VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System–Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center provides 12 step-focused mental health and addiction recovery services for military personnel, veterans, and families in Los Angeles, California. Dedicated services are available for adolescents, young adults, seniors, LGBTQ+ persons, homeless and indigent persons, and persons with co-occurring disorders.

Clients undergoing outpatient detox receive robust medical supervision and may be prescribed FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent potentially serious complications.

Their partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are designed for clients who need high-level supervision and support but who do not require hospitalization. They are also designed for clients who are exiting intensive inpatient care or are at an elevated relapse risk. Clients receive medical and mental health assessments, personalized care planning, and comprehensive case management. They also engage in intensive individual, group, and family counseling drawing on proven modalities including CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. The program promotes clients’ sustained sobriety through robust recovery-focused life skills training addressing topics such as coping, self-care, anger and stress management, wellness, and relapse prevention.

Their general outpatient (OP) and aftercare services ensure a complete continuum of care aligned with clients’ evolving needs. In addition to continuing counseling and recovery education, their aftercare services may include step-down support, 12 step program facilitation, housing and employment assistance, and referrals for medical, mental health, and social service programs.

Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center is accredited by The Joint Commission, CARF, and SAMHSA. They accept private insurance, military insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, per session payment, and self pay. Financial aid and free services are available.
