About SCA Recovery

SCA Recovery, located in Pacoima, California, offers residential treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. The facility features comfortable accommodations with private or shared rooms, chef-prepared meals tailored to dietary needs, fitness equipment, a pool, and a hot tub.
Their comprehensive treatment approach encompasses medical detoxification from substances like heroin, fentanyl, benzodiazepines, alcohol, and opioids, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and 12-Step facilitation therapy. Clients may opt out of the 12-Step program while participating in other aspects of treatment.
Clients engage in music therapy, art therapy, and adventure therapy including hikes in the nearby canyons as part of a holistic approach. Family involvement is encouraged through scheduled visits, participation in therapy, and regular communication via phone and mail. SCA welcomes alumni to engage in on-site 12-Step meetings, weekend barbeques, sports tournaments, and ongoing support, helping ensure a lasting connection to the recovery community.
