12000 Highwater Road, Granada Hills, CA, 91344
We were built by someone who looked at what addiction is doing to this country — and decided that doing nothing was not an option.
My2Cents Recovery exists because one person saw enough. Enough families torn apart. Enough lives cut short. Enough potential buried under the weight of addiction and untreated trauma that never had to end that way. Our founder did not come to this work from his own recovery journey — he came to it from something equally powerful: a clear-eyed, unflinching look at what the addiction crisis is doing to communities, to families, and to the country as a whole — and an unshakeable conviction that high-quality, genuinely compassionate residential treatment could change the outcome for the people willing to reach out for it. My2Cents Recovery is that conviction made real — built from the ground up in Granada Hills, Los Angeles, and operated every single day with the same urgency and the same purpose that created it.

Addiction does not discriminate. It reaches into every neighborhood, every income level, every family — and it takes more than it should, more often than it has to. My2Cents Recovery was built to change that math.
The addiction crisis in the United States is not an abstraction. It is happening in living rooms, in emergency rooms, in the silence between family members who do not know what to say to each other anymore. It is happening in Granada Hills and across Los Angeles every single day — in the lives of people who are not statistics, who are not cautionary tales, who are sons and daughters and parents and friends who deserve access to treatment that actually works. Our founder saw that reality clearly and personally — not from a distance, not through a report, but in the communities around him — and he made a decision that defining the problem was not enough. Building the solution was the only acceptable response.
The mission of My2Cents Recovery is straightforward: provide the highest quality residential addiction treatment available in Los Angeles to every person who walks through our doors — regardless of how many times they have tried before, regardless of how complicated their history is, and regardless of whether anyone else has told them their situation is too far gone to treat. We do not believe in cases that are too complex. We believe in treatment plans that are not yet complex enough to match them. Every clinical decision we make, every staff member we hire, every therapy we offer, and every standard we hold ourselves to exists in service of that mission — and nothing less.
At My2Cents Recovery we made a deliberate decision early on that we would rather treat fewer people exceptionally well than treat more people adequately. That decision shapes everything. It shapes our staff-to-client ratios. It shapes our intake process. It shapes the time our clinicians spend with each client in individual therapy. It shapes the specificity of every treatment plan we build. Residential addiction treatment in Los Angeles is not a scarce resource — but residential addiction treatment delivered with this level of clinical precision and this depth of genuine human investment is. That is what we built. That is what we protect every day. And that is what every person who chooses My2Cents Recovery deserves to receive from their very first hour in our care.
We also understand that residential treatment is not the end of the recovery journey — it is the beginning of it. This is why My2Cents Recovery does not discharge clients and consider the work finished. Every client who completes our residential program is connected to a personally selected continuum of care — including sober living placement and Intensive Outpatient Program support — chosen specifically for their clinical needs, their recovery goals, and their life circumstances. We stay in the picture because recovery does not stop when residential treatment ends, and neither do we.
“To provide every person who seeks our care with the most clinically precise, most genuinely compassionate, and most individually designed residential addiction treatment available in Los Angeles — and to walk alongside them not just through treatment but through every step of the recovery journey that follows.”
Every treatment plan at My2Cents Recovery is built from scratch around the specific person in front of us — their trauma history, their substance use history, their co-occurring conditions, and their personal recovery goals. We do not use templates. We use clinical expertise.
The people who come to us are not diagnoses or case numbers. They are human beings carrying weight that has become impossible to carry alone. Every member of our team — clinical and non-clinical alike — is held to a standard of human dignity and genuine care that is non-negotiable at every level of our program.
Our responsibility to the people we treat does not end at discharge. We personally coordinate every client's transition into sober living and IOP aftercare — because we know that the period immediately following residential treatment is when the recovery is most vulnerable and when our investment matters most.
My2Cents Recovery is not the largest treatment program in Los Angeles. It is not trying to be. It is trying to be the one that people look back on as the place where their life actually changed — where the clinical care was precise enough, the compassion was real enough, and the commitment was sustained enough to make a difference that lasted. If you or someone you love is ready to find out what that looks like — we are ready to show you. One conversation is all it takes to begin.
The quality of a treatment program is only ever as strong as the people delivering it. Here is who delivers it at My2Cent’s Recovery — and what they bring to your care every single day.
When you choose a residential addiction treatment center program you are not choosing a building or a brochure — you are choosing the people who will be in the room with you during the hardest and most important work of your life. At My2Cents Recovery every member of our clinical team was selected not only for their credentials and clinical expertise but for their capacity to show up for another human being with the kind of genuine presence that makes the difference between treatment that is technically adequate and treatment that actually changes lives. Our staff is not a collection of job titles. It is a group of people who chose this work on purpose — and who bring that choice into every session, every group, every conversation, and every moment of your care.
