Reviewers frequently praised the caring staff, supportive environment, and effective 12-step program, with some noting the benefits of staff who are also in recovery. Criticisms often centered on the quality of the food and aspects of the daily schedule, such as a lack of downtime or activities. While many credited the facility with their long-term sobriety, one reviewer found the program ineffective for their needs.

<p><strong>ABOUT CHABAD RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTER FOR MEN</strong></p> <p>Located on Los Angeles’ Miracle Mile, Chabad Residential Treatment Center for Men is one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">540 (37.8%)</a> treatment facilities in the state to provide <strong>residential substance abuse treatment</strong>. This program is specifically for <strong>men ages 18 and up</strong>. The center’s multi-staged program is non-sectarian, but it does draw from the traditional values of the Jewish Torah. Chabad does not employ any medical staff, therefore <strong>individuals who require detox or treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders should seek care elsewhere.</strong></p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Chabad uses a <strong>four-stage program</strong> to treat addiction. Stage one is a period of self-exploration: clients work with an individual therapist to better understand the problems underlying their addiction. In stage two, clients are introduced to the <strong><a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-a-non-religious-journalist-makes-a-case-for-aa-in-2017/" target="_blank">12-Steps</a></strong> - incorporated into <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">78.3% of California substance abuse center programming</a> - and begin to build and strengthen their network of peers, friends, and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/the-pain-of-addiction-in-the-family-how-counseling-can-help/" target="_blank">family members</a>.</p> <p>In stage three, clients are given more freedom and encouraged to <strong>focus on improving family dynamics</strong> and utilize their newfound problem-solving skills. In stage four, clients focus on transition by developing <strong>a plan for re-entering society, securing employment</strong> or pursuing educational opportunities, and solidifying communication and life skills. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to its website, Chabad employs a team of highly experienced clinicians. The center offers a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio. In fact, <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">98.3% of substance abuse treatment centers in California</a> have continuing education requirements for professional staff. To date, 13 former clients and facility staff have provided feedback to Rehabs.com.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Staff level of training and experience: 4/5 stars</strong></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The residential facility, which includes some private bedrooms, can house <strong>up to 40 men</strong> at a time, allowing for many more clients than the average residential treatment facility that only accommodates <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/2016_NSSATS.pdf" target="_blank">18 clients</a> at a time. As part of their treatment, clients have access to a <strong>state-of-the-art gym, acupuncture sessions</strong>, and weekly outings to the beach or park. Kosher meals and Sabbath services are provided for those who wish to participate in the program’s spiritual components. The 13 alumni and staff members polled at the time of this writing were pleased with facility accommodations.</p> <blockquote> <p>The facility is clean and well maintained: 4.3/5 stars</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>When asked how likely they were to recommend the facility to others, the 11 alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date were <strong>extremely satisfied</strong>. </p> <blockquote> <p>I would recommend this facility to a friend or family member who was considering treatment: 4.6/5</p> </blockquote> <p>“It fosters recovery and limits pampering making a great environment for true recovery,” E.B. reported to Rehabs.com. While all evaluated categories received above average ratings, <strong>the program’s family participation and the facility's affordability received the highest ratings</strong>.</p> <blockquote> <p>Family/loved ones are able to participate in treatment through facility programming: 4.5/5 stars</p> <p>Treatment is affordable and/or payment plans, scholarships, or financial assistance are available: 4.4/5 stars</p> </blockquote> <p>“The facility was great,” J.F. wrote in a representative review. Former client A.C. noted, "It's a great facility and the religious aspect doesn't overshadow the recovery!" Alumni were also generally satisfied with the staff’s level of training and experience: “Good counsellors, solid meetings,” one anonymous alum wrote. More than one alumni also <strong>described the staff as "caring"</strong> and specifically noted this as a facility strength.</p> <p>Additionally, alumni were impressed with the program’s exercise and leisure options, but expressed less satisfaction with the program’s holistic offerings, which received the lowest rating overall. </p> <blockquote> <p>This facility offers excellent leisure, exercise, and extracurricular options: 4.1/5 stars</p> <p>The facility has high quality holistic offerings: 3.7/5 stars</p> </blockquote> <p>The center’s <strong>food was the most common complaint</strong> among surveyed alumni. “Food options were poor,” J.L.P. wrote in a representative review.</p> <p>On Google at the time of this writing, this facility received <strong>nothing but praise</strong>, earning <strong>five out of five total stars</strong> from 17 reviewers to date.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> The staff and program alike were equally credited as life-saving, and M.L. wrote, "They have a great facility and a very knowledge staff" in a representative response. </p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>The two staff members polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing shared <strong>opposing views of the facility and its offerings.</strong> One staff member indicated that they would not recommend the facility to others and provided below average ratings for most evaluated categories, including the program’s treatment effectiveness (two stars), holistic offerings, family participation, ability to treat co-occurring disorders, and counseling options (<strong>all just one star</strong>). </p> <p>On the other hand, employee B.A., when asked how likely they were to recommend the facility to others, provided a five-star rating. “Run like family. to nice. one of the best rehab i been in,” B.A. wrote. This individual gave five-star ratings across the board, for holistic offerings, family participation, counseling options, 12-step counseling, ability to treat co-occurring disorders, cleanliness, and affordability. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>One month of treatment costs $5,400, and one day of treatment is priced at $1,800. The facility accepts private insurance, like <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">53.4%</a> of other facilities in the state, and some financial aid is available to those who qualify.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/2xhqR4" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/2xhqR4</a></small></p>
