MEN'S TREATMENT SERVICES</strong></p> <p>The Ranch Recovery Centers in Desert Hot Springs, Calif., provides <strong>gender-specific treatment</strong> for adults struggling with substance abuse. Men’s treatment services are <strong>12-step-based and include detoxification and residential treatment</strong>. Of California’s 1,311 treatment facilities, just <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">197 (15 percent) offer</a> residential, non-hospital detox services. Treatment tailored for adult men is available at 52.3 percent of facilities. Women’s services are provided at the Ranch’s <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/the-ranch-recovery-centers-inc-hacienda-valdez-216630769/" target="_blank">Hacienda Valdex</a>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Detoxification services at The Ranch Recovery Centers typically occur over three to seven days. Clients receive <strong>medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed</strong> and are introduced to a 12-steps recovery approach, which is continued in the next stage of programming. </p> <p>Treatment at The Ranch is <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/5-questions-to-ask-a-rehab-if-youre-dealing-with-trauma/" target="_blank">trauma-informed</a>. In addition to <strong>individual and group counseling</strong>, clients participate in educational sessions on the physiology of addiction and various life skills. Classes also <strong>address anger management and parenting</strong>. </p> <p>Family members (including teens) and friends can attend a three-day, education-oriented family program. This program is also open to those who do not have loved ones enrolled in treatment.<br /> Aftercare or initial treatment is available via The Ranch's 20-hour-per-week partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). In California, only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">18.5 percent of facilities</a> offer a PHP level of care.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Although there is currently no information available regarding staff credentials at The Ranch Recovery Centers, the facility’s website indicates that treatment incorporates intensive peer involvement and a <strong>local doctor is available to prescribe medication</strong> during detox. To date, most of the eleven individuals polled on the matter by Rehabs.com indicated moderate satisfaction with the treatment team’s qualifications.</p> <blockquote> <p>Staff Experience and Training: 3.3/5</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, The Ranch Recovery Centers can accommodate more than 100 clients at a time. Residents in the men’s program share bedrooms in a building with plenty of natural light. The campus has an <strong>outdoor workout area and basketball hoop, as well as a garden and pond</strong>. Smoking is allowed in designated areas.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Of the 18 former clients of The Ranch Recovery Centers men’s treatment services polled by Rehabs.com to date, <strong>50 percent provided positive feedback, 39 percent were critical, and two gave mixed reviews</strong>. Seven were polled more extensively and followed the overall split. With the exception of their highest rating for staff training and experience, they tended to rate metrics measuring accommodations higher than treatment-related elements.</p> <blockquote> <p>Facility Cleanliness and Upkeep: 3.4/5<br /> Exercise and Leisure Activities: 2.9/5<br /> Counseling Options: 2.1/5</p> </blockquote> <p>Alumni who would recommend the facility to others reported having learned a lot while in rehab, <strong>identifying counselors and counseling as strengths</strong> and reporting that the program was effective if the client was committed to working for recovery. By contrast, several dissatisfied alumni <strong>cited inadequate staffing</strong> (absence of full-time medical employees and unavailable or poorly trained counselors) as a weakness.</p> <p>Elsewhere on the internet, feedback for The Ranch was almost universally favorable. At the time of this writing, 28 individuals had contributed to an average rating of <strong>4.7 out of five stars</strong> on Google.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> The facility’s official Facebook page (which its staff may monitor) boasted 4.8 out of five stars based on the opinion of 59 people.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> These trends reflected reviews from alumni, friends, and family, for both the men’s and women’s programs.</p> <p>Several reviewers represented the treatment program as <strong>more affordable than others</strong>. Repeated comments also characterized The Ranch as life-saving or life-changing, praised the staff, and reported ongoing recovery.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Feedback from four loved ones polled by Rehabs.com was split evenly between two who would not recommend men’s treatment services at The Ranch Recovery Centers to others, and two who rated their likelihood to recommend three out of five stars.</p> <p>The central concern of the two more critical reviewers was <strong>insufficient time in treatment</strong>. The two offering mixed reviews concluded that, despite “caring staff” and a program that “will help if you want help,” the facility needed more support groups, more access to addiction physicians, and more supervision to support residents’ sobriety. The four concurred with alumni overall on accommodations, cost, and treatment flexibility.</p> <blockquote> <p>Facility Cleanliness and Upkeep: 3.5/5<br /> Affordability: 3.5/5<br /> Counseling Options: 2.5/5</p> </blockquote> <p>All three Yelp reviews at the time of this writing were from family members. One echoed dissatisfaction with the program’s length. The other two <strong>emphasized the help received</strong>, including financial support and positive communication with family members.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The Ranch Recovery Centers in Desert Hot Springs accepts most insurance, according to the facility’s website, and prospective clients can request verification of coverage through a website form.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS725US725&biw=1407&bih=610&ei=aEXrW5inFKim_QabvrXgBQ&q=ranch+recovery+centers+inc+desert+hot+springs+ca+reviews&oq=ranch+recovery+centers+inc+desert+hot+springs+ca+reviews&gs_l=psy-ab.3...12202.13337..13518...0.0..0.188.1033.0j8......0....1..gws-wiz.......0j0i22i30j33i299j33i160.E6FitI_Cbu4#lrd=0x80db23ccbdd39a7b:0xec4a8e726b773730,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/The-Ranch-Recovery-Centers-Inc-219633241384049/reviews/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/The-Ranch-Recovery-Centers-Inc-219633241384049/reviews/</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-ranch-recovery-centers-desert-hot-springs" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-ranch-recovery-centers-desert-hot-springs</a></small></p>