Our licensed therapists and clinical staff hold credentials including LCSW, MFT, LPCC, and PhD-level training — with specialized expertise in trauma-focused modalities including EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy, dual diagnosis treatment, and co-occurring mental health disorders. Every clinician on our team carries a caseload that allows them to know your history, your goals, and your progress with the depth and specificity that real clinical relationships require. You will not feel like a number here. You will feel known.
My2Cents Recovery maintains on-site medical and psychiatric support for every client in our residential program. This includes medically supervised detox where clinically indicated, psychiatric evaluation and medication management for co-occurring conditions, and ongoing medical oversight throughout the residential treatment episode. Our medical team coordinates directly with our clinical team — because the line between physical and psychological recovery is not as clean as two separate departments would suggest, and we treat both with equal seriousness.
Our case managers and admissions specialists are frequently the first My2Cents Recovery voices a client or family member hears — and we hold that responsibility seriously. Every admissions specialist on our team is trained to conduct clinical pre-assessments, navigate insurance verification, answer hard questions with honesty rather than sales pressure, and create the experience of being genuinely welcomed rather than processed. Our case managers coordinate every aspect of your care from intake through discharge and aftercare placement — so that nothing falls through the cracks at any point in your treatment.
Recovery happens in the therapy room — and it also happens in the kitchen, in the common areas, in the quiet moments between structured programming, and in the daily rhythms of residential life. Our residential support staff are trained, vetted, and held to the same standards of dignity, boundaries, and genuine care as our clinical team — because every interaction a client has with every person on our staff is part of the addiction treatment center experience, and we treat it that way.
Every person who joins the My2Cents Recovery team goes through a hiring process designed to answer one question above all others: does this person have what it takes to show up fully for someone in crisis? Clinical credentials matter. Experience matters. But the thing that makes a My2Cents Recovery team member irreplaceable is the combination of clinical competence and genuine human investment that no credential alone can certify. We hire for both. We train for both. And we hold our entire team accountable to both — every single day.

in the room with you, not just going through the motions

You deserve to know who is going to be taking care of you before you walk through our doors. That transparency is not a marketing gesture — it is a clinical value. If you want to speak with a member of our admissions team before making any decisions, ask questions about our clinical staff, or simply get a sense of who we are before you commit to anything — that conversation is free, it is completely confidential, and it is available right now. We would rather answer every question you have upfront than have you arrive uncertain about what you are walking into. That is the standard we hold ourselves to — and it starts with the very first call.
Where you heal matters. The environment of recovery is not a backdrop to treatment — it is part of the treatment itself.
My2Cents Recovery is located at 12000 Highwater Road in Granada Hills, California — a residential neighborhood in the northwest San Fernando Valley that offers the combination of privacy, calm, and proximity to Los Angeles resources that quality residential addiction treatment requires. Granada Hills is not a clinical campus buried in an industrial corridor. It is a real neighborhood — quiet enough to support the internal work of early recovery, connected enough to remain close to the families, the community, and the life that every client is working toward returning to. For people traveling from outside Los Angeles, Granada Hills is accessible from every major freeway corridor in the region and our admissions team handles every logistical detail of your arrival so that the only thing you need to focus on when you get here is your recovery.
Recovery in a residential setting is shaped as much by the structure of daily life as it is by formal therapy sessions. At My2Cents Recovery the daily schedule is designed to balance intensive clinical programming — individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, and specialized treatment tracks — with the unstructured time that allows for genuine human connection, personal reflection, and the gradual rebuilding of the internal rhythms that addiction disrupts. Clients in our residential program live, eat, and recover together in an environment that is simultaneously structured enough to provide the safety that early recovery requires and human enough to feel like a genuine community rather than an institution.
The physical environment of a residential treatment program communicates something to the people living inside it — before a single therapy session begins. At My2Cents Recovery we made deliberate decisions about what that environment communicates. It communicates safety. It communicates dignity. It communicates that the people here are worth investing in — not just clinically but in every dimension of daily life during the residential treatment episode. Our facility is maintained to a standard that reflects the seriousness with which we take our responsibility to the people in our care — because the message that someone receives from their physical surroundings during early recovery is never neutral, and we choose the message ours sends with intention.
