<p><strong>ABOUT HERNDON RECOVERY CENTER – FRESNO</strong></p> <p>Herndon Recovery Center in Fresno provides a full continuum of <strong>residential and clinic-based treatment for individuals struggling with <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring</strong> mental health and substance use disorders</a>. Medically supervised <strong>detoxification is available on-site</strong>, as well as two intensive outpatient programs. Herndon Recovery maintains small numbers in therapy groups, to prioritize individual attention. The organization also offers outpatient treatment at its nearby <a href="(http://www.rehabs.com/listings/herndon-recovery-center-1701808103/" target="_blank">Visalia, Calif., facility</a>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The assessment process for admission to Herndon Recovery Center includes <strong>psychiatric and trauma evaluations</strong>. The facility's website notes that programming also identifies and builds on clients' individual strengths. The central addiction treatment approach combines 12-step practices and evidence-based talk therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), according to information provided by the facility to Rehabs.com. </p> <p>Residential rehab in Fresno typically lasts 28 days, although the duration of treatment may change, depending on ongoing individual client assessments. Herndon's partial hospitalization program involves attending six hours of treatment, six times per week, while the intensive outpatient program meets for three-hour sessions just two to three times a week, for eight weeks. Both programs often function as "step-down" <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare services</a> for clients following residential discharge.</p> <p>Counseling and education are also available for loved ones.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Under the direction of a board-certified psychiatrist, who also serves as the facility’s medical director, Herndon Recovery Center employs a team of addiction counselors. The facility's website touts its director's previous leadership experience in the county health department.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website regarding its living arrangements and related offerings. However, official Herndon Recovery Center <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/herndonrecovery1/posts/" target="_blank">Facebook posts and photographs depict two</a> comfortably furnished homes with <strong>landscaped yards and outdoor seating, open kitchens</strong>, and semi-private bedrooms.

Ratings were split two-to-three between maximum and minimum ratings. <strong>All three critical reviewers reported inconsistencies or rudeness in staff communication.</strong> In a representative review, Troy wrote: "This by far the worst run recovery center in the Fresno area. The staff is not helpful in anyway and make you feel as though you're inconveniencing them with any questions and concerns you have..." </p> <p>On the other hand, the two positive reviewers <strong>cited the skills they learned as highlights</strong>. One emphasized the value of the 12-step process and the other praised the staff's education and experience, the clean facility, and ongoing benefits of treatment.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole loved one polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave the facility mostly negative feedback. While the anonymous reviewer did award the rehab four out of five stars for its family participation and visitor policies, they granted just one- and two-star ratings for the remaining 13 metrics measured. These included treatment effectiveness, facility cleanliness and upkeep, counseling options, and the staff’s level of training and experience. Echoing Yelp reviewers' <strong>complaints about the main psychiatrist</strong> and the staff's communication and treatment style, the loved one wrote: “Dr was awful to staff and paitients."</p> <p>Five additional Yelp reviews from alumni loved ones were split four-to-one between one- and five-star ratings, out of five. Again, reviewers reported <strong>unprofessional, inconsistent, and unresponsive treatment</strong>. One also cited concerns with the medication-assisted therapy program and with billing issues. Both a one-star and a five-star review reported having received help for the reviewer's spouse at Herndon Recovery Center. One highlighted the effectiveness of the center's dual diagnosis treatment, while the other expressed strong dissatisfaction with the facility's lack of professionalism.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website regarding its costs, however Herndon Recovery Center accepts most private insurance plans, including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue California, Molina, and Western Health Advantage, at the time of this writing. The loved one surveyed by Rehabs.com gave the facility two out of five stars for its affordability, and one star when asked if the cost was worthwhile.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/herndon-recovery-center-fresno-2" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/herndon-recovery-center-fresno-2</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/herndon-recovery-center-fresno-2" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/not<em>recommended</em>reviews/herndon-recovery-center-fresno-2</a></small></p>
