ABOUT SANCTUARY TREATMENT CENTER

Sanctuary Treatment Center is a luxurious residential program for women located in Encino, California, just 20 miles north of Los Angeles. We offer comprehensive treatment for chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health disorders. Our facility is specifically designed to cater to the needs of women, aligning with the specialized treatment provided by only 51.5 percent of facilities in California.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

At Sanctuary Treatment Center, we utilize gender-specific programming that combines evidence-based approaches, trauma-informed care, holistic treatments, and 12-step practices. Our treatment includes individual and small group counseling sessions, as well as family therapy, educational groups, and various therapeutic modalities such as rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). These counseling sessions aim to develop skills for emotion regulation, setting healthy boundaries, improving communication, and enhancing overall life skills. Our clients also participate in creative arts therapy and engaging psychodynamic process groups.

In addition, our clients attend psychoeducational classes to gain a deeper understanding of the disease model of addiction, learn relapse prevention techniques, and identify triggers. We also encourage participation in on- and off-site 12-step meetings. Sanctuary Treatment Center also invites families and friends to attend weekly family groups focused on addressing codependency and understanding the unique role of families in the recovery process.

Incorporating a holistic approach to recovery, Sanctuary Treatment Center emphasizes health and wellness. We offer opportunities for regular gym outings, on-site yoga sessions, therapeutic massages, and participation in Rock for Recovery, a renowned music therapy program. Additionally, religious services are available for those interested.

  • I enjoy working here at sanctuary. It is such a great environment and team based effort in getting people into treatment and saving a life!! I wouldnt want to work anywhere else. Our Clinical Approach Impact is committed to compassionate and common sense treatment for all who seek help. We offer both residential and outpatient programs for adult men and women. Our admissions department screens and assesses each individual in order to determine the appropriate level of care based on a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) diagnosis as determined by the ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) assessment tool. Individualized treatment planning and other services are then established through collaboration between counselor and client utilizing the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), evidence � based assessment tool. Our professional and certified staff provides an array of specialized counseling and therapies that address fundamental barriers to a lifetime of recovery. Threaded throughout treatment is the time honored and effective 12 Step philosophy and its principles that emphasize: responsibility, accountability and integrity.

  • 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!!

  • There's always someone for the clients to talk to if their are any problems or even for leisurely conversation. It's a comfortably structured environment, clients have a set schedule, and attend intense, beneficial, and in-depth group therapy. They are provided for in all aspects, hygiene, meals, health, games. It's a calm energy, and a nice house with even nicer rooms and restrooms. There's none to share. My experience has been nothing but welcoming and helpful, you really feel a sense of accomplishment, gratitude, and hope. My only wish for this facility is that it becomes more well known, I strongly feel that a lot more woman would benefit and grow stronger having gone through a facility like Sanctuary. It eases you into what the next step in Life; and with anything outside of a facility that needs to be handled - this facility helps provide you with any information you may need, Sanctuary really cares about the specifics of every Individual that needs Help.
