<p><strong>ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES — AMERICAN RECOVERY CENTER</strong></p> <p>Founded in 1973, Behavioral Health Services (BHS) is <strong>a nonprofit, community-based organization</strong> that operates more than a dozen locations throughout Los Angeles County. American Recovery Center (ARC), BHS’s Pomona-based clinic, offers <strong>residential and outpatient treatment</strong> to individuals struggling with <strong>substance use disorder</strong>. The facility also provides medical detox, a service offered by <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">15 percent</a> of all non-hospital-based treatment facilities in California.</p> <p>Additionally, the center provides services for clients who are required to undergo <strong>court-ordered treatment</strong> for drug possession, <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/why-do-people-drink-and-drive-the-answers-are-pretty-jarring/" target="_blank">drinking and driving</a>, and domestic violence.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>If necessary, clients begin their treatment with medical detoxification. This program lasts up to <strong>14 days</strong> and includes 24-hour supervision, addiction education, and an introduction to <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-a-non-religious-journalist-makes-a-case-for-aa-in-2017/" target="_blank">12-step principles</a>. Once stabilized, discharged clients may be referred to ARC’s residential or outpatient unit.</p> <p>Most residential clients remain on-site for <strong>three to six months</strong>. During this time, the treatment team provides <strong>addiction education</strong> and therapeutic interventions aimed to help clients resolve any legal problems, as well as issues related to medical and psychiatric care, family dynamics, social interaction, education, and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-addiction-can-interfere-with-your-job-performance/" target="_blank">job readiness</a>. Clients are also <strong>encouraged to build a sober network</strong> to help them maintain long-term sobriety.</p> <p>Outpatient treatment is highly individualized and may be used as a standalone treatment or as a step-down from residential care.
