Northbound Recovery Center truly saved my life. From day one, I was met with compassion, support, and genuine care. The staff is absolutely amazing.My case manager, Randall, went above and beyond every step of the way. He was always there for me, truly invested in my recovery, and made a lasting impact on my journey.Cresha helped me dive into my past and uncover the root of my struggles something I had never been able to do before. Her insight and support were life-changing.And Coco she was my light on the dark days. Her hugs, smiles, and kind words always lifted me up when I needed it most.Thanks to Northbound, I ve found hope again. I ve started building a life I m proud of. I will forever be grateful for this place and the people who gave me a second chance.

I will always hold Northbound and the staff there very close to my heart. Unfortunately I have been to countless treatments. But fortunately I found Northbound to be my safe place and home. David Gates is truly a gift and my guardian angel! I don't even have the words to describe my utter and sincere gratitude for this man. Cherish is such a special woman! She effortlessly shows true concern and support for every client she's works with and I love this woman. Holly is one of the most beautiful and special souls I have ever worked with and met. There is nothing that I have had to go her for help with that she didn't atleast help me find the answer. Soge has such a gentle softness to her that I am able to get fully honest and vulnerable with all of myself. Dustin has always met me exactly where I am at. He's honest with the hard truth while still staying loving and kind. Now a quick but deep appreciation for Ryan, Brian, Anthony, Destiny, Candice, Tammy, Tiffany, JJ, Michael (with his southern accent) Marissa, Wendy, Amanda, CoCo, Big country, Beth, Erin, Mike, Albert, Ahmad, Michelle, Kenneth, the kitchen staff, the sweet woman who clean up after us. And truly every single person who is there most days helping us all find life and living again. I am not longer stuck and hopeless. I believe anyone who wants to find a new way will find it here.

Accepted Insurance

Alcohol and Drug Abuse – Unidos Recovery Home works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Randall has been a blessing and a big reason that I have stayed. He speaks life and has an energy that could charge a dead battery. He is kind and thoughtful. He doesn't judge and meets you as the person you are. He is great and I'm glad he gets to spread his light and energy. It is beautiful to see how lights up moments of doubt, frustration, a room, and in general any dark spaces or moods. Northbound is lucky to have such a high vibration. Stay beautiful and keep walking in who you are. It's infectious and uplifting.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⚡️⚡️⚡️✨️♥️♥️.. I have had the best team of people, Freeman, Cresia, Kayla RN, and Keaton have all paid an important role in my time at Northbound.

As soon as I arrived at Northbound David Gates helped me with my legal issues and Cherish Lawrence helped me get sort term disability. This helped me to focus on my program and I didn’t need to worry about outside issues anymore. And Dustin helped me continue my care by setting me up with a safe location to transfer to. I would recommend Northbound to anyone trying to get sober.

Fantastic facility and a great program offered by the extremely caring team at Northbound. You really feel taken care of, from staff, therapists and the clinical team. Northbound has tremendous extra curricular activities too, which is key in recovery including a volleyball court, gym, basketball and more. The adventure recovery program allows you to get outdoors and travel outside the facility to places that fill your heart and soul. In addition they have wolf therapy, a once in a lifetime experience. If you are struggling with your mental health or addiction, I would highly recommend northbound as a dual diagnosis and court approved facility.

Northbound was a truly life-changing experience for me. The detox and intake process was smooth and the residential living is superb. You can really tell the staff cares about each and every client. Dustin, the director of discharge, also got me setup with a great aftercare plan so I could continue my sober journey beyond Northbound. I am forever grateful for the friends I made here and for the care that I received.
