Medical briefcase icon 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

Clients at MFI’s men’s treatment center have access to an array of services in a setting specially designed to promote recovery. Part of the customized therapy plan for each client takes place on location at the Mt. Rubidoux residential treatment facility, and additional services are available at their nearby primary care center. Addiction specialists, paired with Master’s level therapists, work together with each individual to create a deeper understanding of addictive behaviors, developing a recovery plan that maps solutions for each person. MFI Recovery Center’s psychiatrist monitors progress to provide help for those who may be struggling with depression, anxiety or other mental health symptoms. Many clients in their Riverside men’s alcohol and drug rehab programs also have associated medical issues, and it is important that these co-occurring problems are treated at the same time that the substance abuse is addressed.

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.

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

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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.

check 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.

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 (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.

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

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma focused therapy in California that uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements, to help you resolve traumatic memories. This evidence based therapy is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating post traumatic stress disorder and other traumatic conditions. Following an eight phase protocol this approach helps reduce your emotional stress and fosters healing and resilience.

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

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 iconRecreational Therapy

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.

Some of the people were nice, They also helped with the education of getting off the stuff i was on (still clean till this day).. Just lost some of my stuff they had "stored" and the 12 step classes they had weren't actual 12 step classes they would just ask random questions that sometimes made sense but other times didn't, and if you were put in a room with no radio to get a hold of them at night then be ready to go through withdrawals all alone till they make thier rounds again.. All and all just do whatever time you need and get out asap there's no need to stay any longer than you need (not at this place anyway)

If I could leave negative stars I would. This place was a joke. My father went in there to help get him off prescription pain medications and narcotic medications. He came off of those but was sent home with more medication than before, much of which was unnecessary. The staff was incompetent. At one point they "lost" my father, and called my mother at 5:00 PM in the evening stating that he was missing since 11:00 AM that morning. After calling the police, checking local hospitals and driving ALL over the city, my dad called and said he was there the whole time. When confronted about making the call claiming he was missing, they denied the whole thing, which is odd since the number on caller ID was MFI.The final straw was when MFI sent my dad to the hospital in the very early hours of the morning because he was having difficulty breathing (perhaps due to the insane amount of smoking that happens there? I'm just taking a shot in the dark on that one). So, since my dad has COPD, they sent him to the hospital, which was the right thing to do (better would have been to have him in a non-smoking environment but I digress). He was sent to the hospital around 4:00 AM...details on time are sketchy, but the timeframe being very early in the morning is not disputed. MFI did not call anyone in the family to notify us of this until 5:30 PM...approximately THIRTEEN HOURS LATER.I'm guessing that these positive reviews, which we read prior to encouraging my dad to go to MFI were either completely bogus, or the people leaving the reviews didn't spend their own money for treatment. My dad spent $8500 for inadequate treatment. We will be pursuing action to get a refund.

Our family member came home worse than when was admitted. He was reported missing, social worker, family and police called after 5+ hours, only to find out he had never left facility. No one would take responsibility. Meeting are "optional" so he opted out of attending most. Nice staff but not at all helpful. Total waste of time and money. Do not know how they had such good reviews.

Response from the owner5 years ago
Hi Maria. We are sorry that you are not happy with your husband's treatment. However, you all did, in fact, have your family pass. We are extremely family and client oriented. We absolutely love our clients and do our very best for them! There are unfortunately those times when clients act out in ways where staff has to step in and discuss the clients behavior. We are nothing like a prison. We try to provide a very comfortable living environment. Weekend passes, phone privileges, fun activities, and so on are just that... they are privileges. However, they are part of what we do for our clients. Part of treatment beyond learning to live without drugs and alcohol, is learning to change our behaviors. If there is anything we can do to help you as a family, we are absolutely here for you.

MFI gave us our life back!Thank you to all of the outstanding staff there without you who knows where we'd be today. I would really like to Thank Bobby, Renee, Freddie, Candace, Harmony, & Liz for all they have done for us during my husbands time there as well as all the follow up in the months since he was coined out.My husband was a mess 1 year ago when I dropped him off there, we had family counseling as well as my husband got the counseling he needed to put his addiction behind him.I never thought I'd say this but we are happier than ever! My husband remains connected with his fellow alumni as well as the new guys that come in for help.I can't thank you enough for all you've done to make our family whole again! You truly are "My Family" as well.
