Outpatient addiction & mental health care β PHP, IOP & telehealth β about 25 minutes from the Palisades, with virtual treatment available anywhere in California.
Pacific Palisades is one of the calmest residential corners of Los Angeles β and that calm can be misleading. In a community where most people hold it together on the outside, heavy drinking, prescription misuse, and untreated anxiety often stay behind closed doors for years. Golden State Rehab is a DHCS-licensed outpatient treatment center at 1964 Westwood Blvd in West Los Angeles, about 25 minutes from the Palisades, where adults receive structured, physician-led care for addiction and mental health without putting the rest of life on hold.
We're clear about what we are: an outpatient center, not a residential facility, and we do not run detox on-site. If medically supervised withdrawal needs to come first, we connect you with a licensed detox partner and hold your place in our program. Families are welcome to call too β including parents concerned about a teen or young adult β and we'll offer honest guidance even if we're not the right fit. And when the drive over Sunset doesn't work for your week, our telehealth track brings the same care into your home.

We're on Westwood Blvd between Santa Monica Blvd and Olympic, south of UCLA and Westwood Village. Suite 425 is on the fourth floor of the building.
Recovery grows stronger with people around it. Twelve-step and other peer meetings gather regularly in the Palisades itself, in Brentwood, and throughout Santa Monica, so a supportive room is rarely more than a few minutes from home. Before discharge, every client leaves with a weekly meeting plan they actually intend to keep.
Family members need support of their own. Al-Anon and similar family meetings run across the Westside, and our team can help you find one that fits your schedule. If structured housing would strengthen your recovery, we coordinate referrals to sober living operators across Southern California, including Comeback Sober Living β a substance-free home pairs well with our PHP and IOP schedules.
Keep two national resources handy: SAMHSA's free, confidential helpline at 1-800-662-4357 (24/7, English and Spanish) and the treatment locator at FindTreatment.gov. In a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
Finishing treatment doesn't mean losing your support system β our alumni program keeps you connected to peers and staff well after your last session.

About 25 minutes in typical traffic. Most clients take Sunset Blvd east past Brentwood and UCLA, then head south on Westwood Blvd to our office at 1964 Westwood Blvd, Suite 425. If Sunset runs slow, PCH to the I-10 East works as an alternate β and telehealth sessions can replace some in-person days.
For many people, yes β telehealth for addiction and mental health care has a strong evidence base, and our virtual track includes live video therapy, group sessions, and psychiatry anywhere in California. It isn't the right fit for everyone, so during your assessment we look at your history and needs, then recommend in-person care, telehealth, or a blend of both.
No β we are an outpatient center in West Los Angeles, and we do not provide residential care or on-site detox. You attend PHP, IOP, or telehealth programming and sleep at home.
