Methamphetamine addiction continues to impact countless individuals and families across Los Angeles. With its highly addictive nature and devastating physical and psychological effects, meth can quickly take over a person’s life.
At Totality Treatment, we offer a compassionate, clinically sound, and individualized approach to help you overcome methamphetamine use and begin building a healthier, drug-free future.
Understanding Methamphetamine Addiction
Methamphetamine is a potent synthetic stimulant that directly affects the brain’s central nervous system. Known as “meth,” it triggers a powerful dopamine release, leading to intense feelings of euphoria, energy, and focus. These effects make it extremely addictive, often driving users to increase both frequency and dosage over time. The longer meth is used, the more profound and lasting its damage becomes.
Long-term meth use can result in:
- Severe weight loss and poor nutrition due to suppressed appetite
- Advanced dental decay, commonly known as “meth mouth”
- Skin lesions and infections from compulsive scratching or lack of hygiene
- Paranoia, anxiety, and hallucinations resulting from brain chemistry imbalances
- Cognitive impairments including memory loss and difficulty concentrating
Because meth’s effects are both physically and psychologically destructive, early intervention is essential. Without timely treatment, the chances of recovery become more challenging as dependency deepens and health continues to decline.
Totality Treatment: Compassionate Care in the Heart of Los Angeles
At Totality Treatment, we know that healing from methamphetamine addiction requires more than just clinical intervention—it requires a safe, empathetic space where individuals can rebuild their lives. Located in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, our center provides a welcoming, judgment-free environment where clients can begin their path to recovery with confidence and support.
Our team recognizes that meth addiction brings a unique set of physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. That’s why we follow the CARING philosophy—our core framework for client-focused care:
- Community-Oriented: We cultivate a strong sense of belonging through group support, peer engagement, and family involvement.
- Accountability-Focused: Clients are encouraged to take active responsibility for their progress and decisions.
- Recovery-Driven: Every treatment plan is anchored in evidence-based practices that support long-term sobriety.
- Integration-Centered: We help clients reintegrate into their communities with real-life tools for employment, education, and relationships.

- Goal-Oriented: Clients set clear, achievable milestones that guide their recovery and celebrate each step forward.
At Totality Treatment, recovery is more than abstinence—it’s about rebuilding a meaningful, empowered life.
Levels of Outpatient Treatment for Meth Addiction
Recovery is not linear, and individuals progress at different paces. That’s why we offer a range of outpatient options tailored to your needs, recovery stage, and lifestyle.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
The Partial Hospitalization Program at Totality Treatment is our most intensive outpatient level of care, offering a structured and immersive treatment experience without the need for overnight stays. Designed for individuals who require daily therapeutic engagement but have a stable living situation, PHP provides comprehensive support during the critical early stages of recovery. This program is ideal for clients transitioning from inpatient rehab or those facing significant substance use and mental health challenges.
Core features of PHP include:
- Up to six hours of structured programming each weekday
- Individual therapy sessions tailored to personal challenges and goals
- Group counseling focused on building community and peer accountability
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management
- Life skills development and relapse prevention training
- Dual diagnosis support for clients with co-occurring mental health conditions
By combining intensive care with the flexibility of living at home, PHP empowers clients to heal while beginning to reengage with daily life.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The Intensive Outpatient Program at Totality Treatment is a structured yet flexible option for individuals who need continued therapeutic support while reintegrating into work, school, or family life. It serves as an effective transition from more intensive care like PHP or as a step-up for those who require more than standard outpatient services. Our IOP allows clients to maintain daily responsibilities while participating in consistent treatment that addresses both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions.
Key elements of IOP include:
- Three to five sessions per week, each approximately three hours long
- One-on-one counseling with experienced, licensed therapists
- Group therapy focused on coping skills, triggers, and relapse prevention
- Family therapy options to strengthen home-based support systems
- Mindfulness practices and stress management techniques
With morning, afternoon, and evening availability, the IOP at Totality Treatment ensures access to high-quality care without sacrificing personal obligations.
Outpatient Program (OP)
Totality Treatment’s Outpatient Program is designed for individuals who have achieved stability in their recovery and are ready to take greater responsibility for maintaining their progress. This level of care is ideal for those who are transitioning from more intensive treatment or starting their recovery with a lower level of support. It offers the freedom to manage everyday responsibilities while still receiving structured therapeutic services and professional guidance.
Core features of the OP include:
- One to two individual or group therapy sessions per week, focused on long-term recovery goals
- Psychiatric check-ins and medication management based on clinical need
- Relapse prevention strategies that reinforce healthy coping mechanisms
- Peer-led accountability groups and optional family involvement for added support
- Ongoing encouragement and clinical monitoring to track progress and address challenges
Our OP helps clients maintain momentum as they reintegrate into daily life with confidence and continued care.
Comprehensive Dual Diagnosis Care
Methamphetamine addiction frequently co-occurs with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. These co-occurring disorders can intensify substance use and create complex challenges during recovery. At Totality Treatment, we provide integrated dual diagnosis care to address both addiction and mental health simultaneously, recognizing that lasting recovery requires a holistic approach.
Our specialized dual diagnosis services include:
- In-depth psychological assessments to uncover underlying mental health conditions contributing to substance use
- Psychiatric evaluations and medication management to stabilize mood, reduce cravings, and support emotional wellness
- Integrated therapy sessions that treat both substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues in a unified care plan
- Trauma-informed therapy for individuals with past emotional trauma or abuse, helping them process and heal in a safe environment
By treating the whole person—mind and body—we empower clients to achieve meaningful, sustainable recovery outcomes and a renewed sense of well-being.
Therapeutic Modalities Backed by Science
At Totality Treatment, we combine leading therapeutic techniques to help clients understand the root of their addiction and develop effective coping strategies.
Some of the primary methods we use include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Restructures distorted thought patterns and behaviors
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Enhances emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): Strengthens internal motivation to commit to recovery
- Group Therapy: Builds social connection and peer support
- Family Therapy: Rebuilds trust and promotes healing in relationships
- Holistic Therapies: Incorporates yoga, meditation, breathwork, and nutrition for mind-body wellness
These therapies are tailored to individual treatment plans and are delivered by licensed clinicians trained in addiction and behavioral health.
Virtual Treatment Through Telehealth Services
Understanding that in-person care isn’t always feasible, Totality Treatment offers virtual programs that mirror the effectiveness of our on-site services. Clients can participate in therapy and receive psychiatric care via secure online platforms.
Benefits of telehealth include:
- Easy access for those with transportation or scheduling barriers
- Confidential video sessions with licensed professionals
- Flexibility to attend therapy from the comfort of your home
