Hi! Its LR/Lu. This place has helped me tremendously. I never thought I would actually be where I am today. I never saw a chance at recovery, I never saw me getting better. Yet, here I am. Everyday I miss the staff and patients I was fortunately able to meet. Besides Jeanne (you already got a big letter),,,,Dolly, Sean, and Megatron helped me so much. Whether they know it or not. Dolly was so sweet and so supportive and I'll never forget when she accidently called me bestie. She was my favorite person at the time. I still think of her everyday and I can't imagine my time at CFD without her. When I turn 18 my first tattoo is going to be inspired off of her flower and rat tattoos. Morning walks and outings were never the same without her. Thank you Dolly so much. I couldnt have accomplished my journey without you :). Sean, even though he wasn't my therapist he felt like, as cheesy as this sounds, the dad I never had. I don't imagine him as my father figure since I only knew him for a total of 5 months. But, he has such dad vibes and energy!!!! He was so caring and every moment with him felt so real, there was no sugarcoating or trying to make life seem like rainbows. It was geniune. I'll never forget when he called me a hood rat. Omg and when I would do the kpop heart at him and he did the "I cookada pasta". He was so funny and I miss him dearly. Megan was always there for whoever needed it. She knew when things were right and wrong and helped me through peer conflict. She was the best ever during group cook. Whenever somebody says sorry to me, I don't immediately say "its ok" because megan told me to understand that sometimes its not! She made me have a voice, we weren't the closest but she really helped me from both of my visits at CFD.The reason why I give this place a 4 star, is because I was able to lie most of my way out the first visit I was there. I know it is not others responsibility to realize when I'm lying. But, that was sort of the main reason I ended up coming back.Other than that. I hated and loved that place with every cell in me. (hated because yk, who wants to be in residential, it was a very good experience though) Im eternally grateful for everyone there. Thank you to all the staff, and if you ever happen to read this, SH, KG, and NRH!!!!! my queens right there!!!!I went to cfd lakewood for the first time when I was 13 1/2. Now I'm turning 15 in a month. And everyone still has a special place in my heart. Thank you so much.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

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.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

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.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

I was a patient here about 2 weeks ago, I honestly was so scared to come here but who wouldn t be? But I went through with the process and ended up having a pretty good experience here. I made amazing friends who were so supportive and who I could relate to. They honestly ended up being like family to me, and I felt so comfortable around them. I as well created bonds with certain staff who made things feel so much better. Staff and peers both supported me so much, this place taught me so many things and without it I don t think I would have been able to make the progress that I ve made in my recovery. Citlalli was especially so so helpful. She gave me the reassurance that I needed and she helped me to feel understood and comforted. My therapist was so helpful and supportive as well. Of course there are pros and cons to being here and everyone s experience is different, but I personally made a lot of good memories that I ll forever cherish and keep close to my heart. :) The groups helped me a lot and helped me to become more comfortable with speaking up for myself. Staff would sometimes joke and play around with us as well which helped the experience become more enjoyable and more comfortable. Even though there are many good things to this place, there s also cons that come along with it. My peers and I sometimes would have problems with the staff but most of the times the problems were resolved. It also would feel very draining at times being here and doing the same things everyday but you have to just keep pushing forward and keep on finding motivation and keep it close to you. If your coming here, don t be afraid!! You ve got this!

i had a really good experience here. you learn so much more about how to help yourself cope beyond just your eating disorder. the staff are all extremely supportive and the treatment team helps you get exactly the help you need. the therapists here are amazing too, they actually help you instead of just listening and nodding. i felt like there were issues with the female therapist with not being receptive to patient feedback and unprofessional/harmful responses, but the male therapist was really great. the dietician is also really sweet and supportive. my favorite staff were dolly, megan, sassy, and sean. this is the best mental health treatment facility ive been to, but if you come here expecting to be magically cured or just focusing on leaving as soon as possible you're going to struggle. if you dont want a bad experience, you have to be open to treatment and actually want to help yourself and put the work in too
