Our Approach

While I knew I was not qualified to self-diagnose, I knew enough to know something was just not right. I have always been a social butterfly. Over the last couple of months I had no energy for the activities I usually find such pleasure in and no desire to see my friends. Coming to The Meadowglade has really helped me to get a handle on the inner issues that caused the change.

Our daughter had been prescribed a strong medication after she was hurt during gymnastics practice. We never expected it to lead to an addiction. We’re so grateful to the staff of Beachside for helping her when we could not.

My sister-in-law participated in several their programs, and as a result, they provided her with exceptional services, which drastically altered the course of her life. And yes, I am aware that the path to recovery is a long and arduous one, and that everyone is unique, which is why the tailored treatments that they receive are so effective.

The best decision I made for myself was to finally get treatment for my addiction. It was the hardest thing I think I’ve ever had to do, there is no doubt about that. For quite a while I was too scared to even try to change that about myself but taking those steps has given me a new life.

My daughter has never had the best relationship with mealtime, but I never imagined it would become a full-blown eating disorder. I am very grateful to the staff at Los Angeles Outpatient for giving her a safe environment to get better.

After the death of my husband, I had severe depression and anxiety that I thought I was handling ok. It wasn't until my friends reached out to me about Los Angeles Outpatient that I realized it had gotten so much worse. The team of professionals working at the center have just really helped me with tools and techniques on how to deal with my anxiety and depressive moods. I'm grateful to this program and to my friends for recommending me to it.

Without Hillcrest’s compassionate staff, my daughter would not be with me today. They helped her gain the skills she needed to manage her depression and helped me learn to work with her. We still have rough days, but now we can cope with them when they come. Thank you, Hillcrest!

I began treatment for anorexia at LAOP after being hospitalized. Between daily nutrition counseling and therapy, I am slowly building a better relationship with food and with myself.

L.A. Outpatient is an amazing treatment center. The quality of care from the amazing people that work there is a major part of what changed my life and the way I think about my recovery. I had zero coping skills before coming here which is how I ended up in this mess in the first place.

When my brother’s ODD came to a head last year, my family was at our wits end and it became clear he needed more help than we could provide. All of us did our research and eventually I came across Hillcrest. It seemed like a great place. So far, we’ve all been working with them for about a month and we’re seeing a huge difference in my brother’s behavior.
