Sherman Oaks sits in the central San Fernando Valley, a community of roughly 60,000 residents built around the convergence of the 101 and 405 freeways, bordered by Encino to the west, Van Nuys to the north, Studio City and Valley Village to the east, and the Santa Monica Mountains to the south. Simonds Recovery Center is located in Granada Hills, in the northern Valley, a straightforward drive from Sherman Oaks by way of the 405. That freeway access, the same thing that defines Sherman Oaks, is what keeps structured addiction treatment within easy reach.
Staying close to home matters for recovery. A Sherman Oaks resident in treatment can keep family nearby, hold onto work along the Ventura Boulevard corridor, and attend outpatient sessions without a long trip across the county. Treatment that stays within the Valley is easier to begin and easier to sustain, which is often what carries recovery through its first months.

Simonds provides the full continuum of addiction treatment for Sherman Oaks residents, delivered on one campus so a person can move between levels without changing providers. The levels of care include:
Each level connects to the next, so a person who begins in detox can continue through residential care, step down to outpatient, and move toward independent living within one program. A resident unsure which level fits can call (833) 781-8338 for a clinical recommendation.

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 treatment, IOP as structure is reduced, and sober living or aftercare to support the return to daily life in Sherman Oaks.
Each stage combines individual therapy, group therapy, and evidence-based clinical work, delivered by a team that includes licensed physicians and addiction psychiatrists, with round-the-clock support during detox and inpatient care. The therapies used include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family involvement, and medication-assisted treatment where it fits. Length of stay is set by clinical need rather than a fixed calendar, and every substance behind most local admissions, alcohol, fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, prescription opioids, and benzodiazepines, is treated with a plan matched to it.

Rehab serving Sherman Oaks 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.
Sherman Oaks is a professional, family-centered community, and treatment has to fit real lives. Some people entering care work in the entertainment and media businesses concentrated nearby in Studio City and Burbank and need a schedule that protects a career. Some are parents who cannot step away for weeks. Others are coming from a hospital stay or an emergency detox and need to continue care right away. The program treats adults, and each plan is built around the individual after a clinical assessment rather than fit to a fixed template.
For a Sherman Oaks resident, a treatment program within the Valley removes the obstacles that keep people from starting or completing care. A program far across the county means a long drive for family involvement, a hard commute for outpatient sessions, and a return, after treatment, to a community left behind for weeks. A program a straightforward drive up the 405 avoids all three.
This matters most during outpatient care and the transition back to daily life. IOP means attending several sessions a week while living at home, which only works when the facility is reachable, and Sherman Oaks residents already know the 405 as a daily route. Sober living and aftercare keep a person connected to the support they will rely on long-term. Keeping the full arc of treatment close to home is what makes it sustainable rather than something a person begins and struggles to continue.

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 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.
