Program Description
There are 2 facilities licensed by the State of California. We have a total of 31 treatment beds for men and women. The primary function is to provide individualized based treatment determined in 30 day increment assessments in a highly structured atmosphere for substance abusers. The facility may function as an alternative to jail, but not as a half-way house.
The program provides services via individual client treatment plans, intensive group experiences, and one on one counseling. Strong program emphasis is placed on client's growth from program dependence to personal independence. Development and implementation of vocational or educational plans are carefully staged based off the individual's needs.