Privacy is not a luxury feature at My2Cents Recovery — it is a clinical requirement. Our Granada Hills location provides the residential privacy that allows clients to focus entirely on their recovery without the disruptions, triggers, and social pressures of their home environment. Every aspect of a client's presence in our program — their identity, their history, their treatment, and their progress — is protected under HIPAA and held to the strictest standards of confidentiality by every member of our staff. For high-profile clients, executives, healthcare professionals, and anyone for whom privacy is a non-negotiable condition of seeking treatment — our program is designed with that requirement fully understood and fully met.
Our facility meets and exceeds the rigorous safety, clinical, and operational standards required for Joint Commission Accreditation — the gold standard of quality in healthcare facilities nationwide.
My2Cents Recovery is fully licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services and listed with SAMHSA — the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration — as a verified treatment provider.
Daily individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, and specialized treatment tracks — delivered in a schedule designed to maximize clinical progress while preserving the human rhythms of residential life.
Every client's identity, history, and treatment information is protected to the highest standard of confidentiality — from intake through discharge and beyond.
Located in a quiet, private residential neighborhood in the northwest San Fernando Valley — accessible, calm, and fully separated from the triggers and pressures of daily life.
Every client who completes our residential program is personally connected to sober living and IOP aftercare — selected specifically for their clinical needs and recovery goals before they leave our doors.
If you want to see our facility, ask specific questions about the residential environment, or simply get a clear picture of what daily life looks like inside our program before making any decisions — our admissions team is ready to walk you through every detail. We offer facility tours for prospective clients and family members and we welcome every question about our physical environment, our daily structure, our staff presence, and our safety standards. Choosing a residential treatment program for yourself or someone you love is one of the most important decisions a family makes — and you deserve complete, honest information before you make it.
Accreditation is not a trophy on a wall. It is a verified, independently audited guarantee that the program treating you meets the highest clinical and operational standards in the field.
In an industry where marketing language is abundant and independent verification is rare, accreditation and licensure are the clearest signals a treatment program can offer that its standards are real — not self-reported. My2Cents Recovery holds the three most important credentials available to a residential addiction treatment program in California: Joint Commission Accreditation, SAMHSA listing, and DHCS licensure. Each one was earned through a rigorous independent review process. Each one requires ongoing compliance to maintain. And each one means something specific and consequential for the quality of care you or your loved one receives inside our program.
SAMHSA — the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration — is the primary federal agency responsible for improving behavioral health across the United States. SAMHSA listing means that My2Cents Recovery has been verified by the federal government as a legitimate, operational substance abuse treatment provider meeting federal standards for program integrity. For clients and families navigating the treatment landscape for the first time, SAMHSA listing is one of the clearest available signals that a program is operating legitimately and transparently — and not one of the predatory or substandard programs that have unfortunately given parts of the treatment industry a deserved reputation for exploitation. You can independently verify My2Cents Recovery's SAMHSA listing at any time at findtreatment.gov — because we have nothing to hide and everything to stand behind.
DHCS licensure — issued by the California Department of Health Care Services — is the state-level operational license required for every legitimate residential treatment facility operating in California. It verifies that My2Cents Recovery meets California's specific regulatory requirements for residential care facilities — including physical plant standards, staffing requirements, clinical programming standards, client rights protections, and ongoing reporting and compliance obligations. In a state with California's regulatory rigor, DHCS licensure is not a formality. It is a meaningful independent verification that the program operating at 12000 Highwater Road in Granada Hills is doing so legally, transparently, and in full compliance with the standards the State of California requires to protect the people in our care.
When you are choosing a residential addiction treatment program — for yourself or for someone you love — the accreditation and licensure status of that program is one of the most important due diligence steps you can take. The treatment industry in California contains programs that are genuinely excellent, programs that are genuinely mediocre, and programs that are genuinely predatory. The fastest way to filter out the last two categories is to verify independently that a program holds Joint Commission Accreditation, SAMHSA listing, and DHCS licensure — because no program that is cutting corners on clinical quality, staff credentialing, client safety, or operational integrity can maintain all three simultaneously. My2Cents Recovery holds all three. You can verify every one of them independently. We encourage you to do exactly that.
Our accreditations are the foundation of the trust we ask you to place in us — and we do not ask for that trust without earning it first. Every credential My2Cents Recovery holds was earned through independent evaluation, is maintained through ongoing compliance, and is verifiable by anyone who wants to confirm it. That transparency is not incidental to who we are. It is central to it. When you walk through our doors you are walking into a program that has been independently verified at the federal, state, and industry level to be exactly what it says it is — and that verification is the floor, not the ceiling, of the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
The hardest part of getting help is making the first call. Everything after that — we handle. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you reach out.
