About Fred Brown’s Recovery Services

Fred Brown Recovery Services is a 12 Step based substance use disorder treatment program in San Pedro, California. They offer phased residential treatment in a clean, comfortable, friendly and homelike atmosphere. Individual attention and small group sizes are essential features of this program. This ensures personalized support and fosters meaningful connections among participants.

This program is CARF accredited. This means they satisfy the requirements for quality care delivery. This is made possible by their highly experienced care personnel including licensed counselors and nurses. They accept adults over 18 who are Medi-Cal eligible.

The first phase of the program involves comprehensive assessment and evaluation. This helps the care team craft individual treatment plans tailored to your unique situation. Referrals are provided for detox if necessary. Emphasis is on individual counseling and support. You’ll be introduced to the recovery process including group therapy and substance use education. The second phase helps you confront your behavior, attitudes and thinking patterns via therapy.

Family involvement, group therapy and life skills education sessions are prioritized to help you build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. You’ll also participate in 12 step meetings, nutritional therapy and recreational therapy. This expands your understanding of addiction and strengthens connections with support groups. It also sharpens your awareness of relapse triggers while promoting better health and nutrition. Spiritual counseling may be introduced as a core aspect of the ‘whole person’ recovery.

The third phase is all about building self esteem through community leadership. You’ll set personal goals and improve communication in all areas of your life. The recovery team will craft a customized aftercare including referrals for ongoing support like mental health or vocational services. The last phase of the program involves implementing your aftercare plans. Structured sober and transitional living accommodations are made available for you in the same location.

You’re encouraged to continue the 12 step group and obtain an AA or NA sponsor. It is also recommended that you attend the weekly relapse prevention, anger management workshops and alumni meetings. Comments from past clients reflect an overall positive experience and great quality of care.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

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) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

aftercare 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.

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).

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

heart-hands 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.

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.

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 in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.

Nutrition Therapy

Substances can prevent the absorption of nutrients and cause damage to your body's systems. Nutrition therapy in California addresses the deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that are caused by substance abuse.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

The goal of nicotine replacement therapy in California is to mitigate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. It cuts down on your cravings by supplying a small dose of nicotine without exposing your body to the toxins of cigarette smoke.

Check icon Accreditations

CARF

Great program with helpful staff EXCEPT 505 s. Pacific ave. Director "Adrian" He's so rude and handling client like Criminal & human terminal Scabies.I think he's a homicide detective, he always does like that. CEO Roxanna Natale Brown should fire him right away.

Do not put your full faith in this program. They will throw you out for not having a sponsor. I understand a sponsor is supposed to help you with the 12 steps. But, to throw someone out for not having a sponsor is backwards. I thought you throw people out if they relapse. But, even when they relapse. You supposed to help them get back in inpatient. Witch some people they do help. An, these are the one's they have favoritism for. Funny how you can be sober. An, get throw out for not having a sponsor. Are they what to put a curfew on you for not having a sponsor. Curfew is 10:00pm. An, if you don't have no sponsor. They try to make your curfew 8:00pm. The start time to leave the house is from 6AM to 10PM. Every time I look up. It's some drama with the staff. Are some drama at the RBH housing. There are only a few staff members that are cool. But, most of them want to play mind games with the patience.

Couldn t even speak to the CEO when I got unfairly discharged. I didn t even have a face to face talk to the CEO/Director. I never relapsed like other clients and still they got a second chance. Staff and Counselors there play favoritism and are very discriminatory against patients. Roxanna Natale-Brown is this mystery woman that no client can seem to talk to or see and she is the CEO . Yesinia the counselor is very unprofessional and should give up being a counselor. When I was discharged she gave me bogus referrals to treatment centers when I was already at their Soberliving and never even relapsed. The whole point of me being in Soberliving is because I transitioned from a treatment center. People have their different experience with Fred Brown, but mine was Horrible, and I don t recommend a friend or family member to go through Fred Brown.

Response from the owner3 years ago
