Breathe Life Healing Centers

What Breathe Life Healing Centers does

Breathe Life Healing Centers is a privately held, licensed addiction treatment and mental health facility headquartered at 8060 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California, with residential operations across three modern luxury homes in Laurel Canyon. Founded in 2012 by Brad Lamm and formally operating since 2013, the company delivers a full continuum of care including medically supervised detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), outpatient addiction rehab, and enhanced sober living. The facility holds the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval, California Department of Health Care Services licensure (Licenses 190788AP and 190788BP), and LegitScript certification.

The clinical offering is built around evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), sensorimotor therapy, and experiential approaches such as guided imagery, role play, and movement-based exercises. Signature specialty services differentiate the center, including LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, chemsex/crystal meth addiction treatment with the proprietary Crystal Clear Curriculum, a Flight Attendant Program, Medication-Assisted Treatment using Suboxone and Subutex, and family therapy programs (Family Class and a 3-Day Family Workshop). The BreatheOUT Alumni Program provides weekly virtual peer support groups that extend the relationship beyond discharge.

The business is predominantly insurance-reimbursed, with the center in-network with most major commercial providers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Carelon, and Beacon Health Options, while explicitly excluding Medi-Cal and Medicare. Admissions are generated through a 24/7 helpline, website contact forms, professional clinical referrals, and earned media driven by founder Brad Lamm's recurring appearances on Good Morning America, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, and Nancy Grace. The client base spans individuals with substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, trauma/PTSD, and niche populations requiring culturally congruent care across the greater Los Angeles area.
