About AME Healthcare Group LLC Vita Nova at Newport Bay
AME Healthcare Group LLC’s Vita Nova at Newport Bay operates as part of AM Healthcare, a Los Angeles-based provider of addiction and mental health treatment. The Encino office at 17609 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 305 serves as a central administrative and clinical hub for a multi-site network that includes facilities in Santa Clarita, Northridge, Agoura Hills, Encino, and Agua Dulce. The network is designed to offer a true continuum of care: detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient, sober living, and aftercare, all under one organization.
Clinically, AM Healthcare focuses on dual diagnosis as a core competency. Programming treats a wide range of mental health conditions including major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorders, borderline personality disorder, panic disorder, and schizophrenia, alongside the full spectrum of substance use disorders covering alcohol, opioids, fentanyl, cocaine, amphetamines, hallucinogens, ketamine, stimulants, synthetic drugs, and intravenous drug use. Evidence-based modalities include CBT, DBT, and EMDR, supplemented by individual, group, and family therapy, plus the network’s proprietary Kesem Therapy and holistic approaches.
AM Healthcare runs specialized tracks rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Dedicated programs include a Men’s Only Addiction Treatment program (often based at Agua Dulce), a Women’s Drug Rehab (often at Agoura Hills), a First Responder Program for police, firefighters, EMS, and military personnel, and an LGBTQ+ Addiction and Mental Health Treatment program. The first responder track in particular acknowledges the unique stressors and trauma exposures of public safety work and adapts evidence-based care accordingly.
The program is accredited by The Joint Commission and is in-network with most primary insurance providers. Common payment options include private health insurance, military insurance, and cash or self-pay. Services are provided in English and Spanish. The network also offers free addiction and mental health consultations, sober transport services to help clients arrive safely, and intervention planning support for families. Combined with a 4.8-star Google rating, AM Healthcare positions Vita Nova at Newport Bay as a comprehensive, gender-aware option for LA-area clients.
