Alcohol & Drug Rehabs in Torrance, California

The rehab centers listed on this page are organized to make comparison straightforward for people searching for treatment in Torrance. Listings are grouped so you can weigh what matters most, including proximity, level of care, accreditation status, the insurance and payment types a center accepts and whether it runs the specialty programs you need.

We prioritize centers that hold recognized accreditation or state certification and that publish clear information about their services. A listing here is not an endorsement of one center over another, and inclusion does not guarantee a specific outcome.

It’s important to keep in mind that treatment decisions are best made with a licensed clinician who can assess your history and needs.

Torrance is one of the largest cities in the South Bay, the coastal southwestern corner of Los Angeles County that includes the beach cities and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Its 16 providers lean toward outpatient care, with 14 outpatient clinics and a smaller set of detox and residential programs, which suits people who want to stay connected to work and family while in treatment.

Los Angeles County substance use services are administered by the Department of Public Health’s Substance Abuse Prevention and Control division, which oversees the South Bay as Service Planning Area 8. Its Substance Abuse Service Helpline, available 24/7 at 1-844-804-7500, handles screening and referral to addiction treatment options across the area.

Fentanyl is the leading driver of overdose deaths across Los Angeles County, though 2024 brought a sharp countywide decline. Understanding fentanyl overdose risk remains important for South Bay families, and Torrance’s outpatient-heavy mix pairs well with medication-assisted care for opioid use.

City-level pricing is rarely published, so the figures below are statewide California averages. These numbers provide a useful baseline when planning for care in Torrance. South Bay cost of living tends to push local pricing to or above these numbers, but insurance, financial assistance and rehab scholarships usually bring the real cost down.

The price any one person pays comes down to a handful of factors more than to the city itself.

Level of care detox, inpatient, or outpatient

Program length 30, 60, or 90 days

Insurance coverage and network status

Features and amenities standard or upscale setting

Location within the county

Among the 16 Torrance centers, payment options are unusually broad for a city this size, spanning self-pay, private insurance, public coverage and several reduced-cost routes, including two programs offering free treatment. The grid below shows how local programs break down.

11 accept self-payment or cash

10 accept private health insurance

3 accept Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program

3 accept Medicare

3 offer sliding-scale fees

4 offer financial assistance

3 accept TRICARE

Medicare

Three Torrance programs accept Medicare, which covers medically necessary addiction treatment for adults 65 and older and for some younger people with qualifying disabilities. Coverage generally includes inpatient care, outpatient services and medication management.

Medicaid (Medi-Cal)

Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program that offers coverage for substance use treatment through Drug Medi-Cal and the Los Angeles County delivery system. Three Torrance centers accept it, and the Substance Abuse Service Helpline at 1-844-804-7500 can connect eligible residents to covered care, including medication-assisted treatment, counseling and residential services.

Military Benefits

Three Torrance programs accept TRICARE for active-duty members, retirees and their families. Veterans in the South Bay can also connect with VA and community programs through the site’s rehab resources for veterans and military.

Insurance and Private Pay

Ten Torrance centers accept private insurance and 11 take self-payment. If you carry a commercial plan, confirm which programs are in network and what preauthorization your plan requires before admission, since network status tends to shape your out-of-pocket cost.

Free Treatment Programs

Two Torrance programs offer free treatment for clients who qualify, a rarity in this batch. Eligibility usually depends on income, county funding or a specific grant, so it is worth asking directly and pursuing a rehab scholarship alongside the application. Another four programs offer financial assistance and three provide sliding-scale fees.

• Aetna
• Anthem Blue Cross
• Blue Shield of California
• Cigna
• Health Net
• Kaiser Permanente
• UnitedHealthcare

4 medical detox facilities

5 inpatient rehab programs

14 standard outpatient clinics

7 dual diagnosis programs

2 sober living homes

For people with physical dependence, medically supervised medical detox manages withdrawal safely before ongoing treatment begins. Inpatient rehab provides live-in structure for more severe cases, but the strength of the Torrance area is its outpatient rehab, which lets people attend treatment while keeping up with work and family. Seven dual diagnosis programs support those managing addiction alongside co-occurring depression or anxiety.
