Our Story Begins in Los Angeles
Clearview Treatment Programs began as an outpatient program in Los Angeles with a clear mission: to help adults facing mental health and substance use challenges bridge the gap between intensive care and life at home. By providing structure, clinical expertise, and a safe place to practice recovery skills, Clearview helped clients reduce the risk of relapse and reintegrate into their communities with confidence.
Founded in 2000, Clearview has spent more than 25 years delivering evidence-based mental health and substance use care for adults.
Clearview’s outpatient treatment program met and exceeded those goals, becoming one of the most long-standing outpatient programs in Southern California. Clearview’s Outpatient Treatment Center now includes individualized partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs to treat mental health disorders, addiction, and dual diagnosis.
Expanding Care for Co-Occurring Disorders
In 2004, Clearview broadened its mission to address the challenges faced by adults living with both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Clearview opened its first residential extended-care program in Venice Beach, giving adults of all genders the structure, support, and time they needed beyond the traditional 30-day model.
A year later, Clearview launched its dedicated program for addiction with co-occurring mental health conditions, meeting a critical need in Los Angeles for integrated care.
Over the years, these programs have become nationally recognized, evidence-based models that have helped hundreds of adults rebuild their lives and move forward with confidence.
Specialized Care for Women with BPD
In 2008, Clearview set out to change how borderline personality disorder (BPD) is treated, recognizing that women living with BPD were too often underserved by traditional programs.
The result was the Women’s Mental Health Program in Venice Beach — a specialized program grounded in comprehensive dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Why Venice Beach?
Both of Clearview’s residential treatment centers sit in Venice Beach, less than a mile from the coast. Many coastal treatment programs are deliberately secluded. Clearview took the opposite view, recognizing that clients benefit from recovering within a real-world environment rather than apart from one.
In Venice Beach, clients can face real triggers from the safety of a structured residential setting, and practice gradual reintegration through community passes and outings. Clients also receive support pursuing work, school, and volunteer opportunities nearby.
Sharing Expertise, Strengthening Communities
Clearview’s mission extends beyond its treatment centers. Clearview’s clinical experts travel nationwide to lead workshops, provide in-service trainings, and share insights with fellow mental health professionals. Clearview presents at leading national conferences and collaborates with respected organizations including the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder (NEABPD) and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Through education, advocacy, and partnership, Clearview helps build a stronger, more informed mental health community.
