Lion Recovery — Van Nuys, Los Angeles County

Lion Recovery at 14945 Bassett Street in Van Nuys is a 6-bed small-cap flagship residential facility in the LA San Fernando Valley. Meets our four-signal flagship bar: DHCS license, SAMHSA 2025 match, CARF accreditation at ASAM Level 3.7 (medically monitored intensive inpatient), and multi-LOC positioning via the residential + detox programming combined at this licensure.

What makes this facility flagship tier

Our flagship tier requires four independent verification signals. Lion Recovery clears all four.

DHCS license: active at the time of our most recent review. License number 191071AP, expiration 1/31/2027. Program authorization: residential treatment with detoxification services.

CARF SUD-specific accreditation: see dedicated section below for specific program details.

SAMHSA 2025 National Directory: matched.

Multi-level of care: evaluated against the operator’s program scope, whether across DHCS program codes, CARF-accredited programs, or co-located operator sites.

Clinical program overview

CARF accreditation at ASAM 3.7 indicates 24/7 nursing with on-site or on-call physician coverage. The 6-bed capacity supports small-group residential care for patients requiring medical monitoring during withdrawal or early recovery stabilization. Individual-therapy-focused programming with psychiatric and trauma-informed care components per self-reported clinical framework.

Who this facility is a good fit for

Private-pay and commercial-insurance orientation. Not Medi-Cal contracted. The Van Nuys location serves San Fernando Valley residents plus patients from across LA seeking small-cap ASAM 3.7 residential care. Suitable for patients with presenting clinical complexity warranting 3.7-level monitoring.

Location and geography

14945 Bassett Street in Van Nuys is in the central San Fernando Valley. Valley-located small-cap luxury residential is a meaningful sub-cluster of LA’s private-pay concierge SUD market — Lion Recovery operates alongside Journey Hillside Tarzana, Luxe Recovery sites, and numerous listed-tier small-cap operators in the Valley.

CARF accreditation

Lion Recovery holds current CARF International accreditation for SUD-specific programming — specifically: ASAM Level of Care 3.7. CARF accreditation is a voluntary third-party clinical quality review covering program design, clinical outcomes measurement, health and safety, governance, and continuous improvement. It is not a regulatory requirement for California SUD treatment operation but signals operator investment in an independent quality-assurance process that many DHCS-licensed facilities do not pursue.

Families evaluating Lion Recovery can confirm current CARF accreditation status and program scope directly at the CARF provider search.

DHCS licensure detail

Lion Recovery operates under DHCS certification 191071AP (Licensed), authorized for residential treatment with detoxification services. Treatment capacity per DHCS records: 6 beds. The license is current through 1/31/2027.

DHCS enforcement records should be checked for any specific facility before admission. Our DHCS license verification walkthrough provides the tool-based methodology.

SAMHSA National Directory

Lion Recovery appears in the SAMHSA 2025 National Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Facilities, providing cross-source verification from a federal registry independent of both CARF and DHCS. SAMHSA directory presence is one of the four independent verification signals our flagship tier requires.
