About Guidance Recovery NoHo
in North Hollywood.

Guidance Recovery NoHo was created to be a place where people come back to themselves, not simply a facility where treatment happens. We set out to offer a safe and supportive setting where anyone facing addiction can take back control and start building a life centered on health, meaning and satisfaction.

Because no two recoveries look alike, our treatment is personal and grounded in evidence. You receive a care plan made for you, so that physical, emotional and mental healing all get the attention they deserve.

Our support begins the moment you first contact us and continues through each phase of recovery, with compassion, skilled guidance and a team that stays steady. Change starts here, and it is a privilege for us to share that road with you.

A Calm Place to Heal and Grow

Why We Exist

Helping people reclaim their lives from addiction

Guidance compass emblem

We exist to help people get free of addiction through care that is personalized and evidence-based, delivered in a setting that supports real change.

Our approach is holistic. We look at mind, body and spirit so the underlying causes of addiction can be treated, not just the symptoms. Clinical expertise, training in life skills and community support are combined in one model, giving each person what they need to stay well over the long term.

Getting past addiction is only part of the picture. Recovery also means finding hope again, growing more resilient and shaping a future that matters to you, and we will support you steadily throughout.

What Guides Our Care

Three principles behind every treatment plan.

01

Whole-Person Care

Clinical therapy, alternative healing practices and wellness-centered care are combined so the entire person is treated and recovery feels balanced and complete.

02

Recovery That Holds

What happens after treatment matters just as much. We teach practical ways to prevent relapse, build everyday life skills and line up aftercare, so clients can hold onto their gains and create a life they find rewarding.

03

People Who Stand With You

Connection helps recovery last. Community involvement is built into our programs, so every person has support while in treatment and after it ends.

Skilled, Caring Professionals

The People Behind Your Care

People do best in recovery when they have both skilled guidance and genuine compassion. Licensed professionals, medical specialists and peer mentors make up our staff, and all of them are focused on helping clients heal, grow and set up a strong base for lasting sobriety.

Licensed Therapists & Counselors

Our therapists use evidence-based methods in individual and group counseling, helping clients work through emotions, learn ways to cope and grow as people.

Medical Staff

Safe recovery depends on skilled medical care. Doctors, nurses and clinical specialists work on site and supervise you from detox all the way into long-term care, keeping you comfortable and protected.

Support Staff & Peer Mentors

Connection matters as much as medical care. Peer mentors and support staff offer motivation, encouragement and direction while keeping the atmosphere warm and welcoming.

Support That Continues After Treatment

Our Alumni Network

Finishing the program marks a starting point, not an ending. Through the Alumni Network, graduates keep receiving support, resources and community involvement that help them stay strong in recovery.

Staying Connected After Discharge

Events after treatment: recovery gatherings, workshops and wellness retreats that help you keep practicing healthy habits.

Time together socially: volunteering, group trips and local community activities where friendships that last can grow.

Peer support groups: meetings held regularly to share experiences, offer encouragement and keep growing personally.

Leaving our care doesn’t close the book on recovery. At Guidance Recovery NoHo, it marks the start of lifelong growth, resilience and fulfillment.
