Build Skills for a More Stable, Resilient Life

Self-destructive patterns can cause intense emotions and get in the way of your recovery. DBT can help manage them.

With Help, Recovery from Addiction Is Possible

DBT is about balancing two ideas that can feel like opposites: accepting where you are and working toward change. Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has since become a leading approach for treating addiction, trauma, and other mental health challenges. Our team at Northridge can use DBT to help you reduce your risk of relapse, rebuild your relationships, and respond more effectively to life’s toughest moments. Join us and make lasting progress towards your recovery goals.

Private Facility

In the heart of California’s gorgeous San Fernando Valley.

Very good place to get help at. All of the staff is Wonderful. Daily staff cleaning. Great program to enroll in for treatment. Came in here as a dickhead wanting to leave and not be in treatment, but once my time came for me to discharge I actually ended up extending my time here. If I can do it and Love it- anyone can. Got to be patient and be WILLING/OPEN to change in yourself. Highly recommend!

Early Abstinence

You’ll begin learning the four core DBT skill sets: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Maintaining Abstinence

As your skills grow, you’ll start applying them in group therapy, individual sessions, and real-world situations—learning how to regulate your reactions and avoid old patterns. Advanced Recovery

Advanced Recovery

You’ll leave treatment with a practical skill set that you can keep using after discharge to support your long-term recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions about DBT

DBT is action-focused. While traditional therapy helps you process what you’re feeling, DBT gives you a toolkit for managing those feelings in the moment—especially when you’re triggered, overwhelmed, or tempted to relapse.
No. While DBT was originally created for people with borderline personality disorder, it’s now widely used to treat anxiety, trauma, depression, substance use, and more. If you struggle with intense emotions or impulsive behavior, DBT can help.
Substance use often becomes a way to escape emotional pain. DBT helps you build new ways to tolerate distress, manage urges, and cope without using. It also improves your ability to handle conflict and rebuild trust in relationships.

“ I can’t explain the gratitude that I have for this location. They took my son in and mentored him and loved him like he was family. Today by the grace of God he is sober and living the life that the good Lord intended for him. My family and I will be forever grateful for this facility and the many God sent “Angels” that rescued my son from himself.”
