<p><strong>ABOUT HOLLYWOOD DETOX CENTER</strong></p> <p>Hollywood Detox Center, located in Los Angeles, Calif., offers <strong>multiple levels of residential detoxification treatment</strong> to individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. The facility takes a <a href="https://www.recovery.org/forums/discussion/7265/what-is-holistic-treatment-and-how-can-it-help" target="_blank">holistic approach</a> to the withdrawal process, prioritizing physical, emotional, and spiritual recovery. This singularly focused rehab center is one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">197 (15 percent of 1,311)</a> California treatment facilities to provide non-hospital, residential detox services.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Clients begin the admission process to Hollywood Detox Center by scheduling a clinical assessment on-site. Most residents remain in treatment <strong>three to seven days</strong>. </p> <p>There are four main types of detox programs provided. The sub-acute medically monitored approach <strong>focuses on beginning the recovery process from long-term, active addiction</strong>. Clients see medical professionals daily, are clinically observed 24/7, and participate in the array of therapies provided at the detox center. </p> <p>Clients who have been participating in a sober living program but have relapsed recently may enroll in the behavioral detox track. <strong>While clinically monitored, the emphasis is on psychological processing</strong> and preparing to return to structured sober living. A stabilization program is also available for clients who have received a <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">dual diagnosis</a> of <strong>co-occurring mental health disorders</strong>. Their care includes staff coordination with outside psychiatric treatment providers.</p> <p>Also available is a <strong>24-hour, pre-admission clearance</strong> detox program that prepares clients to begin treatment at another residential facility. Among the therapeutic modalities utilized at the facility are <strong>guided meditation, yoga</strong>, massage, cold laser, nutritional counseling, and hypnotherapy. <strong>Treatment plans may also include medication</strong> to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Smoking cessation support is available.</p> <p><a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">Aftercare</a> typically involves an <strong>extensive discharge plan</strong> and referrals for continuing treatment. Individuals detoxing from <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/benzodiazepine" target="_blank">benzodiazepines</a> go through a longer tapering process for a safe withdrawal and may have follow-up appointments scheduled at Hollywood Detox Center after initial residential treatment.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Hollywood Detox Center employs consulting and full-time clinical staff members, including a physician, nurses, and certified addiction counselors. The facility is among the just <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/2017_nssats_rpt.pdf" target="_blank">20 percent</a> of treatment facilities nationwide accredited by the <a href="https://www.jointcommission.org/" target="_blank">Joint Commission</a>.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>This facility is located in a renovated Victorian home with a view of the Hollywood Sign, and <strong>offers private or semi-private rooms</strong>. Hollywood Detox Center provides residents with <strong>gourmet meals</strong>, which can be customized. An outdoor smoking area is available, snacks and beverages are available 24/7, and <strong>each room is equipped with cable</strong>. A shared workstation provides computer and internet access.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Both former clients of Hollywood Detox Center polled to date by Rehabs.com awarded four or five out of five stars for all metrics evaluated. These included the staff’s level of training and experience, treatment for co-occurring disorders, exercise and leisure activities, and the facility’s cleanliness, upkeep, and affordability.</p> <p>Feedback on other secondary review sites was similarly favorable, with a few polarizing exceptions. Three of four ratings for the detox center on Google were five out of five stars, as were nine of 13 ratings on Yelp.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small></p> <p>A majority of reviews <strong>highlighted the center’s comfortable accommodations, fitness classes, and food</strong>, which was characterized as healthy and enjoyable. Alumni also repeatedly complimented the staff as respectful, accommodating, and supportive. Critical reviewers depicted the facility as <strong>lacking in supervision</strong>, creating a non-therapeutic environment. The two written reviews for Hollywood Detox Center on Facebook echoed both these trends.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a></small> </p> <p>Two alumni reviews referenced an introduction to the 12-Steps as part of their treatment program, as did multiple staff reviews.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any feedback from affiliated friends or family members for this facility. The two Google reviews by parents of alumni both granted just one-star ratings. Both reported administrative issues, including financial concerns.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Similarly to parent reviews, the one former staff member polled by Rehabs.com was highly critical of the detox center. They rated the fairness of treatment pricing just two stars and cited inconsistencies in treatment as a weakness.</p> <p>Eight former and current employees on Indeed and four on Glassdoor contributed to an average rating of 3.3 out of five stars for Hollywood Detox Centers on both sites.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-5"><sup>[5]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-6"><sup>[6]</sup></a></small> About one-third of staffers concurred with alumni concerns about <strong>inconsistent treatment and an overly lax setting.</strong> </p> <p>In a representative review, one wrote on Indeed: “Management very relaxed on client rule compliance.” One reviewer also concurred with the comments of a couple of alumni who reported that they felt pressured to stay longer in treatment. On the other hand, staff reviewers also repeatedly identified supporting clients as a top priority. Several also commented positively on the facility’s food.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to the Hollywood Detox Center website, insurance coverage is typically out of network, through PPOs. Self-pay is accepted. The website also states a facility goal of being exceptionally affordable in the region.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=hollywood+detox+center&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS725US725&oq=hollywood+detox+center&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j0l3.4369j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x80c2c757f02e1491:0x681679e24f966a7,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/hollywood-detox-center-los-angeles-2" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/hollywood-detox-center-los-angeles-2</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/hollywood-detox-center-los-angeles-2" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/not<em>recommended</em>reviews/hollywood-detox-center-los-angeles-2</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hollywood-Detox-Center/594881550638865" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hollywood-Detox-Center/594881550638865</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-5"><sup>[5]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Hollywood-Detox-Center/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Hollywood-Detox-Center/reviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-6"><sup>[6]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Hollywood-Detox-Center-Reviews-E840359.htm" target="_blank">https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Hollywood-Detox-Center-Reviews-E840359.htm</a></small></p>
