Why Travel to California for Addiction Treatment?
When you’re ready to break free from addiction, sometimes the most powerful step is creating distance from the triggers, stressors, and environments that have fueled substance use. Journey Hillside Tarzana offers individuals across the United States a sanctuary for healing—a private, luxury treatment center nestled in the peaceful hills of Los Angeles, California.
Recovery from substance abuse is a life-and-death scenario. That’s why we’ve created an exclusive 6-bed facility designed to serve clients who need more than what’s available locally. Many people find that traveling out of state for treatment provides:
- Privacy and anonymity away from your community
- Freedom from daily triggers and unhealthy relationships
- A fresh perspective in a healing California environment
- Specialized care that may not be available in your home state
- Insurance coverage through out-of-network PPO benefits
Our intimate setting allows for deeply personalized treatment plans that address your unique circumstances, whether you’re struggling with alcohol addiction, opioid dependence, methamphetamine use, or co-occurring mental health disorders.

Overcoming Common Concerns About Out-of-State Treatment
“How will I afford treatment so far from home?”
We accept major out-of-network PPO insurance plans, including Cigna, UMR, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna. Our admissions team will verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before you travel. Many clients find that their out-of-network benefits cover a significant portion of treatment costs.
“What about work and family obligations?”
Recovery requires prioritizing your health and well-being. Our 30-90 day residential treatment programs are designed to help you build a solid foundation for lasting sobriety. Many employers offer FMLA protection, and we provide family therapy services to keep your loved ones connected to your recovery journey. Our case management services can also assist with employment documentation and legal matters during treatment.

Our diverse clientele includes individuals from across the United States. You’ll find yourself among peers who understand the courage it takes to seek help and the challenges of addiction. Our inclusive approach ensures every client feels welcome, regardless of where they’re from.
