Barely four miles north of Studio City, Quest Wellness Center offers Joint Commission accredited dual diagnosis care in North Hollywood, taken in the room or over secure video. 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.
On any given day of treatment, integrated care means the same team is working the mental health condition and the substance use in the same room rather than shuttling a person between services that never compare notes. A morning group builds a skill for the anxiety, an afternoon session takes on the drinking the anxiety feeds, and the psychiatrist adjusting medication is looking at both at once. Nothing gets handed to an outside provider who never speaks to the rest. For a dual diagnosis that single line of sight is the difference between a plan that coheres and one where the psychiatric condition under an addiction quietly slides out of view.
The neighborhood’s rhythm helps too. Studio City runs on production schedules and small-business hours, and a program four miles away with morning, afternoon, and evening tracks can slot into a hiatus week, a slow season, or the hours around a shift in a way that a Westside or downtown program never could.
A short hop separates Studio City from the facility, which counts for a lot when many programs serving the neighborhood are based well across the county. Quest sits in North Hollywood, roughly four miles over the hill by Laurel Canyon or a quick stretch of the 101, close enough that in-person attendance fits into a normal week rather than eating it. Many of the programs that advertise into Studio City are physically in Van Nuys, the Westside, or farther; a few minutes north is a genuinely different proposition, and for treatment that runs several days a week it is the proposition that keeps people enrolled. Clients along the same corridor can also find dual diagnosis treatment in Sherman Oaks and dual diagnosis treatment in Encino.
At its core, a dual diagnosis pairs a mental health condition with a substance use disorder, the two entangled. Depression or an anxiety disorder leads the psychiatric side, with trauma, bipolar illness, or ADHD close behind, against a substance. The reason it is treated as one thing is that the two are tied together, and pulling only one loose leaves the knot to retie itself. A single team holding both on one plan is the approach with staying power, and it is the way Quest runs.
At Quest a board-certified psychiatrist on the treating team holds the prescribing, because in a dual diagnosis a drug picked without a view of the substance use can quietly undercut the recovery. Seeing both, the psychiatrist can aim medication at the depression, anxiety, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, or disrupted sleep that is powering the use, easing them enough for the therapy to take. Where the addiction has a medication of its own approved for it, that becomes part of the plan too, and nothing is prescribed as a stand-in for the therapy running next to it.
At Quest the method is fitted to the specific pairing rather than pulled from a standard menu. CBT reworks the thinking that keeps both the symptoms and the use going.
DBT grows the ability to hold an intense feeling without answering it with a substance. Motivational Interviewing starts from the readiness a person genuinely has. Where trauma is doing the driving, EMDR and trauma-focused work take it on. The schedule is mostly made up of topic-focused group sessions, with individual time for more private concerns. 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 Studio City 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. The intensive outpatient program in North Hollywood steps down to fewer weekly hours across morning, afternoon, and evening tracks while allowing Studio City residents to maintain more of their regular daily routine. Outpatient maintains progress once things settle. The same team carries you across all three, and most clients step down through them as they stabilize.
Passing what a weekly hour can manage tends to surface in a week’s rhythm. Mood that slides back the moment using stops, anxiety that rises with it, the regular session forever crowded out, the unsoftened remark from someone close, are each easy to set aside. Together they mark the point a weekly hour no longer holds, and a program several days a week is what fits. The intake assessment settles which level, in confidence and at no cost.
Quest Wellness Center accepts most commercial PPO plans with out-of-network benefits, and we verify your coverage before treatment begins. Use the Verify Insurance module on this page and we will confirm your benefits, usually within about fifteen minutes.
The facility is at 10736 Burbank Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601, about four miles north of Studio City over Laurel Canyon or on the 101, and the Get Directions link below opens the route from where you are. For anyone who would rather stay home, the same program runs by telehealth statewide. For a broader look at care across the area, see dual diagnosis treatment in Los Angeles. 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.

Studio City clients typically step down gradually, PHP to IOP to outpatient, then into lighter maintenance or alumni support, and the short hop over the hill makes those tapering visits easy to keep. The step-down is planned so progress holds.
A Studio City treatment day might pair a morning group for the anxiety with an afternoon session on the substance use, in the room four miles north or by video, and the psychiatrist adjusting medication sees both at once, on one plan.
Usually, yes. PHP, IOP, and OP carry substantial clinical hours while a Studio City client keeps living at home, and for co-occurring conditions short of a medical crisis that is typically the right level. Stabilization first, when needed, is sequenced through Quest 2 Recovery.
Yes. The psychiatrist is board-certified and on the treating team, prescribing for a Studio City client’s depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or sleep issues with the substance use fully in view, therapy in parallel.
Studio City clients can be treated for depression, anxiety, PTSD or complex trauma, bipolar disorder, or ADHD when these occur alongside alcohol or drug use. The same team coordinates care for both conditions on one plan.
A few minutes over the hill, or none at all by video. Call (818) 275-9810 or verify your insurance on this page and admissions will set the assessment.
