Heart icon Treatment

book 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.

prescription 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.

head-side-medical iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

file-medical 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.

prescription-bottle-pill 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.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

car-building iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

bed-front 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. The Primary Residential Treatment program is tailored to residents in their first 90-120 days of recovery. The program includes individual and group counseling, therapy, spiritual counseling, Shabbat and Jewish holiday services, and an introduction to Alcoholics Anonymous and the principles of the 12-Steps. Beit T'Shuvah provides an array of group instruction: covering such topics as substance abuse education, relapse prevention, AA step study, Jewish ethics, relationships, life skills, health, anger management, conflict resolution, personal responsibility, and hygiene. Primary residents are also offered the opportunity to participate in their Complementary Programs, which include a wide array of creative programming such as: choir, recording studio sessions, theater arts (Freedom Song), organic gardening, and more. Recognizing that substance abuse is not only a disease of the mind, soul, and spirit, but of the body as well, Beit T'Shuvah primary residents can also engage in activities like yoga, fitness training, surf therapy, snowboarding and the LA Marathon our "Run To Save A Soul" team and training program.

house-medical iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program at Beit T’Shuvah is for adults, 18 and older, who are ready to make the commitment to recovery, but due to personal and professional obligations, inpatient treatment is not an option. Their individualized program is unique in that they are the only not-for-profit community-based IOP providing clients with their own team of professionals dedicated to their recovery. Each client is assigned an addiction counselor, a psychotherapist, and a spiritual counselor, which allows them to provide truly individualized treatment. As a not-for-profit, they are able to focus on recovery and to help each of their clients create a sustainable foundation upon which they can rebuild their lives.

house-medical iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.

book-medical 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).

house iconSober Living Homes

By the time a resident is ready to complete the Extended Residential Treatment program, it is anticipated that the resident's awareness and acceptance of their commitment to recovery is sufficient to maintain a recovery plan with a greater level of independence. For their graduates, Beit T'Shuvah offers off-site housing within walking distance of their main campus. These residents are encouraged to facilitate their transition into life by paying rent, managing their own work and social lives, while still living within a supportive and loving sober community.

people-group iconIntervention Services

When an individual is in denial about their substance use disorder, their loved ones may organize a drug intervention in California. This effort involves gently but assertively confronting the individual about their substance use and sharing how it has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist may also attend this gathering. Their expertise with intervention services can prove helpful in guiding the conversation to a positive result.

Group 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.

Love this place - my son has blossomed since being here.

BTS is overall a good place. The Gambling Director though is very poor. She takes her sessions with all gambling addiction addicts in the car while eating McDonalds and after you share, she says "I love it" with no substance to take in. There are other therapists that do a phenomenal job in this program. I just wish hope everyone gets well.

This place literally saved my life! I could not get out of the traps in which I found myself. I highly recommend it. You don't have to be rich or Jewish; just need a desire to live a better quality and more meaningful life. I loved the spiritual atmosphere for community that Beit T'Shuvah provides. I was able to explore the roots of my own Christianity, and I changed in fundamental ways.I found my soul mate counselor, Dr. Valerie Rope, at BTS, and we worked together from 2012 to 2022, when she passed away of MS. I owe her, Yael, Harriet and Rabbi and so many wonderful teachers, my recovery and abstinence from gambling. Freedom from the toxic gambler's lifestyle I was living, I cherish! Grateful doesn't even begin to say it!Yael Landa is from Israel, and really understood me. I highly recommend her as an advisor and life coach! She now directs the program of recovery from gambling that I attended.My Mom found this place for me, and I wonder if it would benefit you? I needed all the help I could get in 2012, and being at Beit T'Shuvah was forever life-changing. There are so many friends I made among the community of recovering people, and we still keep in touch and care about each other! I highly recommend the amazing Beit T'Shuvah!

This is a Jewish faith based addiction rehabilitation center. Not just alcohol and drugs, but gambling, eating disorders, etc. This is also my family. How do you describe your family? As well as i describe my birth family, i describe this place as the reason i am alive. Intelligent, dramatic, loving, insightful, in the know, innovative, pioneering, rigorous but most importantly a safe haven to find yourself with like minded people and just home. They forever changed my life. I am so grateful for the opportunities they offered me and the lifelong friendships that i formed and participate in to this day. If you feel like you dont belong anywhere and your Jewish or not in some cases, if you struggle with any kind of addiction or something that keeps leading you to a place you dont want to be anymore. If you love music, yoga, surfing, people you can count on to show up for you, if you are willing to make changes in your life and discover what your real passion is. Well....welcome to beit t'shuvah(which means in hebrew House of Return)....and welcome to the rest of your life. As the rabbi used to say when the community welcomes you into the house at your first shabbos...HANG ON ita going to be a wild ride.Oh yeah, highly recommended!!!!!!!

My daughter, mother of 3, is about to graduate Shasta College Summa Cum Laude and will continue on to get her Master's Degree.Last year she was "Student of the Year."I have no doubt that Beit T'Shuvah inspired my daughter to not only turn her life around but to reach for the stars as well!One thing she particularly loved was the sense of humor that seemed to prevail there despite so many stories of struggle.I will forever be grateful for the Incredible staff at this Amazing facility- Well deserving of 10 Stars; I could not more highly recommend Beit T'Shuvah!

Beit T Shuvah saved my life. There is no place like it in the world. I have so much gratitude for this place, I just can not say enough. It s more than a rehab, it s a synagogue, a congregation and a beautiful community.

This place does save lives. This place rekindles broken spirits. This place gives you tough love yet transcends our obscured vision to limitless rewards. This place rerouted my Mental GPS I am sometimes lost in. This place took me out of the worst neighborhood to be trapped in. My own mind. This place taught me what it s like to see what s caging me internally. BTS gave me the equipment I need to tear down my mental wall. The program implemented my innovation, while warranting my mental emancipation. I finally made a return to a safe haven, my mind was locking me out of. No matter how we often forget this, I learned something here. We are more than just a bag of chemicals. Alone we are timid. Together, we are incredible. The is a beautiful place. We need to remember that. If you re bored, you are boring. I was lucky to be in the midst of this beautiful struggle. We all matter. Love yourself and finally allow a no BS approach to finding serenity and inner peace. Thank you Harriet, and everyone who has contributed to this beautiful entity. Special thank you to Jeremy Pool. He is a brilliant young man who has an ocean of strength and wisdom. B eit T Shuvah shaped me and proved that we don t have to think outside a box. We just have to expand it. I am forever grateful.
