<p><strong>ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY’S CANOGA PARK ADULT REHABILITATION CENTER</strong></p> <p>The Salvation Army's Canoga Park Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC), located in Canoga Park, Calif., offers <strong>residential treatment to men and women struggling with alcohol and drug dependence</strong>. The Salvation Army is one of the country’s largest providers of addiction recovery services and among <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">53.3 percent</a> of private nonprofit substance abuse treatment facilities in the state. The ARC program provides emotional, spiritual, and social assistance to clients. According to the Salvation Army, the mission of this <strong>Christian faith-based organization</strong> is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ while meeting human needs without discrimination.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>All potential clients undergo a comprehensive intake process to determine if the Salvation Army's Canoga Park ARC is suitable. Participation in the program requires a <strong>long-term commitment of at least six months.</strong> In California, the ARC is among <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">33.6 percent</a> of substance abuse treatment facilities that offer long-term (over 30 days) of residential, non-hospital care. </p> <p>The program follows a <strong>holistic, work-therapy approach</strong>. Residents combat addiction as they receive <strong>group and individual counseling</strong>, spiritual direction, and life skill development training to help them end their dependence on substances.</p> <p>Throughout treatment, clients are taught how to provide for themselves and others as they set and achieve sustainable employment goals. Clients also receive guidance on how to <strong>develop a personal relationship with God</strong> and, according to the facility’s website, many learn to depend on God for relief from their troubles instead of turning to drugs or alcohol.</p> <p>Although families are not directly incorporated into the treatment program, the website indicates that a goal of the program is to <strong>restore families</strong> by reuniting clients with their families and resuming healthy daily routines following rehabilitation. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There currently is no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff. A staff member surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing revealed they were an addictions counselor with a bachelor’s degree.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There currently is no information provided by the facility regarding its living arrangements and related offerings.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has yet to receive alumni feedback to date. At the time of this writing, the Salvation Army's Canoga Park ARC received mostly positive coverage on secondary sites. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Of the three reviews on Google, two were positive – perfect five stars and four out of five stars -- where as the other was a negative two stars. However, the negative review indicated the rating addressed the organization’s thrift store rather than treatment program. </p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>At the time of this writing, the one staff member polled by Rehabs.com submitted favorable feedback about the facility. The anonymous staff member awarded positive ratings to a series of evaluated metrics: perfect five stars for experience of the medical staff, fair pricing, honesty, loyalty to patients, overall quality of leadership, patient privacy policies, and protocols training; four stars for experience of addiction staff and overall quality of patient treatment and care; and three stars for experience of the mental health staff and patients’ interests. </p> <p>The reviewer, who would recommend the facility, indicated that the program closely followed the 12-Step model and did not administer medications for the treatment of alcohol or drug use disorders.</p> <p>On the secondary site Indeed, staff postings about the Salvation Army's Canoga Park ARC yielded <strong>favorable coverage</strong> from 28 reviews to date. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> Of note, from their commentary, it appeared that many, if not most of the postings, pertained to the organization’s Thrift Store operation rather than to its treatment program. </p> <p>Positive reviewers praised the productive environment, useful experience gained, and fulfilling work. Negative comments concerned low pay and high stress, as reflected in the posting by a former employee: “A place to work, but never move up/ahead, very stressful, not worth the money. First and foremost a business, and a place for drug/alcohol rehabilitation second.” </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The Salvation Army's Canoga Park ARC provides its services <strong>free of charge</strong> to clients and is funded by donations as well as sales from its thrift store. In the state of California, the program is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">one of 66</a> substance abuse treatment facilities that does not accept payment from clients. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a><a href="https://www.google.com/search?ei=QrfhW6_REIyn5gLutpGAAw&q=Salvation+Army+Canoga+Park+Ca+Rehabilitation+reviews&oq=Salvation+Army+Canoga+Park+Ca+Rehabilitation+reviews&gs_l=psy-ab.3..33i299.15329.18050..18756...0.0..0.91.1087.15......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71.C8g3cc4oiT4#lrd=0x80c29c63f6a433e5:0xca0c90c10701ffb4,1,,,&spf=1541519191431" target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/The-Salvation-Army/reviews?fcountry=US&floc=Canoga+Park%2C+CA" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/The-Salvation-Army/reviews?fcountry=US&floc=Canoga+Park%2C+CA</a></small></p>
