Balance Point Detox and Recovery offers medically supervised detox and inpatient residential programs that treat addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions in a compassionate, structured environment.
Balance Point Detox and Recovery is located in Encino, a quiet residential neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. Our facility provides evidence-based, medically supervised detox and residential treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders in a structured, supportive environment.
In all of our programs, we deliver comprehensive addiction treatment that is individualized to meet each client's specific needs. Our clinical team uses proven, evidence-based approaches to help clients build the foundation for lasting recovery.
Balance Point is situated in one of Los Angeles's most established residential neighborhoods. Encino is known for its tree-lined streets, well-maintained homes, and a calm atmosphere that stands apart from the pace of the surrounding city. This setting gives clients the space and stability they need to focus on treatment without unnecessary distraction.
The Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area is within walking distance of our facility. This 2,000-acre green space offers paved walking trails, Lake Balboa, a wildlife reserve, a Japanese garden, and a range of recreational facilities including tennis courts, basketball courts, and open fields. Access to outdoor activity and natural surroundings supports the physical and emotional well-being that is essential to the recovery process.
Santa Monica Beach is approximately 20 minutes west of our facility, and the hiking trails of the Santa Monica Mountains are just south of Encino. Clients benefit from easy access to both the coast and the mountains, providing opportunities for therapeutic outdoor activities and a change of scenery during treatment.
Our Encino location is easily accessible for clients and families traveling from anywhere in the country. Hollywood Burbank Airport is approximately 9 miles from our facility, and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is about 20 miles to the south. Both airports provide convenient access for out-of-state clients as well as family members visiting loved ones during treatment.
