Discreet support in Los Angeles
The Blackburn Group offers private, coordinated support in Los Angeles for executives, professionals and public figures dealing with addiction or mental health concerns. One call to (888) 305-5422 reaches a real person, and nothing is shared without consent.
People with demanding careers often wait the longest to ask for help. There is a lot to protect: a company, a team, a reputation, a family’s privacy. Sometimes the worry is not about the person themselves but about a spouse, a grown child or someone on their staff. The goal is the same either way: real help, planned carefully, with as little disruption as possible.
The Blackburn Group is one organization with several areas of service. That lets us build a plan with clinical care, case management, monitoring and mentoring that work together, with one team keeping it coordinated.
What happens when you call
Privacy starts with the first conversation. You can share as much or as little as you want at first.
Here is what usually happens when you call (888) 305-5422:
- A real person answers or calls you back, and listens first. You do not need the right words or a diagnosis.
- We ask a few simple questions to help sort out what is going on. We want to know who you are worried about, what has changed, what has already been tried, and what feels most urgent.
- We point you to the right team inside The Blackburn Group, or to an outside resource if that fits better.
- Nothing is shared with anyone without consent. If the person you are worried about is an adult, we talk about what they have agreed to share.
If you are calling on behalf of someone else, such as an assistant, attorney, business manager or family member, we can start with general questions. We will not share anything about anyone without their consent.
Who we help
We work with people whose time, privacy and responsibilities shape what care can look like.
- Executives and business owners who need care planned around work.
- Doctors, attorneys and other licensed professionals who want to get help early and quietly.
- Actors, musicians and other public figures, and the people who look out for them.
- Families of well-known people who are worried about a loved one.
- Film and TV productions that need discreet on-set support for cast or crew.
If you are not sure where you fit, call (888) 305-5422. A short conversation is usually enough to find the right starting point.
How we work
Support is built from the areas of service you actually need, and kept coordinated.
- Clinical care through Blackburn Clinical Services: individual therapy, psychiatry, psychological testing, gene testing to help guide medicine choices, and outpatient detox when it is medically appropriate.
- Intervention and case management through Blackburn Recovery Services, to plan the first step and keep care on track.
- Drug and alcohol monitoring through Blackburn Monitoring: random testing with electronic notice, home testing, lab confirmation and results shared only with consent. Monitoring can help rebuild trust with a family, a board or an employer.
- One-on-one mentoring through Blackburn Mentoring, by video anywhere in the US or in person in Los Angeles, for steady accountability and support.
- On-set support through our consulting work, for productions that need it.

Getting back to work
A good plan thinks about the return to work from the start.
Many people worry most about what happens after they get help. That worry is normal, and it should not be the reason to wait. A careful return, with clear support and simple routines, protects both recovery and career. Our guide on returning to work after treatment covers what that can look like. For productions, read about on-set wellness support for film and TV.

Questions
Can someone call on my behalf?
Yes. An assistant, attorney, manager or family member can call to ask general questions. Any details about a specific person are shared only with that person’s consent.
Do I have to step away from work to get help?
Not always. It depends on what is going on and what is medically safe. Many parts of care, like therapy, case management, mentoring and monitoring, can be planned around a schedule. We talk through options on the first call.
Who sees monitoring results?
Only the people the person being tested agrees to share them with, such as a spouse, a physician or an employer.
Do you work with film and TV productions?
Yes. Our consulting work includes discreet on-set support for film and TV productions.
