About AADAP – Asian American Drug Abuse Program – Therapeutic Community

The Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP) Therapeutic Community (TC) is in Los Angeles, California. They have a substance use disorder treatment program based on the client centered TC. They integrate this treatment model with a chronic disease assessment.

The program has CARF accreditation and is licensed by the State of California. The TC is a small community that reflects the larger at large community. It’s an environment built especially for learning. The residents live there 24/7 and learn from each other.

Some of the services in the TC include but aren’t limited to, individual, group, and family counseling, case management, and recovery support services. They also have life skills and nutrition classes as well as a wellness group and anger management classes.

They do random urinalysis testing when you’re in the TC. You’ll also take part in recreational and social activities, and outings. When you leave, there are support services and aftercare services to help you maintain sobriety.

If you need to stay out in the community, they also have an outpatient unit. They offer treatments that take into account your environmental, cultural, and emotional needs.

The AADAP also has a prevention unit working with the wider community to help deal with underlying factors that lead to problems with alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. They have youth and family programs that help youths at risk for gang affiliation.

Be sure to check and see if they take your insurance. Some former clients noted that the staff is strict but they loved the program and found it helpful.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Our Policy: AADAP – Asian American Drug Abuse Program – Therapeutic Community works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Rational Behavior Therapy

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

They try to make you work from 5:30 am to 9 pm without any curriculum instilled, everything is just done freehand it's just a place where they milk your medical and EBT for their own benefits, you have people walking out daily.. sorry as program, honestly. A big front!! You're just a meal ticket for the program staff!And when you try to walk out they make it so difficult, cause they want your money that bad. I don't recommend this place to anyone.

I never spoke about this until now about your program and your unprofessional counselors that happened back in 2007-8. I found your counselors disgusting, always sneaking in the patient's/men's rooms, having wrestling matches, asking for sex, and threatening to tell the judge to have you put out mainly the light-skinned heavy-set counselor who was mentally abusive and looked like a pig in the face. Not only that, but I was there to get better and they, your counselors, made my life a living hell. Fortunately, I found another rehab that took their patients seriously and did not horse around with their patients, They were very professional, and I graduated from their program and went on and become a successful person, I hope you change your program for the sake of others, because those women back then were horrible, and should have been fired for their misconduct and abuse to their patients

I have so much love for AADAP and yea the rules at AADAP may seem pretty strict, but then I remember that the staff at AADAP have one goal in mind, which is to help everyone get and stay sober. Marnelle, Yeti, Ms. Lee, Mr. Stinson, Jessica, Ms. Linda have all made such a lasting & positive impression on me

I would post no stars if I could. This place is horrible for treatment. Here I am, a sincere person who is pleading for help for marijuana addiction and I m being turned around just because I have not been in a residential treatment program before. I thought the people who hasn t had a program are the ones who truly needs it. Then on top of that the intake coordinator is saying because I had a depression diagnosis decades ago that I can t be in the program without medication!!! I m coming for substance abuse not mental health. My mental health treatment was not needed lifelong and here they are trying to force you to ingest medication that goes against your feelings of expression. They want to help you get off of one drug to get you on another drug which is counterproductive. I chose to come to the program to devoid myself of any dependencies! This institution incorporates and perpetuates a cycle that will keep their doors revolving. At the end of the day, they are not trying to help you heal, they want to treat you instead so you come back for more of their services. The kicker is this.... we got on the subject of religion and the intake coordinator confessed that she did not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ! So if you don t believe in God s Son who died on the Cross to forgive the world of sin then it s impossible for one to know what LOVE is. Which led the Holy Spirit to come to the conclusion that this company is a business working for Satan because a drug is a drug. If you have to force an individual to alter their true feelings with medication, you re not helping them you re hurting them and setting them up for failure later down the line.

Who ever answered the phone was extremely rude... would not let me speak... cut me off and hung up in my face... they should be rapremended... as this place is here to help people in need and this behavior could possibly turn someone looking for help to go in the other direction... not a good look. Period... very unprofessional.
