At White Oak Recovery Center, a Hollywood rehab rooted in evidence-based care and real human connection, our team offers compassionate, straightforward depression treatment that meets you where you are. This is a place to exhale, be honest, and start feeling better one step at a time.
A Caring, Clinical Approach to Treatment for Depression
Depression shows up differently for everyone: lingering sadness, irritability, numbness, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, trouble concentrating, or a loss of interest in the things you used to love. Some people feel a heavy fog; others feel nothing at all. Whatever you’re experiencing, our clinicians design a personalized depression treatment plan that fits your symptoms, your story, and your goals.
Our approach blends science and heart. You’ll receive a thorough assessment, a clear roadmap, and consistent support from licensed therapists, medical providers, and peer support specialists who treat you as a whole person, not a checklist. We regularly adjust your plan based on your progress so the care you receive always matches what you need.
What Depression Treatment Can Include
There’s no single best path. There are effective depression treatments that work better when they’re thoughtfully combined and tailored to you.
Your plan may include:
- Individual therapy using evidence-based modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and parts work to challenge unhelpful patterns and build new skills.
- Medication management, when appropriate, with careful monitoring to reduce side effects and improve day-to-day functioning.
- Group therapy to reduce isolation, practice new skills, and get genuine support from people who understand.
- Experiential and holistic services, such as mindfulness, movement, creative expression, and outdoor time, to help you reconnect with your body and sense of self.
- Family support to strengthen communication and create a stable, encouraging environment at home.
For clients with more severe or persistent symptoms, our major depressive disorder treatment adds structured, intensive support and close clinical oversight. If you’re also navigating addiction or anxiety, we provide integrated dual-diagnosis care so you don’t have to tackle mental health concerns in separate silos.
Levels of Care Designed for Real Life
Depression can interrupt work, school, relationships, and daily routines. That’s why we offer a range of levels of care. We want you to get the right intensity at the right time.
- Residential Treatment: A safe, structured setting with 24/7 support where you can step away from triggers and focus on recovery.
- Day/Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Comprehensive daytime treatment with evenings at home or in supportive housing.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Flexible, evidence-based care that fits around work, classes, or caregiving.
- Aftercare & Alumni Support: Step-down planning, continued therapy, peer groups, and accountability to help you maintain momentum.
If you’re unsure where to start, our clinicians and admissions team will walk you through an easy assessment and recommend a level of care that feels both safe and doable. We also coordinate with outside providers to keep your support network connected.
Why Choose White Oak Recovery Center
Choosing a program is a big decision. Here’s what sets White Oak Recovery Center apart from other depression treatment centers.
Our approach is personal, never generic. Instead of handing you a template plan, we collaborate on goals that reflect your real life and priorities. Care is whole-person, addressing not just symptoms but also sleep, nutrition, movement, relationships, and sense of purpose. You’ll be supported by a warm and professional team of clinicians who explain the “why” behind each step in plain language.
If substances have become part of how you cope, we integrate addiction services with compassion and without shame. As part of the California mental health community, we also understand the local landscape, from insurance options to resources in Los Angeles and Hollywood.
Our setting is peaceful and restorative. However, the most important part is how you’re treated. That is with respect, curiosity, and unwavering belief that change is possible.
When to Consider a Higher Level of Care
Sometimes the bravest move is to ask for more support. A higher level of care may be right if you’re facing serious challenges that make daily life overwhelming.
Warning signs can include thoughts of self-harm or suicide, or difficulty managing basic routines such as work, school, hygiene, meals, and sleep. It may also be time to consider more support if outpatient therapy or medication hasn’t brought enough relief, if stressors at home or work are making recovery harder, or if depression and addiction are feeding into each other.
If any of this resonates, you’re not “too much,” and you’re not a problem to solve. You’re a person who deserves intensive help and safety. We’ll guide you through the next steps quickly and discreetly.
What Progress Can Look Like
Recovery isn’t a straight line. It’s small wins stacking up: getting out of bed on a hard day, catching a negative thought before it spirals, laughing at something you didn’t expect, sending a text instead of isolating, remembering you’re more than your worst moments. With consistent treatment for depression, these wins become habits, and those habits become a life that feels like yours again.
Our team measures progress collaboratively. Your input matters as much as your symptom scores. We celebrate growth, troubleshoot setbacks, and keep your plan responsive and real.
Getting Started Is Simple
Reaching out is the hardest part, so we’ve made everything after that easier. Our friendly admissions team can walk you through the process step by step.
From the first call, we listen to what’s going on and answer your questions without pressure. We verify insurance benefits, review payment options, and help with travel coordination if you’re coming from out of town. Once you’re ready, we schedule a prompt assessment and recommend the level of care that will be most helpful for your situation.
If you’re experiencing an immediate crisis, call 988 or local emergency services. When you’re safe, we’ll be here to continue the conversation and build a plan.
