The Little Beach House in Los Angeles, CA provides a supportive and comfortable environment for residents to slowly transition back into society. We also promote healthy recovery through our addiction treatment programs.
When getting sober you ultimately have to learn to make an alternative world that interests you, engages you, and that you’re passionate about. One that allows you to discover another dimension to life other than the one of substances.
We created our therapeutic transitional living program structure with the mindset that everybody’s recovery path usually looks different from one another’s. Our job is to pay close attention to the details and nuances of your goals, needs, and desires so you have the best chance of achieving a sober life.
We believe one of the greatest keys to success in recovery is having a sustained personal routine that you are comfortable with and can incorporate into your daily life. The goal is to help you find a routine that will build a foundation for your future.
The Little Beach House Transitional Living program offers a comprehensive long-term lower-level Partial Hospitalization option, featuring continuous outdoor, experiential, and somatic treatment modalities coupled with intensive individual therapy sessions. Clients at this level of care actively participate in educational pursuits, work opportunities, career development endeavors, and meaningful volunteer work. Our model focuses on developing skills in time and task management, financial literacy, and fostering enduring relationships with peers.
During this initial phase, the program is dedicated to exploring and addressing maladaptive patterns, unhealthy behaviors, and negative coping mechanisms that participants may have adopted, while also delving into the understanding of their trauma or mental health challenges. Participants benefit from extensive support from their clinical team and our team of recovery coaches, who are readily available to assist with any issues or needs that may arise. Participants will actively get involved in the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous by working with a sponsor on the transformative 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and engage in a minimum of 5 AA meetings per week. Participants will adhere to our 3x weekly drug screening and daily breathalyzer test.
A crucial element of this phase entails intensive collaboration with a clinician to identify and address any mental health challenges contributing to maladaptive patterns and negative behaviors associated with substance abuse. Each guest is required to complete 24 individual therapy sessions during the initial 90 days, establishing a long-term therapeutic relationship with their clinician to support them throughout the year-long program.
Another crucial aspect of our program is ensuring that participants have access to a well-designed medication management plan overseen and administered by a licensed Medical Doctor. Our goal is to ensure that each individual maintains stability on medication and follows the correct protocol to prevent adverse side effects. To achieve this, each program attendee is required to see a Doctor weekly to bi-weekly during Phase 1, transitioning to monthly visits. We collaborate with specific Board-certified doctors who conduct a total of 7 sessions within the first 90 days.
We provide a comprehensive therapeutic coaching program aimed at delivering personalized one-on-one support throughout Phase 1. Every individual will engage in our exhaustive therapeutic coaching program designed to assist them in addressing various crucial areas, such as:
Incorporating adventure and experiential therapy into our program, we provide mandatory outdoor activities that foster physical health, teamwork, and self-discovery. These experiences empower clients to develop new skills and interests, enriching their overall path to recovery. All program attendees must actively participate in the diverse daily activities offered by the program. Some of these therapies might include:
At our program, we believe that the cornerstone of a fulfilling life lies in embracing the principles outlined within the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Whether individuals are grappling with substance abuse or facing other challenges, the 12 steps of AA have proven to be a transformative self-help program for millions. We mandate that each guest secures a sponsor and initiates the journey of working through the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Program attendees are required to engage in weekly meetings with their sponsor with the objective of completing the 12 steps of AA during Phase 1.
We are firm believers in the idea that a purposeful life centers around fulfilling one’s purpose. We motivate and guide our program attendees to explore job opportunities and career paths that align with their interests. Our aim is for program participants to secure employment by the conclusion of Phase 3, ensuring that they enter Phase 4 either employed or actively seeking employment. We view employment, whether part-time or full-time, as a catalyst for instilling purpose, confidence, independence, and valuable societal engagement. Clients are encouraged to start seeking employment after the initial 30 days, typically commencing work towards the end of the third month.
Every 6 to 8 weeks, our program embarks on an outdoor expedition as a collective group. These expeditions serve as powerful community-building exercises that strengthen bonds among individuals, creating enduring friendships and lasting memories. Additionally, these expeditions provide each program participant with the opportunity to explore new hobbies and interests. The Expedition Program offers a comprehensive approach to recovery by integrating the therapeutic benefits of nature, physical activity, adventure, camaraderie, and skill-building. Through embracing new challenges and immersing themselves in the natural environment, participants can cultivate a robust foundation for long-term sobriety and a rewarding life in recovery.
