Reshape the Way You Think—and How You Heal

CBT is one of the most effective and widely studied therapies for addiction recovery.

With Help, Recovery from Addiction Is Possible

Thoughts influence behavior—and behavior reinforces how we see ourselves. For many people in recovery, breaking that cycle starts with identifying the thoughts that keep them stuck.
CBT helps you investigate the assumptions that underpin your addiction so you can make different choices about substance use. Our licensed therapists guide you through strategies that improve emotional control, reduce reactivity, and build better habits over time.

Daily Support

Our team is on-site 24/7 to provide support when you need it.

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!

What to Expect When You Stay with Us?

No two journeys are the same, but most of our clients progress through a series of recovery stages. Here are some of the milestones you may encounter during your stay:

Treatment Initiation

We start by getting to know how you think—your patterns, your self-talk, your default reactions—and identifying what’s been holding you back.

Early Abstinence

Learn to catch distorted thoughts in the moment, explore how they fuel cravings or self-sabotage, and start practicing tools to respond differently.

Maintaining Abstinence

Apply CBT techniques in group and individual settings to reduce urges, regulate mood, and replace self-defeating behaviors with healthier ones.

Advanced Recovery

Take what you’ve learned and apply it to life beyond treatment—building a plan for continued growth, relapse prevention, and long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions about CBT

How does CBT help with addiction?

CBT teaches you how to question automatic thoughts, slow them down, and respond in healthier ways. This can often be useful in addiction therapy to help curb old cravings and break established habits.

Is CBT used alone, or with other treatments?

CBT can be useful by itself or as part of a broader recovery plan. At Northridge, we can combine CBT with other evidence-based therapies, 12-step facilitation, and (when appropriate) medication-assisted treatment. Our team will create a personalized recovery plan for you based on your specific needs and goals.

How long does CBT take to work?

Many people start noticing small but meaningful shifts after just a few sessions. The real power of CBT comes from consistent practice—which is why we start building those skills from your first week with us.

“ 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.”
