So i had an interview with this company on august 13 and i had to purchase groceries to cook as a chef and that i would be reimbursed . I went to the location cooked and enjoyed myself . NATHAN IS AWESOME . 2 days later i was contacted by the HR department that was handling my interview and paper work, and i was told that i would be reimbursed for the groceries and the check had already been sent out i bought to do my interview and here i am September 4 and STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING . I tried contacting the HR department and its always the run around of leave a message or you get transferred to someone else . Finally i got a call back today after leaving numerous messages (mind you when ive tried to send an email it sends an email back saying its blocked) and Ms. Martinez said the president was on vacation and also because of the holiday , but they signed my check today to send it to me . I had already been told me check was sent after i did the interview and now here i am hearing it again . How am i supposed to believe them . Im writing this not about the company as far as helping the teens but about the HR department and their method of handling interviews for a cooking position and ensuring reimbursements to people if theyre spending their own money to be hired by this company. Very disappointing . It almost feels like THE HR DEPARTMENT DOES NOT CARE.

I was at the Ladrillo house for about 5 weeks and it sucked. Most of the staff made it clear that they didnt care about the patients, my Therapist, Adam didnt talk to me about anything, and i didnt get better at all. It was very clear that my therapist was very new and did not know what he was doing at all. Do not send your kid here, I had to go back to a different residential 2 weeks after i left this one.

It s not the greatest residential. My child loved the mentors but the doctor, therapist and billing is not the greatest. One day I had a family therapy section for 30 minutes to be honest it was silenced. If you re a therapist you should know how to process a family therapy section. Rules are really not enforced. After bringing it to the director of the program attentions they seemed to try to enforce the protocols for the residential. Doctor emailed me in regards of my child s medication to get it changed and 9 days went by until I read that email! I would expect from a doctor if the mother of my patient doesn t reply maybe she doesn t expect the communication through an email maybe I should call her! It s a patient having serious mental health problems! Also, be prepared to have your loved one in and out of mental hospitals because Destinations for Teens therapist call every time your loved one brings up the thoughts. According to a different residential the therapist knows your loved is in the residential for those reasons if the teen is not in complete act to the thoughts they shouldn t be calling the crisis team. I feel like destinations for teens needs training they are incompetent to these hard times for your loved ones. I would try a different residential it was NO help to my child and they are FAST to call and let me know I have a balance! In fact I feel like the balance was brought to my attention faster than the call from the doctor changing the medications for my daughter. Within a week or less I received a call for balance. For the change of my child's medication never did I get a call and my kiddo had problems sleeping and medications wasn t even working for my kiddo. To top it off therapist called CPS on me and notified me and never gave me the reason why he called CPS. I talked to CPS and she told me you are a great mom you seem to be trying to help your kiddo in whatever way you can and therapist should ve told you why he called us. CPS stated I am going to tell you reason why o was called and I don t see why therapist didn t. After talking to my kids and me she said I m dismissing your case wish you the best. That s how incompetent Destinations for teens is and I haven t heard the greatest from Destinations at all. Think TWICE before sending your child here. It s a hard decision because I did my research and I still didn t make the greatest decision.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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

outpatient 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.
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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.
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).
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
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 ~ 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. At PHP counselors work with the teens 1-2 times per week.

Treatments

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Programs

young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I would look around for other options. Frankly, it feels more like a conveyor belt for profit with insurance companies. The same resources for parents on a loop with nobody really talking to each other between teams or with their parents. Nobody will reach out to you unless money is involved and then you will hear from them ASAP. We were unceremoniously discharged with no care to whether or not there was an active care plan in place. Staff overturns consistently and without notice. The kids also leave there with no take away materials to refer back to in the days after treatment. For that kind of money investment you should come away with a lot more. It s really not hard to stand behind the kids and their families and to offer resources even after they leave.

I am Nikki shafran. I am done staying quite.This place is abusive and everyone should know that. From a kid that really went there and experienced it first hand please do not send your kids here. They will come back so traumatized. Regardless of how your relationship with your kid is, no one deserves this. Send them absolutely anywhere else.Dan, Nicole, Candace, Britney, Clara, and Liz, you all owe me an apology. You are all very unprofessional and should not be near children. You know what you did. Do better !

UPDATE .PHP was a joke, so called chef made meals were microwave frozen corn dogs etc..No outdoor activity and my child did no school work what so ever . Eventually they moved her to residential which we felt better about because they had a pool and supposively outings. Website photos of the place were amazing! BUT the real deal was shocking!My child didn t last a week there as there was snotty boogers wiped all over her bedroom wall from the last tenet that Destinations never cleaned off! They were cockroach infested, and had to leave the premises to fumigate and never told the parents, then upon their return dead cockroaches were everywhere and the kids had to sweep them up!The washing machine didn t work right and so doing laundry there was a hassle , once again the food is not chef made Absolutely no proper psychiatrist or therapist evaluation. My child was there due to mood disorders and impulsive behavior which was never ever addressed!She took off after being there 6 days I wish we would have listened to her , as she was sobbing to come home telling us all of these horrible things but we didn t believe her. She came home worse than ever! We ended up paying out of pocket for private psychiatrist and therapist hell with insurance and the horrible places we had to deals it s ! Thank God she is 100 times better and on proper meds and finally diagnosed !!!!Save your child and don t send them here!!Just BEWARE .Exactly as some folks complained about . But not having anything to hide I wasn t worried BUT First day child was there she complained of being hit, and instead of contacting us to at least say hey this is what your daughter is reporting and it s our duty to report it so want you to know. But nope instead cops came pounding on my door at 10pm that night throwing all sorts of accusations !! Beware!! These teens are mentally unstable on drugs and have a history of all sorts of stuff including lies lies lies and as a parent I try to get help for my child and admit them to this place for this very reason and they do that to us! First day and I am so very disappointed and angry. So unprofessional .. keeping teen there regardless in hopes she will get the help she needs but this was a huge disappointment .SECOND DAY IN CHILD SERVICES CAME POUNDING ON MY DOOR!!unbelievable !
