Whittier also has comprehensive Substance Abuse Services. We meet individuals at their current stage of recovery, from denial or pre-contemplation through long-term sobriety maintenance.

We treat people who are referred from detoxes, the Courts, Probation, DCFS, family or self referred.

Initially, we work with everyone on harm reduction strategies, while we encourage active and honest self-assessment.

As a person explores his/her own readiness for change, we reinforce new behaviors and present various models of addiction and treatment, including the use of self-help and 12 Step meetings.

A range of treatment modalities are available, from individual and group therapy to an evening Structured Outpatient Addictions Program, and psychopharmacology.
