Drug & Alcohol Rehab Serving Beverly Hills

Written by the Reggie's Recovery admissions team · Updated November 7, 2026

If you live in Beverly Hills and you are reading this, there is a good chance you have already tried to handle things quietly — a private doctor, a few weeks of cutting back, a promise to yourself that next month will be different. Many people in this city have excellent access to medical care and still find that addiction does not respond to willpower or a good concierge physician alone. Wanting a discreet, clinically serious place to get better is completely reasonable.

Reggie's Recovery Center is a licensed treatment provider based just over the hills in Sun Valley, on the eastern side of the San Fernando Valley. It is close enough that a spouse can come up from the flats south of Sunset for a family session after work, and far enough that you are not driving past your usual pharmacy, your usual bar or your usual crowd every day. This page is written for Beverly Hills residents and the people who love them, with a particular focus on something we hear about often from the Westside: benzodiazepine dependence that started with a legitimate prescription.

Why does a Sun Valley program work well for Beverly Hills residents?

Beverly Hills is a small city with a big social footprint. People run into colleagues at the same restaurants, the same gyms and the same medical buildings along Wilshire and Bedford. That familiarity can make it hard to step away without being noticed. A campus on a residential hilltop in Sun Valley gives you a real change of scenery — mountain views instead of storefronts — while staying inside a drive your family can make in under an hour on most days.

Distance also protects early recovery. When your old routine is fifteen minutes away instead of two, it is easier to let your care team build a new one. And because Reggie's offers several levels of care, you do not have to start over with a new provider when it is time to step down; your aftercare plan can be built around your life back in Beverly Hills.

Confidentiality is part of the clinical standard, not a luxury add-on. Treatment records are protected under HIPAA and the federal confidentiality rule for substance use records, 42 CFR Part 2. We do not contact your employer, and family members receive updates only with your written consent.

What if my benzodiazepine use started with a prescription?

This is one of the most common stories we hear, and it deserves to be told without shame. Medications such as Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin (clonazepam), Valium (diazepam) and Ativan (lorazepam) are prescribed for real reasons — panic attacks, generalized anxiety, insomnia, a flight, a crisis. Over months or years, the body adapts. A dose that once calmed you now just keeps you level, and missing it brings rebound anxiety, poor sleep, shakiness or a racing heart.

That is physical dependence, and it can develop even when you take the medication exactly as directed. It is not the same thing as addiction, though the two can overlap. Signs that dependence has crossed into a use disorder include taking more than prescribed, running out early, seeing more than one prescriber, combining pills with alcohol, or feeling that you cannot get through a normal day without them. In 2020 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration required a boxed warning on the entire benzodiazepine class to highlight the risks of misuse, dependence and withdrawal.

Why you should not stop on your own

Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous. Stopping suddenly — or tapering too fast — can cause severe anxiety, insomnia, confusion, and in some cases seizures, which can be life-threatening. The risk is higher with long-term use, higher doses, short-acting medications, or when alcohol is also involved. This is why medical guidance favors a gradual, supervised taper rather than cold turkey, and why "just stopping over a long weekend" is not a safe plan.

What a supervised taper looks like

In medical detox, a physician-led team assesses how much you take, for how long, and what else is in the picture — sleep, mood, other medications, alcohol. Your care team decides on a tapering protocol and adjusts it based on how your body responds, with 24/7 nursing watching vital signs and symptoms. Some people need a longer, slower taper that continues after the inpatient stay; that is normal, and the plan can carry forward into residential or outpatient care.

Treating what the pills were treating

Most people did not start a benzodiazepine for fun. If anxiety, panic or trauma sits underneath, it will still be there when the medication is gone. Our dual-diagnosis care pairs psychiatric medication management with therapies such as CBT and DBT so you leave with other ways to calm your nervous system. You can read more on our benzodiazepine addiction page and our overview of prescription drug misuse.

What does substance use look like in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles County?

Beverly Hills is its own city, but it sits inside Los Angeles County, and county public health data covers its residents. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's Substance Abuse Prevention and Control program has reported that fentanyl is now involved in a large share of the county's overdose deaths, and that many deaths involve more than one substance. That matters on the Westside, where people may assume they are only using "clean" prescription pills or party drugs. Counterfeit pills made to look like Xanax or oxycodone have been found to contain fentanyl.

For families, the practical takeaway is simple: a pill that did not come from a pharmacy should be treated as unknown. Mixing benzodiazepines with alcohol or opioids sharply increases the risk of slowed breathing. If your loved one uses any of these, keeping naloxone at home is a sensible precaution. County and state data are available through LA County SAPC and the California Overdose Surveillance Dashboard.

What levels of care are available to Beverly Hills residents?

• Medical detox — typically 5–10 days at the Sun Valley campus, with private suites, spa-style bathrooms, chef-prepared meals and around-the-clock nursing.
• Residential treatment — usually 30 to 90 days of live-in care with individual and group therapy, family work, and wellness practices like yoga and meditation.
• PHP and IOP — step-down care at Reggie's Treatment Center on W. Manchester Ave in Los Angeles, with day and evening tracks.
• Sober living — structured, supportive housing, including a residence in the Glendale hills, for people who want a buffer before going home.
• Medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine and naltrexone when clinically appropriate, for people whose use also involves opioids or alcohol.

Many people from Beverly Hills begin with detox and residential care, then continue with outpatient sessions while living at home. Your care team will recommend a path based on your assessment, not a fixed package.

How do I get from Beverly Hills to Sun Valley?

Most people take I-405 north over the Sepulveda Pass, head east on US-101 across the Valley, then north on SR-170 toward Sun Valley. Without heavy traffic the trip is roughly 30–45 minutes; weekday rush hour on the 405 can stretch it. Some drivers prefer to cross the Santa Monica Mountains on Coldwater Canyon or Benedict Canyon and pick up the freeway in Studio City.

If you have been taking a sedating medication, please do not drive yourself to admission. Ask a family member, or let our team help coordinate a ride. Visiting is structured, and family members from Beverly Hills often schedule visits and family therapy sessions around the evening commute.

Will my insurance pay for treatment?

Reggie's works with most major PPO plans. Depending on your plan, detox, residential and outpatient care may be covered at least in part. A free verification call usually takes 15–30 minutes, and your employer is not notified. You can start with our Insurance Decoder or read more on the insurance page. HMO options are limited, but we will help point you toward resources; self-pay and financing can also be discussed. We generally don't accept Medi-Cal, but if that's your coverage we'll connect you with a provider who does.

How do I start treatment from Beverly Hills?

1. Call (818) 355-1200 — a confidential conversation about what you are using, for how long, and any medical concerns.
2. Verify insurance — usually 15–30 minutes.
3. Begin care — most admissions are completed in under two hours, and many people are admitted the same day.

See the full process on our admissions page. If you are worried about a spouse, parent or adult child, our family resources explain how to start the conversation.
