Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

This LA based treatment center specializes in treating women ages 18+ with alcohol use disorder. Their 60 day residential program is an evidence-based recovery program that takes place in their Miracle House. The structured treatment plans can help women greatly when they first begin a new life of sobriety. While in treatment, women receive therapy and life skills counseling. The center also provides transportation and legal coordination when necessary. The outpatient programs range from 6-12 months in length. They offer an intensive outpatient program that occurs several times a week for longer lengths of time and an outpatient program that occurs less than 9 hours per week for shorter periods of time. The therapies and treatment plans at the center focus on healing the women from the inside out, emphasizing the importance of mind and body wellness. They also offer therapies that help support family relationships, parenting, domestic violence and trauma and anger management. Their services are provided in both English and Spanish. They also work with pregnant and post-partum mothers who are struggling with alcohol addiction. Aftercare is an essential aspect to long-term healing at the center, so they provide up to 7 hours of either individual or group therapy a month after leaving residential or outpatient treatment.
