Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Gardena, CA
The city of Gardena, California, is just southwest of Los Angeles and home to roughly 60,000 residents.1 It is one of the smaller cities in Los Angeles County and essentially a suburb of Los Angeles metro. Although small in population, Gardena struggles with many of the same substance abuse problems as larger cities, including opioid abuse and addiction.
Our nation is currently facing an opioid abuse and overdose crisis, fueled in part by years of overprescribing and under-monitoring of opioid painkillers like hydrocodone and oxycodone. In 2012, one-quarter of the doctors in Los Angeles County wrote 91% of all the opioid prescriptions that were dispensed.2 Between 1997 and 2007, there was a 600% increase in the number of opioids prescribed and an almost 300% increase in related opioid overdose deaths.3
Many people who receive prescriptions for opioid painkillers do not need all the pills they receive, so these drugs stay in medicine cabinets for a long time. This means that people who struggle with opioid addiction can go into a loved one’s home and likely find a narcotic to abuse. One way to reduce this risk is by participating in prescription take-back programs, where unused prescriptions can be turned in at drop boxes. 3
If you know someone who is struggling with opioid abuse, you can help them get the evidence-based treatment they need. Call our helpline to learn more about treatment for opioid addiction or any other substance abuse problem.

Sanctuary Treatment Center
As a former client here I can honestly say that this place saved my life. The treatment team was amazing and they incorporate all aspects of living a healthy life. Including regular massages, daily yoga and trips to the gym. The owner is incredible and really cares about helping people. It's a very high end facility with no more than 6 patients at a time to ensure each client gets individualized care. I would highly recommend this facility- if you are looking to get sober, this is THE place!!
SV Recovery
Just got back from my retreat, the place was amazing. Everybody from top to bottom was informative and helpful. The crew there is very well educated and was able to identify and to specify each individual\'s needs. Each group and activity is designed specific for the recovery process. All of the counselors there we\'re very motivated and well in tune with what I needed. If you are searching for a Recovery Center look no further this place is a lifesaver and is exactly what you are looking for .
Luxe Recovery
I’m so glad I decided to come here. I’m from a very small town in Ohio where there is not a lot of great treatment centers and I’ve tried for the last 2 years to get clean. I needed to make a change. My friend went here and is still sober and totally a changed person. That’s what I needed so I made the decision to come here. I came here nervous and uncomfortable because I was so far away from home . Ara was the first person I met here and he was just so kind and very informative about their treatment program. I had no idea he was one of the guys that owned this place. I have never met an owner from any treatment center I’ve been to and for him to take his time out to come and get me and make me feel way more comfortable is just completely amazing and he is also not an addict. He is not did not once make me feel bad about being one you can just tell he really wants to help people change their lives . So I showed up to this beautiful house and it really just had this amazing vibe to it and I started feeling way better about the choice to come here. Every tech I have met is in recovery and are super inspiring and are always willing to talk if we need it and will go above and beyond to help you with a problem your facing. The therapist are really nice and want to truly help you. Everyone is super professional but also personal. They make you feel like we’re all family and they wanna see us be the best people we can be. I recommend anyone to come and experience something different then your old medical treatment centers that have to see 50 or more clients and really get that one on one personal time with yourself and your therapist it was a great experience and if God forbid I relapse I know I can come here with open arms and have no judgment towards me. I’m just happy I made it back alive this is a home away from home with the structure I always needed in my life thank you Luxe for helping me save my life.
More Info
According to a Harvard publication, the American Psychiatric Association defines problem gambling as follows:
- Use of gambling as a coping strategy for other life issues
- An inability to be honest about gambling activities
- Sacrificing personal relationships and careers as a result of gambling behavior
- Constant thoughts about gambling
- An inability to cut back on gambling
- Impulsive behavior when gambling; for example, giving in to the desire to continually increase the size of wagers
When exploring treatment options for gambling addictions, ensure that you learn about the treatment approaches used. Pose the following questions:
- Is outpatient treatment for my gambling addiction sufficient, or should I consider being admitted to an inpatient program? Do I have a choice?
- What psychological treatment protocols are used (since gambling addiction recovery has a strong psychological/emotional component)?
- How can you ensure that my addiction won't transfer to a different substance or behavior?
We can provide you with additional questions to ask treatment centers based on your gambling history. Contact us today.