One of the most common reasons people delay reaching out to a residential treatment program is not uncertainty about whether they need help — it is uncertainty about what happens next. What will they ask me? What do I need to have ready? How long does it take? What if my insurance does not cover it? What if I am not ready to commit to anything yet? At My2Cents Recovery we believe that the admissions process should answer every one of those questions with complete transparency — before you make any decisions, before you feel any pressure, and before you commit to anything at all. What follows is exactly what happens from the moment you first contact us to the moment you walk through our doors.
When you call My2Cents Recovery you will speak with a real, trained admissions specialist — not an automated system, not a voicemail box, and not someone reading from a script. Our admissions team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including nights, weekends, and holidays. The first call has one purpose: to give you the space to tell us where you are, ask every question you have, and get honest, clinical answers without any pressure to commit to anything. You do not need to have the right words. You do not need to have made a decision. You only need to call.
During or shortly after your first call our clinical team conducts a confidential pre-assessment — a structured conversation designed to understand your substance use history, your mental health history, any co-occurring conditions, your previous treatment experiences, and your current clinical needs. This assessment is not a test and there are no wrong answers. It is the clinical foundation we use to determine whether My2Cents Recovery is the right level of care for your specific situation — and if it is, to begin building the outline of your individualized treatment plan before you arrive.
Our admissions team conducts a complete insurance benefits verification on your behalf — free of charge, with complete confidentiality — so that you have a clear, accurate picture of your coverage before making any decisions. We work with most major insurance providers including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and BCBS California. If your insurance does not cover the full cost of residential treatment our admissions team will walk you through every available option honestly and without pressure — because financial barriers should never be the reason someone does not get the care they need.
Once clinical fit is confirmed and insurance or payment is arranged our admissions team confirms your admission date, answers every remaining logistical question, and begins coordinating the details of your arrival. If you are traveling from outside the Los Angeles area our team handles every logistical detail — transportation coordination, what to bring, what to leave behind, and what to expect on your first day — so that nothing about the logistics of getting here stands between you and starting your recovery.
Your first day at My2Cents Recovery is designed around one priority: helping you feel safe. You will be welcomed by a member of our team, walked through the facility, introduced to the staff who will be working most closely with you, and given the time and space to settle in before any formal clinical programming begins. Our intake process is thorough — including a full medical evaluation, a psychiatric assessment where indicated, and the completion of your individualized treatment plan — but it is conducted with the same clinical care and genuine human warmth that defines every interaction at My2Cents Recovery from day one.
Discharge planning at My2Cents Recovery begins long before your last day in our program. Our case management team works with you throughout your residential treatment episode to identify and personally arrange the sober living placement and IOP aftercare that best match your clinical needs, your recovery goals, and your life circumstances. You will not leave our program without a clear, specific, personally coordinated plan for what comes next — because we understand that the transition out of residential treatment is one of the most clinically vulnerable moments in the entire recovery journey, and we take our responsibility for that transition as seriously as we take every other phase of your care.
The entire admissions process — from first call through arrival — is designed to answer one question at every step: does this person feel safe, informed, and genuinely cared for? Not processed. Not rushed. Not pressured. Safe, informed, and cared for. That is the standard our admissions team holds itself to on every call, every assessment, every insurance conversation, and every arrival. If at any point the process does not feel that way — we want to know, because it means we have fallen short of what we are here to provide.
You do not have to figure this out alone and you do not have to have everything figured out before you call. Our admissions team exists specifically to help you navigate every step — from the moment of first contact through your first day in our program and every day after. The call is free. The assessment is free. The insurance verification is free. The only thing that costs anything is continuing to wait — and that cost is one only you can measure. We are here. We are ready. And we will pick up the phone every single time.
The questions families and prospective clients ask most before choosing My2Cents Recovery — answered with complete honesty and zero sales pressure.
My2Cents Recovery is located at 12000 Highwater Road, Granada Hills, California 91344 — a quiet, private residential neighborhood in the northwest San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. Granada Hills offers the combination of privacy, calm, and accessibility that quality residential addiction treatment requires. We are accessible from every major freeway corridor in the Los Angeles region and our admissions team handles every logistical detail of your arrival — including transportation coordination — so that getting here is never a barrier to starting your recovery. For clients traveling from outside California our team manages every arrival detail from the moment your admission is confirmed.
Yes. My2Cents Recovery holds three of the most important credentials available to a residential addiction treatment program in California. We are Joint Commission Accredited — the gold standard of independent healthcare quality verification in the United States. We are SAMHSA Listed — verified by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as a legitimate treatment provider. And we are DHCS Licensed — fully licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services to operate as a residential addiction treatment facility. All three credentials can be independently verified at qualitycheckjointcommission.org, findtreatment.gov, and dhcs.ca.gov respectively.
