LAServing Los Angeles: Where We Work. An honest map of where each part of The Blackburn Group does its work, from our Westside office to your home.

We have worked in Los Angeles since 2012. We are one organization with six areas of service: clinical care, recovery services, monitoring, mentoring, consulting and philanthropy. Some of that work happens in our office. A lot of it happens where people already are: at home, at school, at work, or on a video call.

You can reach us at (888) 305-5422 or info@theblackburngroup.org. This page explains, area by area, where each kind of help takes place, so you know what to expect before you call.

Clinical care also includes psychiatric care, with psychiatric evaluation and medication management. If you want to know what a first visit looks like, our guide on what happens at a psychiatric evaluation walks through it.

Outpatient detox is different. It is medically supervised and takes place at home in Los Angeles, so a person can stay in familiar surroundings with medical oversight. Our guide to outpatient detox at home covers who it can fit and what to plan for. Stopping alcohol or benzodiazepines suddenly can be medically dangerous, so talk to a doctor before any change.

That work includes case management, intervention, family support and aftercare. Our free virtual family support group meets every two weeks and is open to any family, wherever they live.

Home testing means a person does not have to rearrange a work or school day around a drive across town. With consent, results can be shared in real time with the people who need them. Our guide on how drug and alcohol monitoring works explains the process.

Mentoring is one-on-one support for high school students, college students, young adults and professionals who want help with direction, habits and next steps. Sessions usually run 60 minutes. Because video works well for many young people, a student at college in another state can keep the same mentor. Mentors are not licensed clinicians.

Blackburn Consulting brings our experience to the organizations and productions that ask for it, so its work happens wherever those teams are.

The Blackburn Foundation is a 501(c)(3) that funds treatment scholarships of up to 12 months and is building the Creative Arts Community Center in Culver City.

That includes families in Mar Vista, Venice, Culver City, Palms, Santa Monica, Westwood, Brentwood, West Los Angeles, Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, Westchester, Beverly Hills and Pacific Palisades. Our office is on Venice Boulevard in Mar Vista. Because so much of our work happens at home or by video, where you live in Los Angeles is rarely a barrier.

If you live farther out, call anyway. We can tell you plainly what we can do where you are, and what we cannot.

If you are coming for an appointment, give yourself a little extra time, since Westside traffic can be slow at busy hours. If you are not sure whether your visit is in the office or somewhere else, ask when you book.
