The facility is one of the only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">397 (27.8 percent)</a> programs in the state with this specialized focus. </p> <p>Since 1986, the nonprofit facility has served Contra Costa County residents, <strong>regardless of their ability to pay for treatment</strong>. The county, which operates <a href="http://www.rehabs.com/listings/contra-costa-health-services-alcohol-other-drugs-services-291171390/" target="_blank">several substance use disorder treatment programs</a>, contracts with La Casa RTP. Additional inpatient and outpatient support programs are available through Ujima Family Recovery Services for families struggling with behavioral health concerns.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The rehabilitation residence accepts adult women clients and children under the age of six for a <strong>maximum of 90 days</strong>, according to the facility's website. Admission begins with an interview and assessment of each individual's needs in recovery.</p> <p>Treatment follows a <a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/therapeutic-communities/what-therapeutic-communitys-approach" target="_blank">therapeutic community model</a>, emphasizing <strong>responsibility, peer support, and whole life recovery</strong>. Clients receive education about addiction, parenting, life skills, and other relevant topics such as domestic violence.

Before discharge, clients work with Ujima staff to arrange for transitional housing and activities with alumni.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff; however, <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">98.3 percent</a> of substance abuse treatment centers in the state of California have continuing education requirements for staff. The sole Rehabs.com survey respondent to date awarded the staff's level of experience and training four out of five stars.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is also no information provided by Ujima Family Recovery Services regarding the residential treatment program's living arrangements and related offerings. According to a 2016 California state licensing document, La Casa Ujima RTP includes <strong>two neighboring residences with a total of 15 beds</strong> for clients, plus space for on-site staff. This suggests a high level of individualized care, given that the average number of clients in a residential substance abuse program was <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/2016_NSSATS.pdf" target="_blank">18 individuals</a> as of 2016.</p> <p>The one individual polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing revealed general satisfaction with accommodations. She rated the facility's cleanliness and upkeep four stars out of five, and gave three stars for policies regarding telephone and internet use and opportunities for exercise and leisure activity.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole Rehabs.com reviewer to date identified the facility's counselors as a strength, writing that they helped her "understand addiction triggers" and "helped get (her) child back." She gave the overall effectiveness of treatment four stars, as well as four stars for the program's ability to treat co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, the availability of counseling options, the centers admissions and discharge procedures,and opportunities for family involvement in the treatment process. </p> <p>However, <a href="http://www.recovery.org/forums/discussion/7265/what-is-holistic-treatment-and-how-can-it-help" target="_blank">holistic therapy</a> options received a lower rating of two stars, though the former client indicated that treatment was worth the cost and that she would recommend this facility to others</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Beyond noting that services are available for clients who may be unable to pay, no further information is provided by the facility regarding fees or payments. La Casa Ujima receives government and private funding. The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date provided four out of five stars for the center's affordability.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ujima-Family-Recovery-Services/117044585023877" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ujima-Family-Recovery-Services/117044585023877</a></small></p>
