Ten minutes from most of Burbank, Quest Wellness Center runs a dual diagnosis program out of its Joint Commission accredited North Hollywood facility, with secure telehealth on hand for anyone who would rather log in. The program treats a mental health condition and a co-occurring substance use disorder in one plan, across morning, afternoon, and evening tracks through PHP, IOP, and outpatient care.
Distance is rarely the obstacle here, which sets Burbank apart from most of the areas Quest serves. The facility sits at 10736 Burbank Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601, on the same street that runs straight into Burbank, and from most of the city it is a ten-minute drive by way of Burbank Boulevard itself, Alameda Avenue, or the short hop down Hollywood Way. The SR-134 and the I-5 both feed the trip from the north and east ends of town.
That closeness changes what treatment can realistically be. Clients looking for care just outside Burbank can also explore our dual diagnosis treatment in North Hollywood for the same integrated approach to mental health and substance use treatment. For a broader look at integrated treatment across the area, see dual diagnosis treatment in Los Angeles. Dual diagnosis care means showing up several times a week for a stretch of weeks, and a program a few minutes away is one people actually keep attending, rather than one that gets abandoned when the drive wears thin.
Burbank runs on the studios, post houses, and production offices that fill the media district, and that shapes what treatment has to work around. A long production schedule, an on-call role, or a job where taking a month off is not realistic can be the very reason a dual diagnosis goes untreated: the depression or anxiety gets managed with a drink or a pill because stopping to deal with it feels impossible. Outpatient care is built for exactly that bind. Sessions run in morning, afternoon, and evening blocks, so treatment fits around a shoot or a shift instead of ending it, and when a work week makes the drive impossible the same program runs by secure telehealth. You get real clinical intensity, a psychiatrist, and a single plan for both conditions without stepping away from the career that a month in residential would put at risk.
A dual diagnosis is a mental health condition and a substance use disorder running at the same time and feeding each other, and the reason it needs its own kind of care is that loop. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and ADHD are the conditions Quest most often sees paired with alcohol or drug use. Treat the drinking and leave the depression that drove it, and the depression pulls the drinking back. Treat the depression and leave the drinking, and the drinking keeps undercutting the medication and the therapy. The version of treatment that holds works both sides at once, on a single plan run by one team, which is what integrated care means and why it outperforms handling the two problems in sequence.
Medication at Quest is directed by a board-certified psychiatrist who manages it as part of the same plan treating the substance use, not from a separate office that never hears about the addiction. That matters more in a dual diagnosis than in either condition alone, because a prescriber blind to the substance use can choose medications that work against recovery. When depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or a wrecked sleep cycle is feeding the substance use, the right medication can bring those symptoms down far enough for the rest of treatment to take hold. Where the substance use disorder itself has an approved medication, that gets folded into the same plan. Nothing is prescribed in isolation, and medication always runs alongside therapy rather than standing in for it.
The clinical work runs on evidence-based methods matched to whichever condition sits under the substance use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy takes apart the thought patterns and triggers that drive the depression or anxiety and the use alike. Dialectical Behavior Therapy builds the distress tolerance and emotional regulation that matter most when a feeling arrives faster than you can steady it and the old response was to drink or use. Motivational Interviewing works from where a person’s readiness actually is rather than where a program wants it. EMDR and trauma-focused work treat the trauma underneath the substance use when PTSD or complex trauma is the root. Group therapy carries much of the week, each session organized around a set subject, while individual meetings give private time with a clinician to go through what the groups raise. Every group at Quest is led by a master’s-level therapist, supervised by licensed clinicians.
Quest runs three outpatient levels, and where a client from Burbank starts depends on how much the two conditions are disrupting daily life.
| PHP | IOP | OP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly Load | Several hours, most weekdays | Fewer hours across the week | Lightest, spaced sessions |
| Fits | Needing daily structure to stabilize | Holding a job through treatment | Maintaining gains |
| Tracks | Daytime | Morning, afternoon, evening | Flexible |
| Format | In-person or telehealth | In-person or telehealth | In-person or telehealth |
Partial Hospitalization is the most intensive, for people who need daily structure to steady both conditions. Intensive Outpatient steps down to fewer weekly hours across the three tracks. Outpatient maintains progress once things settle. The same team carries you across all three, and most clients step down through them as they stabilize. Clients who need structured care while continuing with work, school, or family responsibilities can also explore our North Hollywood IOP program.
Outgrowing a weekly appointment rarely announces itself; it accumulates. A month in, the pattern is legible: the drinking pauses and the mood sinks with it, the calendar swallows the one session that was supposed to help, and a friend who had been careful finally says the thing plainly. None of it looks urgent in isolation, which is exactly why it goes unaddressed until a program running several days a week becomes the obvious next step. The intake assessment settles which level, in confidence and at no cost.

Quest is at 10736 Burbank Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601, ten minutes from most of Burbank by Burbank Boulevard, Alameda Avenue, or Hollywood Way, and the Get Directions link below opens the route from where you are. For anyone who would rather not make the short drive, the same program runs by telehealth statewide. Clients farther east can also learn about dual diagnosis treatment in Pasadena. Quest also serves nearby communities, including people looking for dual diagnosis treatment in Glendale. If medical stabilization is needed first, it comes before this level of care: Quest does not run inpatient detox, so the team coordinates it with Quest 2 Recovery, our own program, and brings you into integrated care afterward.
Quest Wellness Center is about ten minutes from most of Burbank at 10736 Burbank Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601, on the same Burbank Boulevard that runs through town, with secure telehealth also available. You can do PHP, IOP, or outpatient dual diagnosis care in the room or from home.
Family sessions are part of many Burbank plans when it helps, with your consent, and the short drive down Burbank Boulevard makes it easy for a spouse or parent to join in person. The focus and pace stay yours to set.
It depends on severity and starting level, but most Burbank clients move through PHP or IOP over several weeks and step down as both conditions stabilize, keeping the ten-minute commute throughout. Length follows clinical need, not a fixed calendar.
A clinician reviews your mental health history, substance use, current medications, and what a Burbank work schedule needs treatment to fit around, then recommends the level of care. It is confidential and costs nothing.
Yes. Whether you drive in from Burbank or log in, medication for the depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or sleep problems running alongside the substance use is led by a board-certified psychiatrist on the treating team, always together with therapy.
For Burbank clients, Quest treats depression, anxiety, PTSD and complex trauma, bipolar disorder, and ADHD when they occur alongside alcohol or drug use. Treatment is built around the specific combination of mental health and substance use concerns present for each person.
Getting started from Burbank takes one call to (818) 275-9810 or a minute with the insurance form on this page. The admissions team confirms coverage and books the assessment that sets your level of care.
