About

About Design for Change Recovery Services

Design for Change Recovery Services is a Joint Commission-accredited (JCAHO) addiction treatment program at 1066 East Avenue J in Lancaster, California. The facility sits in Los Angeles County’s Antelope Valley and serves clients across Southern California, including Los Angeles, Pasadena, Glendale, Bakersfield, Palmdale, Victorville, San Fernando, Santa Clarita, and beyond. Design for Change offers a full continuum: a 7+ day detox program, a 30-day residential rehab program, intensive outpatient (IOP), traditional outpatient, family therapy, group and individual therapy, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

The program treats a wide range of substance use disorders, including alcohol, opioid, heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, benzodiazepine, marijuana, and stimulant use disorders, along with co-occurring trauma and dual-diagnosis presentations. Detox programs are tailored by substance type, with alcohol, heroin, fentanyl, opiate, meth, and prescription drug detox tracks. Dual-diagnosis treatment is integrated for clients whose substance use coexists with mental health conditions, and short-, mid-, and longer-term residential program lengths (ranging from 3-7 days up to 90 days) allow clinicians to match length of stay to clinical need rather than the other way around.

Design for Change supports several specialty populations. Veterans Rehab and First Responder Wellness programs reflect the program’s commitment to populations whose experiences often include occupation-related trauma and stress. Male and female inpatient programs offer gender-specific track options. Family therapy, family workshops, and an alumni program help extend recovery beyond the residential setting.

For payment, Design for Change accepts private insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, Kaiser Permanente, and TRICARE for veteran and military-family coverage, along with self-pay options. The intake team can verify insurance and discuss community-funding pathways. Admissions and information are available at (877) 267-3646 or via the local Lancaster number (661) 942-1026. The program is CARF-listed in SAMHSA’s directory and JCAHO-accredited per the facility’s published licensing materials.

Medical Detox Programs and Withdrawal Management

Specialized treatment tracks address co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis cases, ensuring comprehensive care for individuals with both substance use disorders and mental health conditions requiring integrated treatment approaches.
