Foundations Recovery Center provides opioid addiction treatment in Encino, CA, for adults who want medical help. Opioid use can raise overdose risk and disrupt daily functioning. We start with a medical assessment and a structured clinical review process to understand your needs. Our team follows a treatment plan that includes therapy sessions and ongoing progress checks, while also supporting co-occurring mental health symptoms.
Medical supervision is essential during opioid treatment, as withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and dose changes can impact overall health. Our team monitors changes in withdrawal symptoms and cravings and updates the treatment plan as needed.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment that evaluates physical health, mental health, and personal history. You share current opioid use, past withdrawal problems, and current medications. The intake results shape a treatment plan that includes goals, visit frequency, and follow-up checks.
Medical care may include FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine or methadone, depending on your needs. These medications can ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings while helping balance brain chemistry.
We treat more than one type of opioid because each drug can affect the body differently. Some opioids begin as prescribed pain medications, while others come from illicit supply and have a higher overdose risk. The opioid type helps us plan symptom monitoring, risk reduction, and therapy focus during care.
Oxycodone is a prescription opioid used to manage pain. Misuse can increase tolerance and lead to higher doses over time. Some people use it for relief or sedation, but stopping suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms. We review how often and how much you use and screen for overdose and withdrawal risks.
Hydrocodone is another prescription opioid used to reduce pain, often after surgery. Some people begin with short-term use and then increase the dose or frequency over time. As use continues, the body adapts and withdrawal symptoms may appear between doses. We focus on craving-control skills, risk-reduction planning, and recovery routines that support follow-through.
Morphine is a powerful opioid pain medication with a high potential for dependence. It binds to opioid receptors and can slow breathing at higher doses. Misuse may increase dependence and overdose risk. Our medical team reviews opioid history and builds a plan that supports safer recovery work.
Fentanyl is a very strong synthetic opioid. Even small amounts from illegal sources can greatly increase overdose risk. Sometimes, people do not realize fentanyl is mixed into other drugs, which increases danger. Our team checks overdose risks, reviews recent use, and builds safety planning into treatment.
Opioid withdrawal can begin when opioid use drops or stops. Symptoms range from mild to severe depending on dose, potency, and duration of use. If you notice these signs, medical care can monitor hydration, sleep loss, heart rate, and blood pressure in the early stages while reducing risks tied to vomiting, diarrhea, and severe agitation.
Overdose risk rises when tolerance drops after a break from opioids. Risk also increases when opioids are mixed with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other sedatives. Getting opioids from an unknown street supply further raises the risk of severe overdose.
At Foundations Recovery Center, we screen for these factors during intake and ongoing check-ins. We review breathing issues, past overdose events, and access to naloxone. Our team builds a safety plan, supports medication options when appropriate, and updates goals each week as symptoms and risk levels change.
Therapy focuses on the behaviors and triggers that lead to opioid use. Each therapy type addresses different needs, including cravings, stress, and impulse control. We use structured sessions with clear goals, and you practice skills between visits and review them in therapy. Treatment also supports mental health symptoms that may increase relapse risk.
Helps when home stress affects recovery. Sessions focus on communication, boundaries, and supportive roles while reviewing what helps recovery versus what increases conflict. The goal is to improve relationships and home stability.
Group sessions provide peer support and accountability. You hear how others manage cravings and high-risk situations while practicing coping skills and receiving feedback. This setting reduces isolation and supports weekly goal follow-through.
Focuses on links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You identify patterns that drive use, such as stress thoughts or hopeless beliefs, while the team tracks progress and adjusts goals.
Supports distress tolerance and emotion regulation. It helps when urges rise during conflict, panic, or anger by building mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Support sleep, nutrition, and stress control through mindfulness, yoga, and fitness. These tools improve mood stability, focus, and recovery routines between sessions.






Opioid addiction treatment requires the right intensity of care to support recovery. We offer different levels of care, from structured day programs to lower-hour weekly treatment. Care levels adjust as symptoms change, based on withdrawal risk, cravings, mental health symptoms, and home stability.
PHP provides a higher-intensity outpatient level with structured daytime treatment. You attend extended sessions but return home afterward. Care may include psychiatric check-ins and medication management when indicated.
IOP provides focused care without an overnight stay. You follow a structured weekly schedule and attend multiple therapy sessions while continuing daily responsibilities.
IIP offers a flexible and highly targeted care option. Sessions address complex or high-risk symptoms, including co-occurring disorders or specific clinical concerns needing added focus.
EOP runs during evening hours for those unable to attend daytime sessions. The schedule typically runs Monday through Friday, meeting three to five times per week, with sessions from 6 PM to 9 PM to support work and family schedules.
Outpatient rehab fits when you remain medically stable between visits and can follow care recommendations. You attend scheduled sessions and work on triggers, routines, and coping skills. If withdrawal or relapse risk rises, a higher level of care may be recommended.
Many adults with opioid addiction also experience mental health disorder symptoms alongside withdrawal. When both conditions occur together, treatment must address each simultaneously because they affect thoughts, emotions, and stress responses.
At Foundations Recovery Center, we assess mental health symptoms during intake and ongoing clinical reviews. We provide therapy and evaluate medication needs when appropriate. Integrated care that treats both opioid use and mental health symptoms supports stronger recovery outcomes and daily functioning.
Opioid treatment supports safe recovery under medical supervision. You receive help managing cravings, withdrawal discomfort, and high-risk decisions while stabilizing both brain and body. Treatment then focuses on coping skills, relapse prevention, and structured routines for sleep, nutrition, and stress management.
Relapse prevention begins during treatment. Our team works with you before discharge to build an aftercare plan that supports coping skills, daily structure, and early warning sign awareness.
After completing IOP, we review next-step options such as standard outpatient care, weekly counseling, or local recovery groups. These supports help maintain progress between visits and after program completion.
