Life After NATC

Moving Forward Together

Northridge Addiction Treatment Center Alumni Program

Returning home after residential treatment can be overwhelming and leave you riddled with anxiety.

Although you will be completely prepared to face your old life and remain sober, there will be many firsts. Being fully immersed in moments and creating meaningful personal relationships may make you feel uneasy, especially if you were using drugs or alcohol for a long time. These new experiences can cause any recovering individual tension. You are not alone. We are here for you even after you walk out of NATC’s doors.

Verify your insurance, it may cover the cost of treatment

In just a few minutes, we’ll give you perspective of how your insurance may help with your recovery from addiction. Even if you don’t see your insurance providers logo here, you may still be eligible for coverage.

Fill out the secure form and we will contact you with clarity about your insurance coverage.

A Beacon of Strength

When you become part of NATC’s alumni program, you become a part of an extensive support network, cultivating new relationships with individuals who have gone through the same recovery stages. Our program allows individuals to be in a family community who benefit from each other’s sympathy, moral support, and encouragement to live a substance-free life.

NATC holds weekly alumni 12 step meetings and embraces camaraderie with family-style barbeques every weekend. We encourage members to speak with residents to boost confidence and ambition for their life after recovery. NATC also offers quarterly events for alumni members and holds flag football, softball, kickball, and baseball tournaments. We know lasting recovery is not an easy accomplishment and an ongoing evolution. NATC’s alumni program can be your greatest relapse prevention tool.

I cannot thank all who were involved with this facility enough we have been struggling with my son Michael's addiction for so long after many attempts he would not agree to enter a center for every reason in the book, he finally agreed to try out this facility on a recovering addict Alex and Vincent helped so much getting him on board and I felt his confidence in their facility. Patrick was great and especially Jordan who shared with me all the info God Bless all these people who are dealing directly with the devil !!! Well done I spent a lot of money but so far I am so thankful to see the physical and mental changes in him. Let's keep praying for all our addicted children. Sincerely Randy Sutter

My experience at Northridge Addiction Treatment Center was one of the most rewarding and life changing experiences I have ever had. The staff was amazing; it was very obvious from the start that they truly cared about the clients. They have supported me so much in my recovery and I will be forever grateful for everything they have done for me. I feel that they will continue to support me in my recovery journey even after I go home. I have also made some of the closest and supportive friends I have ever met. I look forward to a lifetime of true friendship with all of them. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this amazing experience. I love you my friends, and I will carry you with me always.

This has been the most rewarding experience of my life and I’ve made great friends. Jude my counselor was fantastic and very in tune with me during our session. I would like to give a shout out to Andy Woodward who made this experience more fun. Jen, Clint, Brian, Patrick , Kevin, Ty and Lee were all so helpful and made this experience not only bearable but fun for me. I give you all the highest praise! Thank you so much!

Original NATC TAMPA house client. We all know my guy Andy Woodward was a big inspiration for me to get sober Andy sure deserves more money per year than what anyone’s willing to give him. Loved NATC because Andy worked there💯

I came to Northridge Addiction Treatment Center in Encino back in March not knowing exactly what I needed, only that I wanted to find the right path for my life. What I found there was more than just a treatment program, I found people who genuinely cared about me, my sobriety, and my future. From day one, I felt seen and supported. I believe that God put me here for a reason, and I want to especially recognize Andy Woodward, who had a massive impact on me. He has a way of breaking down the 12 steps that made them feel doable instead of overwhelming. His groups were some of the most engaging and eye-opening experiences I’ve ever had. He made recovery feel like something I could truly own. I also had an incredible counselor, Jude, who listened deeply and helped me work through some of the harder personal things I had buried for years. There are many others I’m so grateful for, Brian, Anthony, Pat, Olivia, Jen, Justin, and Clint. Each one of them played a part in helping me find hope again. There’s even one more staff member whose name I can’t remember, but I’ll never forget her smile, she had a calming presence that stuck with me, even in my dreams (Maybe Olivia). Idk🤔 This place didn’t just teach me how to stay sober, it taught me how to live with purpose. If you’re even slightly considering getting help, NATC could be that life-changing chapter you didn’t know you needed. Gang Gang

Coming here I didn’t know anything about recovery or treatment. I am leaving as a graduated member of this program with a plethora of information, connections, friendships, resources and knowledge. This is not just a recovery house. This is a home, the family that is employed here genuinely cares about you and your recovery. Everyone, I mean everyone is here for you. I personally have never felt anything like this. We all share something in common and you are the priority. I would recommend this program to everyone, especially those that I hold close to my heart. Not just this program. but these men and women that are here have changed my life.
