About New Directions Alcohol and Drug Services Inc

New Directions Alcohol and Drug Treatment in Lancaster, CA offers outpatient and intensive outpatient programs for adults, adolescents, veterans, and families navigating substance abuse treatment and co-occurring disorders. Serving the Antelope Valley community, this outpatient clinic provides structured recovery support through cognitive behavioral therapy, family counseling, and individualized behavioral health treatment — with flexible scheduling and multiple payment options including Medicare and sliding scale fees.

New Directions Alcohol and Drug Treatment is an outpatient clinic located at 1331 West Avenue J in Lancaster, California, serving residents throughout the Antelope Valley and greater Los Angeles County. Rather than a short-term crisis intervention, this is a recovery center built for people who need ongoing, community-rooted substance abuse treatment — the kind that fits around work, family, and real life in the high desert.

The clinic offers two primary levels of outpatient care: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The IOP is particularly suited to people who need more structured support than weekly counseling but do not require residential treatment — a meaningful middle ground for those transitioning from higher levels of care or managing recovery while living at home. Both programs are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM, with Saturday hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, giving participants real scheduling flexibility.

Treatment at New Directions draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), individual counseling, family counseling, and broader behavioral health treatment. The program also addresses trauma and PTSD alongside substance use — a recognition that co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis presentations are the norm rather than the exception in long-term recovery. On-site amenities include health screenings, breathalyzer testing, snacks during treatment sessions, and transportation support, reducing practical barriers to consistent attendance.

New Directions serves one of the broadest populations of any outpatient program in the region: adolescents, young adults ages 18–25, seniors, men, women, pregnant women, veterans, court-ordered clients, emancipated youth, families, and individuals requiring HIV/AIDS support. Payment options include Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and sliding scale fees — meaning cost is less likely to stand between someone and the recovery support they need. For families and individuals in Lancaster looking for a long-term recovery partner rather than a stopgap, New Directions is equipped to meet them where they are.

Outpatient & IOP Recovery Programs in Lancaster, CA

New Directions Alcohol and Drug Treatment offers two outpatient levels of care designed to support people at different stages of their recovery journey. The standard Outpatient Program provides flexible, lower-frequency treatment for those who have stabilized and are building long-term recovery skills. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) delivers a higher frequency of structured sessions for people who need consistent clinical support while continuing to live in the community.

Both programs are available Monday through Saturday, with extended evening hours on weekdays — a practical structure for Lancaster residents who cannot step away from daily responsibilities for residential treatment. Transportation support is available, and health screenings are conducted on-site, helping remove logistical obstacles that often interrupt recovery.

Treating Co-Occurring Disorders and Trauma Alongside Substance Use

New Directions explicitly addresses trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders as part of its substance abuse treatment programs. For many people in long-term recovery, untreated mental health conditions are the factor most likely to interrupt progress — and a treatment center that integrates dual diagnosis care into outpatient programming makes a meaningful difference.

The clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), individual counseling, family counseling, and behavioral health treatment. Family counseling in particular supports the broader recovery community around each client, recognizing that sustainable sobriety rarely happens in isolation from the people closest to us.

Who New Directions Serves

Few outpatient clinics in the Antelope Valley match the breadth of populations served at New Directions. The program accepts adolescents, young adults, seniors, men, women, pregnant women, veterans, court-ordered participants, emancipated youth, families, and individuals needing HIV/AIDS support. This range reflects a genuine commitment to serving Lancaster's full community — not just one demographic slice of it.

For veterans and court-ordered clients in particular, having a treatment center experienced with their specific circumstances can make a real difference in engagement and outcomes. New Directions is positioned as a recovery center equipped to meet those distinct needs within its outpatient framework.

Payment Options and Access at New Directions

New Directions accepts Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and sliding scale fees — a combination that reflects an intentional commitment to keeping substance abuse treatment accessible across income levels. For Lancaster residents who have put off treatment due to cost concerns, the sliding scale option is worth a direct conversation with the clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What levels of care does New Directions offer for addiction treatment?

New Directions offers two outpatient levels of care: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The IOP provides more structured, frequent sessions for people who need stronger support while living at home, while the Outpatient Program suits those who are further along in their recovery and need ongoing but less intensive clinical contact.

Does New Directions treat co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use?

Yes. New Directions specifically treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis presentations, as well as trauma and PTSD. These conditions are addressed within the outpatient and IOP frameworks rather than as separate services, so clients do not need to seek mental health care at a different location.

What therapy approaches are used in the programs at New Directions?

The clinic uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), individual counseling, family counseling, and behavioral health treatment. CBT is a structured, skills-based approach widely used in addiction and mental health recovery. Family counseling involves the people closest to the client, which can strengthen the recovery community around them.

Who does New Directions serve?

New Directions serves a wide range of populations including adolescents, young adults ages 18–25, seniors, men, women, pregnant women, veterans, court-ordered individuals, emancipated youth, families, and individuals needing HIV/AIDS support. This breadth makes it one of the more inclusive outpatient recovery centers in the Antelope Valley.

What payment options does New Directions accept?

New Directions accepts Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay and cash, and offers a sliding scale fee option. The sliding scale is particularly helpful for Lancaster-area residents whose income may otherwise be a barrier to consistent substance abuse treatment.

What are the hours of operation at New Directions in Lancaster?

The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It is closed on Sundays. The extended weekday hours make it easier for people balancing work or family obligations to attend their outpatient or IOP sessions consistently.

Does New Directions offer any support for getting to and from treatment?

Yes, transportation is listed as an available facility feature. This can be a meaningful resource for Lancaster residents who do not have reliable access to a vehicle, as transportation challenges are a common reason people miss outpatient sessions.

Is New Directions appropriate for someone transitioning out of residential treatment?

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at New Directions is well-suited to people stepping down from residential treatment who still need structured clinical support before moving to standard outpatient or aftercare. Remaining in a community-based program during that transition period is associated with stronger long-term recovery outcomes.

Does New Directions serve veterans seeking addiction treatment?

Yes, veterans are among the populations explicitly served at New Directions. The program also addresses trauma and PTSD, which are common co-occurring conditions for veterans entering substance abuse treatment. Payment through Medicare and state insurance may also ease access for eligible veteran clients.
