting Medicaid for eligible individuals. The clinic's integration within Kaiser's larger healthcare system provides continuity of care that supports long-term recovery goals and connects patients to ongoing medical and mental health services as needed.
