About This Facility

About Alternatives

Alternatives, located at 1420 South Central Avenue in Glendale, CA, is a comprehensive treatment facility operated through Glendale Memorial Hospital that serves individuals struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. The facility is dedicated to supporting diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, seniors, and people living with HIV/AIDS, recognizing that recovery looks different for everyone. By offering both inpatient hospitalization and outpatient care, Alternatives provides flexible treatment pathways tailored to each person's unique circumstances and clinical needs.

Treatment Programs at Alternatives

Alternatives offers a full spectrum of evidence-based treatment services designed to address substance abuse at every stage of recovery. Detoxification services provide medically supervised withdrawal management to help clients safely begin their treatment journey, while buprenorphine treatment is available for individuals with opioid use disorder, offering a medication-assisted approach proven to reduce cravings and support long-term recovery. The facility's inpatient or hospitalization care is appropriate for individuals requiring intensive clinical monitoring and therapeutic support, while outpatient programs allow clients to maintain employment, family connections, and community involvement while receiving care. For individuals managing both substance use and mental health conditions—known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders—Alternatives provides integrated treatment that addresses both conditions simultaneously, which is essential for sustainable recovery.

Insurance & Payment at Alternatives

Alternatives accepts multiple forms of insurance and payment to ensure that financial concerns do not prevent individuals from accessing care. The facility works with Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance including VA and Tricare benefits, and offers self-payment options for those without insurance coverage. Many insurance plans, including those covered under the Mental Health Parity Act, provide substance abuse treatment benefits equivalent to medical and surgical benefits, helping to reduce out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about your specific coverage, the admissions team can help verify your benefits and discuss available options.

If you or a loved one is ready to take the first step toward recovery, reach out to Alternatives today. Call (818) 502-1900 ext. 4 to speak with a compassionate admissions specialist who can answer your questions and help guide you through the process of getting started.
