Quest Wellness Center treats dual diagnosis for Encino from a Joint Commission accredited site about fifteen minutes east, in North Hollywood, and by secure video for those who would rather skip the drive. 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.
For most of Encino the route to Quest runs east along Ventura Boulevard or a quick jump onto the US-101, and off-peak it lands around fifteen minutes to the facility in North Hollywood. Clients looking at treatment across the broader area can also learn more about dual diagnosis treatment in Los Angeles. That is close enough that in-person attendance is realistic for a lot of Encino residents, though the 101 at rush hour is its own argument for the telehealth option, which runs the identical program from a private room at home. Which one a person picks usually comes down to when their track meets and how the drive is behaving that week.
For some people in Encino, the mental health condition may be present before the substance use becomes obvious. It may begin with unnamed anxiety or quiet depression, followed by a drink or pill that initially seems to take the edge off. By the time anyone calls it a problem, the substance use has grown into its own condition sitting on top of the anxiety or the low mood that started the whole thing. Quest treats that order of events directly, going after the psychiatric condition underneath rather than stopping at the substance use on the surface.
Naming a dual diagnosis correctly is the first real piece of work, because an anxiety disorder and the drinking that grew beside it can look like one problem or two depending on who is looking. A dual diagnosis is simply a psychiatric condition and an addiction present at once, each shaping the other. The psychiatric side is usually a mood or anxiety disorder, sometimes trauma, a bipolar condition, or ADHD, opposite alcohol or a drug. Because each one keeps the other going, the plan has to hold both, and at Quest a single team does exactly that.
A board-certified psychiatrist runs the medication piece, and keeps it tied to the substance use work rather than floating off on its own. This is the part that goes wrong when an anxious client gets handed a prescription by someone who never asked about the drinking. On one team, the psychiatrist sees the full picture and prescribes for it: when anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or a sleep problem is fueling the use, the right medication can pull those symptoms down enough that the rest of the plan gets traction. If the addiction has an approved medication of its own, it goes in the same plan, and medication always sits next to therapy, not in place of it.
Encino clients are matched to methods by what is actually driving the pair. For anxiety wound through the substance use, CBT retrains the loops that keep both spinning and DBT supplies the skills to sit with a surge of feeling without using. Motivational Interviewing meets a person at their real level of readiness. Trauma at the base of the using is taken up directly through EMDR and trauma-focused sessions. Topic-focused groups make up most of the weekly schedule, while individual sessions address concerns that are better handled privately. ACT, SFBT, psychodynamic therapy, and coordinated TMS care through Breakthrough TMS may be added when appropriate. 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 Encino 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. Learn more about IOP in Encino and how the program works for local clients. Outpatient maintains progress once things settle. The same team carries you across all three, and most clients step down through them as they stabilize.
For an anxiety-led dual diagnosis, the sign it has outgrown weekly care lives in how the week behaves. Calm that holds only while using, dread that climbs the instant it stops, a session postponed because everything else ran over, and a candid word from someone close, are simple to rationalize one by one. Read together they say a weekly hour has run out of room, and a multi-day program takes its place. The intake assessment settles which level, in confidence and at no cost.

The facility is at 10736 Burbank Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601, about fifteen minutes east of Encino on Ventura Boulevard or the 101, and the Get Directions link below opens the route from where you are. Nearby Valley clients can also review dual diagnosis treatment in Woodland Hills and dual diagnosis treatment in Van Nuys. For anyone who would rather stay home, the same program runs by telehealth statewide. 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 fifteen minutes east of Encino at 10736 Burbank Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601, by Ventura Boulevard or the 101, with secure telehealth also available. You can do PHP, IOP, or outpatient dual diagnosis care in the room or from home.
Yes. Quest treats anxiety and substance use together for Encino clients, addressing the anxiety or depression underneath the use as part of the same clinical plan rather than treating the two conditions separately.
Yes. If the 101 or Ventura at rush hour is the obstacle, the identical program runs by secure telehealth from home, so an Encino client never has to sit in traffic to attend.
No. IOP and outpatient run morning, afternoon, and evening tracks, and telehealth removes the 101 drive, so most Encino clients keep working through treatment.
Yes. An Encino client’s medication for the anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or broken sleep underneath the use is prescribed by a board-certified psychiatrist on the team, every choice made in view of the addiction, therapy beside it.
For Encino clients, Quest treats anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex trauma, bipolar disorder, and ADHD when they occur alongside alcohol or drug use. The treatment plan is based on the specific combination of conditions present.
If the anxiety and the using have tangled together, this week is a fine time to untangle them. Call (818) 275-9810 or verify coverage above and the admissions team takes it from there.
