<p><strong>ABOUT LA FUENTE HOLLYWOOD TREATMENT CENTER</strong></p> <p>La Fuente Hollywood Treatment Center offers <strong>a full continuum of care</strong> for adults struggling with addiction. Located in the heart of Hollywood, Calif., in a residential area, the facility <strong>specializes in providing LGBT-focused care</strong>, and offers a variety of treatment options, including residential, outpatient, and sober living programs. <strong>Medical detoxification services are offered on-site</strong> and specialized treatment is provided for those with <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Treatment at La Fuente is individualized and combines evidence-based practices, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with <strong>12-step principles</strong>. Clients undergo a comprehensive physical and psychological evaluation prior to admittance to determine the appropriate level of care.</p> <p>The <strong>LGBT-focused program</strong> focuses on recovery from a variety of substances, including methamphetamine, cocaine, party drugs (GHB, ecstasy, ketamine), alcohol, and prescription medications, as well as issues that commonly affect this population, such as discrimination, homophobia, and sexual identity.</p> <p><strong>The residential program is divided into three stages and typically spans 30 to 60 days</strong>. It begins with detox, if needed, combined with a highly-structured schedule of daily treatment activities, including education on the disease of addiction, <strong>counseling, therapy, peer support</strong>, and 12-step participation. </p> <p>The second phase shifts to developing and solidifying the skills to reintegrate into society. The final stage is spent in the <strong>sober living community</strong>, where clients maintain a relationship with sponsors and abide by daily check-ins, standard curfews, and drug testing, and perform routine household duties.</p> <p><strong>Spiritual awareness and physical exercise</strong> are components of the program, and clients regularly participate in activities such as meditation and yoga. Fitness consultants and dietary experts create specialized exercise regimens and daily menus. A <strong>two-day family program</strong> is offered for loved ones, providing education on addiction and a dinner gathering with clients and other families.</p> <p>Outpatient treatment includes a <strong>partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP)</strong>. PHP typically involves up to six hours per day, while the IOP entails three hours per day. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>La Fuente, within the state of California, is among 25.9 percent of substance abuse treatment centers accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">(CARF)</a>. The treatment team includes a board-certified medical doctor and addiction psychiatrist, licensed clinical social worker, masters-level therapist, group facilitator, and spiritual advisors. The executive director is fluent in Spanish and French.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong>“</p> <p>The <strong>14-bed facility</strong> houses clients in a villa-style property, where they stay in shared bedrooms. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The one alum polled by Rehabs.com to date provided unfavorable feedback. The former client offered neutral ratings at best for the major categories of the survey: one out of five stars for treatment effectiveness, two stars for accommodations and amenities, and three stars for meals and nutrition. The alum shared a harrowing story about their stay at the facility, from lack of attention and an injury to an uncomfortable detox experience and billing concerns. “They are there to get you in and then push you out to flip your bed,” the alum wrote. </p> <p>In stark contrasts, secondary review sites revealed <strong>highly positive alumni opinions</strong> to date: perfect five stars based on eight reviews on Google; 4.9 out of five stars based on 27 reviews on Facebook, which the organization can manage; and a perfect five- star rating 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>Reviewers (alumni, staff, others) <strong>praised the clinical team</strong>, “attention to detail,” and “grounded recovery structure” that helped clients achieve their goals, expressed in a representative review by Robert on Yelp: "Thank you for the love. And my life.” On Google, alum Russell compared the facility favorably to other programs in the area, writing: "I greatly preferred the pro-LGBTQ ambience of La Fuente."</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>The one staff member polled by Rehabs.com to date submitted mixed feedback. C.K. awarded the facility five stars for supporting patients' best interests and staff experience and training, as well as four out of five stars for honesty in marketing. Although C.K. felt that the strengths of the facility were its “clean and specialized programs for each client,” they claimed the rules and protocols were “not adjusted to meet up to date standards which hurts patients and staff.” </p> <p>Of note, C.K.’s opinions do not align with staff members referenced in the Google reviews above, all six of whom awarded perfect five stars to the facility. "La Fuente Hollywood Treatment Center is an amazing program and I am proud to be a part of it," one employee wrote.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The facility does not disclose fees online at this time of this writing. Private insurance is accepted, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, and United Healthcare, and financial assistance is offered.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%2B+La+Fuente+Hollywood+Treatment+Center&oq=%2B+La+Fuente+Hollywood+Treatment+Center&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l2.532j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x80c2bf4c4c1576c1:0x84e4bc5fd4dc8431,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a> </small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/LaFuenteHollywoodTreatmentCenter/reviews/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/LaFuenteHollywoodTreatmentCenter/reviews/</a></small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-fuente-hollywood-treatment-center-los-angeles" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-fuente-hollywood-treatment-center-los-angeles</a></small></p>
