The San Fernando Valley holds more than a million people, and for a family facing addiction, finding treatment within the Valley means recovery can happen close to home rather than across the county. Simonds is located in Granada Hills, in the northern Valley, and provides the full range of addiction treatment for adults across the region. For most of the Valley it is a short drive, which keeps a person near the family and support that recovery depends on.
Staying local matters through every stage of treatment. Family involvement is easier when relatives are nearby, outpatient care is more sustainable when the facility is reachable, and the transition back to daily life is smoother when a person never left their community. The communities served from the Granada Hills campus include:
Wherever in the Valley a person lives, the same campus delivers every level of care, so treatment does not require leaving the region.

Rehab in the San Fernando Valley is for adults who need structured, medically supported treatment for a substance use disorder rather than an occasional outpatient visit. Most people entering the program are dependent on alcohol, opioids such as fentanyl or heroin, stimulants such as methamphetamine or cocaine, or prescription medications, and many are also managing a mental health condition alongside the addiction.
The program fits several situations. Some people are entering treatment for the first time and need a full assessment before anything is decided. Some are coming from a hospital stay or an emergency detox and need to continue care right away. Others have been through treatment before and need to start again with a structured plan. Simonds treats adults, and each plan is built around the individual after a clinical assessment rather than fit to a fixed template.

Simonds provides the full continuum of addiction treatment on one Valley campus, so a person can step up or step down through the levels without leaving the program or the region. The levels of care available include:
Delivering these levels in one place matters. A person who begins in detox can continue into residential care, step down to PHP and then IOP as stability returns, and move into sober living, all within the same program and close to home. That continuity, kept inside the Valley, is one of the strongest supports for recovery holding.

Treatment begins with a clinical assessment that sets the level of care, the length of stay, and the therapies involved. From there, most people move through the continuum: detox to stabilize the body, residential or PHP for intensive daily treatment, IOP as structure is reduced, and sober living or aftercare to support the return to daily life in the Valley.
Each stage combines individual therapy, group therapy, and evidence-based clinical work, delivered by a team that includes licensed physicians and addiction psychiatrists. During detox and inpatient care, support runs around the clock, so a person is monitored through the most demanding phase of recovery. The therapies used span cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family involvement, and medication-assisted treatment where it fits, matched to the person rather than applied uniformly. Length of stay is set by clinical need rather than a fixed calendar.
Rehab in the San Fernando Valley at Simonds covers the substances behind most admissions across the region. We treat alcohol addiction, opioid addiction including fentanyl and heroin, prescription opioid dependence, stimulant addiction including methamphetamine and cocaine, benzodiazepine dependence, and polysubstance use. Each substance follows a different withdrawal pattern and a different treatment path, and the clinical team matches the detox protocol and therapy plan to the substances involved.
For substances with a dangerous withdrawal, such as alcohol and benzodiazepines, medical detox is the safe standard because withdrawal can involve seizures and other complications that require monitoring. For opioids, care focuses on managing severe withdrawal and, where appropriate, beginning medication-assisted treatment. A person can move from any of these substances into the level of care that fits their situation.

The San Fernando Valley is one of the largest regions in Los Angeles County, identified in county overdose reporting as Service Planning Area 2. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which reports data by Service Planning Area, found that countywide drug-related overdose deaths fell 22 percent between 2023 and 2024, from 3,137 to 2,438, the largest single-year drop in county history, with fentanyl-related deaths down 37 percent. Even so, fentanyl was still involved in 52 percent of accidental overdose deaths in 2024, and the county’s report is clear that the crisis is ongoing.
For families across the Valley, those figures are a reminder that treatment access still matters. An accredited, full-continuum program within the region means a person can get every level of care they need without leaving the community where recovery has to take root.
Simonds is in-network with TriWest and TRICARE and works with most major insurance carriers on an out-of-network basis, and we verify benefits on any plan in about 15 minutes. We do not accept Medicaid, Medicare, or Medi-Cal. Most commercial plans cover addiction treatment with prior authorization, and coverage typically spans detox, residential, PHP, and IOP, though the specific days and out-of-pocket cost depend on the plan. The admissions team confirms what a plan covers before treatment begins, so the cost is clear before care starts.

The facility is in Granada Hills, in the northern San Fernando Valley, and serves adults from across the region, including Van Nuys, Reseda, Northridge, Sylmar, and the west Valley. Every level of care is delivered on this one campus.

Yes. Simonds is Joint Commission accredited and licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services, which means it has met independent standards for safety and quality of care.
It depends on the substance and the level of dependence. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal usually require medical detox first, while other situations may not. The clinical assessment determines whether detox is needed before residential or outpatient care.
Cost depends on the level of care, the length of stay, and the insurance plan. Simonds is in-network with TriWest and TRICARE and works with most major carriers out-of-network, and the admissions team confirms coverage and out-of-pocket cost before treatment begins.
Yes. Because every level of care is delivered at the Granada Hills campus, a person can complete detox, residential, outpatient, and sober living without leaving the San Fernando Valley, which keeps family and support close throughout.
