Canon Human Services is dedicated to providing compassionate, community-focused support for adult men overcoming chemical dependency. Our adult male-only residential counseling program combines evidence-based clinical approaches with a nurturing, structured environment to create a path toward lasting recovery and personal growth.
Gender-Specific Support
Every individual’s journey to sobriety is unique. Our male-only residential counseling setting fosters a sense of safety and understanding, enabling participants to connect more deeply with peers who share similar life experiences. This environment encourages honest dialogue, emotional expression, and the building of trust—all integral to healing from addiction.
A Structured and Therapeutic Environment
Life at our residential alcohol rehab in Los Angeles offers stability and routine—a foundation upon which recovery thrives. Participants engage in a comprehensive treatment plan that, depending on their specific needs, includes:
- Individual therapy and crisis support
- Group counseling sessions
- Life skills and relapse prevention education
- Recreational and therapeutic activities
- Family involvement initiatives
Each component is designed to reinforce healthy habits, build coping strategies, and strengthen emotional resilience.
Personalized Clinical Treatment
We believe that effective addiction treatment begins with a thorough understanding of each person’s story, goals, and struggles. Our qualified clinicians assess physical, psychological, and emotional needs through an intake process, then craft a tailored treatment plan. Therapy options include:
Individual Therapy Sessions
These sessions provide a confidential space for participants to explore addiction triggers, history, and personal challenges with a trained clinician. Approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care help clients build insight and healthier habits.
Group Counseling
Peer-focused sessions center on themes such as relapse prevention, emotional regulation, coping mechanisms, stress management, and communication. These meetings cultivate mutual support, accountability, and connection.
Family Therapy and Education
Addiction affects the whole family. Canon invites loved ones to participate in therapy to understand dependency’s impact, rebuild relationships, and support long-term recovery.
Peer Support and Mentorship
Participants can benefit from interaction with recovery mentors and peers who have faced similar struggles. Mentorship is woven throughout the program—from discussions about sobriety milestones to guided life-navigation. Graduates often stay connected, giving back to and reinforcing our recovery community.
Enhancing Life Skills
We equip participants with essential tools for daily living and sustainable transition into the community. Topics include:
- Time management and goal-setting
- Employment readiness and vocational planning
- Financial literacy and budgeting
- Healthy relationships and effective communication
- Stress reduction through mindfulness and relaxation
- Building balanced routines and self-care
These skills are introduced during the program and reinforced through real-world practice and coaching.
Wellness and Recreational Activities
Wellness is more than a goal—it’s a way of life. We integrate holistic activities to rebuild physical and emotional health in many ways.
Encouraging good health and self-care underpins long-term success and fosters a sense of wellbeing.
Educational Resources for Growth and Resiliency
Awareness is key to recovery. Participants dive into educational workshops covering:
- Brain science of addiction
- Effects of substances on health and behavior
- Co-occurring mental health conditions
- Techniques for managing cravings and triggers
- Developing personal relapse prevention strategies
These sessions empower individuals with knowledge, enhancing their engagement and agency in recovery.
Relapse Prevention Planning
Sobriety is a lifelong journey. At Canon, relapse prevention is a cornerstone of program design. Participants collaborate with clinicians to build personalized aftercare programs that include:
- Identifying personal triggers and warning signs
- Creating routines for positive coping habits
- Connecting with support groups post-discharge
- Applying learned skills in daily situations
- Ensuring ongoing clinical care as needed
Housing is designed to gradually increase independence—transitioning from a highly structured environment toward settings that simulate community living, while still providing supportive oversight.
A Community That Cares
Beyond therapy, Canon Human Services offers a caring community grounded in shared respect and belonging. Staff—from counselors to support personnel and alumni—embody empathy, dignity, and encouragement. Community rituals include group celebrations of milestones, shared meals, and enjoyable activities that reinforce togetherness.
Our program is designed to gently stretch comfort zones through team-building, trust-building experiences, and community outings. These opportunities foster interpersonal growth, personal strengths, and a sense of purpose beyond addiction.
Continuity of Care and Aftercare
Recovery doesn’t end at discharge—our approach centers on sustained outcomes. We support alumni through:
- Referrals to outpatient counseling and support groups
- Alumni events that foster ongoing connection
- Employment and independent living resources
- Periodic check-ins for long-term encouragement
This extended network ensures participants feel supported long after they leave residence.
Direct Support from Mental Health Professionals
Our therapeutic team includes licensed clinicians, addiction specialists, and experienced case managers. They deliver clinical excellence, cultural competency, and trauma-sensitive care. Staff are also trained to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions that often co-exist with behavioral health concerns.
How Residential Counseling Works
Program phases are designed to build confidence and resilience. Each is tailored to the needs of a client. That said, for most, they include:
Intake and stabilization
Participants are welcomed into a structured, safe environment and supported through early withdrawal or stabilization. Housing, meals, and medical oversight form the foundation for deeper work.
Core treatment
Individual and group therapy, life skills training, and recreational therapies unfold over several weeks. A balanced schedule allows time for self-reflection, peer interaction, and learning.
Transition planning
Toward program end, participants work with staff to craft aftercare plans and explore best-fit living and employment options. Increased autonomy prepares them for independent living.
Alumni and peer continuity
Continued connections are made through alumni events, mentorship roles, and peer groups—reinforcing accountability, shared growth, and recovery culture.
Measurable Outcomes and Accountability
We’re committed to excellence and continuous improvement. Canon monitors progress using evidence-based measures such as:
- Reductions in substance use and triggers
- Improvements in mental and physical health
- Enhanced daily functioning
- Progress toward personal goals
- Connection to post-discharge supports
This data helps refine care and ensures participants receive effective, tailored interventions.