My2Cents Recovery provides residential inpatient addiction treatment — the highest and most intensive level of addiction care available outside of a hospital setting. Clients live on site in our Granada Hills facility and participate in a full daily schedule of individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric care, psychoeducation, and specialized treatment tracks. For clients who complete our residential program we personally coordinate the transition into the next appropriate level of care — including sober living placement and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) support — chosen specifically for each client's clinical needs and recovery goals. We do not discharge clients and consider our work finished. We stay in the picture through every phase of the continuum.
Yes. My2Cents Recovery works with most major insurance providers — including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Humana. Our admissions team conducts a complete, confidential insurance benefits verification on your behalf at no charge so that you have a clear, accurate picture of your coverage before making any decisions. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act most major insurance plans are required to cover residential addiction treatment at the same level they cover medical and surgical care. If your insurance does not cover the full cost of treatment our admissions team will walk you through every available option honestly and without pressure.
When you are admitted to My2Cents Recovery our admissions team will provide you with a complete, specific packing list tailored to our program. In general clients should bring comfortable clothing for a residential stay, personal hygiene items, any prescribed medications in their original labeled containers, a form of identification, and insurance cards if applicable. Our admissions team will also walk you through what not to bring — including items that are not permitted in a residential treatment environment for clinical and safety reasons. If you have questions about any specific item before arrival — call us and we will give you a direct, honest answer.
Yes, but we leave it up to the clients discretion. Everything is ultimately up to the client, but we know addiction and trauma do not only affect the person experiencing them — they reshape every relationship around them. We offer structured family therapy sessions, family education, and family consultation calls for loved ones who want clinical guidance on how to best support someone in treatment. For family members who are researching treatment options on behalf of a loved one — our admissions team is available for confidential consultations specifically designed to give families the information, the clinical context, and the support they need regardless of where their loved one is in their readiness to seek help.
The length of residential treatment at My2Cents Recovery is determined by each client's clinical presentation, progress, and needs — we work closed with our clients insurance case manager to extend treatment as needed. Research consistently shows that longer treatment episodes produce significantly better long-term recovery outcomes, and we advocate strongly for treatment durations that match clinical reality rather than administrative convenience. Standard residential treatment episodes range from 30 to 90 days depending on the complexity of the clinical presentation. For clients with complex trauma histories, co-occurring mental health conditions, or long-term substance use histories a longer residential episode frequently produces substantially better outcomes — and our clinical team will be transparent with you about what a realistic and clinically appropriate timeline looks like for your specific situation from day one.
Several things — but the most important ones are these. First, we treat every client as a specific individual with a specific history — not a diagnosis to be processed through a standard protocol. Every treatment plan at My2Cents Recovery is built from scratch around the person in front of us. Second, we hold Joint Commission Accreditation, SAMHSA listing, and DHCS licensure simultaneously — a combination that independently verifies our clinical quality at the federal, state, and industry level. Third, we treat PTSD, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions with the same clinical seriousness as the substance use itself — because for the majority of the people we treat, the trauma came first. And fourth, we do not consider our work finished at discharge. We personally coordinate every client's transition into sober living and IOP aftercare because we understand that what happens after residential treatment is as important as what happens during it.
You have read who we are, what we stand for, and how we work. Now let us show you what that looks like for you specifically — starting with one free, confidential conversation.
Every person who has ever walked through the doors of My2Cents Recovery started exactly where you are right now — reading, researching, trying to figure out whether this is real, whether it will work, and whether the risk of reaching out is worth taking. It is worth taking. Not because we are asking you to trust us before we have earned it — but because the cost of continuing to carry what you are carrying without help is the only alternative, and that cost compounds every single day. My2Cents Recovery was built by someone who looked at what addiction is doing to this country and decided that doing nothing was not acceptable. That conviction is present in every clinical decision we make, every staff member we hire, and every person we have the privilege of walking through recovery. It is present in the call you are about to make.
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including nights, weekends, and holidays. When you call you speak with a real, trained admissions specialist who understands addiction, understands trauma, and will give you honest answers to every question you have — with zero pressure and zero judgment.
Find out exactly what your plan covers — free, fast, and completely confidential. Our admissions team handles the entire verification process on your behalf so that cost is never the reason you did not get the help you needed.
Not ready to call? Send us a message and a member of our admissions team will respond within hours — with the same clinical knowledge, the same zero-judgment standard, and the same honest answers you would get on the phone.
