If you re thinking of staying here, consider that grand theft auto and sleeping in prison for the next 15 years is better. They don t let you have ANYTHING at all. They want you to be completely dependent on them, no food, no snacks, no drinks. They have uninhabitable living conditions, and they are discriminatory against anyone who is transgender. They ll throw out gay people before they throw out the real problem people, treat everyone like trash, and don t work with you on anything. Everything is a fight with them down to if you can have a shower or not. You ll spend your whole life here and never get housing. They gatekeep like mad, and don t tell you anything until the last possible minute or until you re already doing something wrong, then act like you should know better. I ve been told I have a right to receive any services I need for free, and the only thing I got was certification of homelessness. I was promised a copy of my rights and the contract I signed, never got it. I asked to file a grievance, and they said they re out of papers and to take a picture of the VOALA number and complain. When I did, they retaliated for my complaint and transferred me out. Horrible place to stay.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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.
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).
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
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.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This place is terrible. They force you to be dependent on them. Then, they abuse their power. I was here and/Awakenings for almost a year. I was just transferred to another homeless program (Thank God) but, today I learn that I had a housing voucher! Months ago! But, my caseworker didn t know what she was doing, and lost it for me!Someone needs to do an investigation on them.The rules were constantly changing, daily, which made for a very unstable environment. You never knew when a rule had been changed, until you broke the new rule and were quickly reprimanded.Example - the curfew was 10pm and you also had to be out of the shower at 10pm. So, I would come in around 9pm (for nearly a year.) One day they changed to rule to must be out of the shower by 9pm when I came in at my regular time (around 9pm) I was told I was unable to shower due to the new rule. This is disgusting. I showered anyways, and the monitor came into the apartment and was banging on the bathroom door, screaming! Asking me if I was in the shower. She proceeded to beat on the door and scream for like 5 min.And, from then on monitors would come into the apartment and beat on the door and yell to see if anyone was in the sz shower after 9pm.Monitors could never make a decision on their own. They were always unsure of everything, and constantly had to call their supervisor, Jackie. It was ridiculous. This environment isn t stable at all, very controlling and doesn t encourage people to better themselves at all. You are at the mercy for all of your needs, and become dependent.One of the monitors, Jennifer, bragged about how clients are always calling to come back.. I m not sure why Jennifer thought this was a flex, because the goal is for people to be independent.

I was there and gone before my blackout period however well on my way to my own place in order to have something work for us we have to put in work if you get to this place or any place and you want to sit and wait its not going to happen. I was able to have my dog with me they have meal times, ( you can not have your own food but they do have vending machines),group sessions and much more... This place is what you make it! They had movie nights and special activities for the women on holidays, at least that's how it was when I was there. It was a shelter for homeless women. Some of the staff was very helpful and some wasnt. You take what you can, give what you can then you will become all that you can. I left Foley house in 2019 to my own studio, where I lived with my husband 4 years. Until he passed. Still the discipline and self worth has stayed. I recently moved into a one bed room home, its hard work but no one is going to do it for me. Foley house provided what I needed it was up to me to use what I could to achieve my goals and I did today I am grateful that places like this exsist! Forever grateful Foley house ~Irma Rivera

Not rehab anymore. It's a homeless shelter for women only. It's run by Volunteers of America and they have no compassion for homeless women there trying to get their lives on track. Your treated like your in jail or army boot camp. No way keep yourself or your few belongings safe . Staff and other residents steal with no discipline. Your not allowed to eat when ur hungry only when they say so. Quality of food is horrible. Breakfast for grown adult women sometimes just 2 toasted pieces of small bread. No protein at breakfast, your not allowed seconds if ur still hungry your s.o.l. same mushy over cook or under cook raw veggies daily no flavor plus dry brown boring rice it's horribly run the rules are stupid and no real trained caring mature women work here. Most rude loud barking orders at you wake u up when ur sleeping and won't do anything to help you get housing or anything. Your not allowed to bring your own food so u can eat when ur hungry as a grown woman should be allowed to do. So you basically starve all day and night!
