This place was not helpful at all it was good for me to have a schedule and be around people but it didn’t help my ed. I was faced with extreme judgment and judgmental faces when I shared deep things about where my head was at with my ed which really hurt me, because I wasn’t met with compassion just judgement. My first day here I remember them telling us that there was a FOOD BUGET! Excuse me this is an eating disorder facility where we pay $1,300 a day to be there why is there a budget on food when that’s the majority of why were there or allowed to bring our own food when food ran out. I remember weekly reminders they were on a budget, and my last week the restrictions on food got worse while they were piling on more patients where there was not enough room for us to sit and one by one staff was quitting while they kept admitting people with limited staff. They only care about getting your insurance money providing no treatment just worksheets and watching tv, and random things that have nothing to do with eating disorder care. They don’t know how to help people with anorexia, they only have high calorie food, high sugary processed junk and count it as small exchanges and basically are asking you to have the opposite ed and giving you diabetes in the process.

As a past patient who went here at 11 years old and struggled with anorexia I do agree with some of these reviews, like i did not enjoy the meal plans, or some dietitians that had worked there, but i did enjoy group therapy and the activities we would do. I personally do not recommend at least this location if you or a close one needs help because when I started at Center for discovery. I started at residential in La Habra, which was a very good experience but this location I didn't enjoy as much, and I thought there was a lot of things they could fix.

Accepted Insurance

Center for Discovery Glendale 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.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

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

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.
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

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

As a person with binge eating disorder I found this place has made my condition worse rather than better. Their ridiculous meal plans and portioning has helped me gain a significant amount of weight. The HAES(health at every shape) mentality is nice, but I don't feel anymore healthy at all after some time in treatment. Everyday I leave treatment bloated and mentally/physically drained and exhausted. Everyone is friendly and tries to be helpful, but most of the staff is inexperienced and the groups are poorly scheduled. There was almost 2 hours of downtime several days during the week. There are very few adult patients in the evening, so there is a lot more focused treatment. So that's a plus. Ultimately though, the point of coming into in-person therapy is a group environment and support from peers. There are very few others present the majority of the time. I would recommend this facility for people with restricting behaviors because most of the therapy is geared towards that type of recovery, but they're unprepared and poorly trained for anything else. The afternoon adult IOP program and the evening teen IOP program are the most beneficial as far as my observations.

I do think there’s a lot of staff here that cares about their patients but they often have counterproductive and sometimes even deluded ways of demonstrating that.

I kinda wanna even out the one star reviews because in my experience it wasn’t that bad. I would say most of the therapists are kind and helpful and I met some really amazing people there and I do believe it helped me in my recovery. I feel bad for those who had negative experiences here because I know it’s a struggle:(

Absolutely terrible. I have to agree with all the other reviews about the lack of experience, judgmental attitude, and complete ineffectiveness of the majority of the staff and definitely of the program as a whole. Really, the ONLY benefit to being here was meeting another client who is now one of my closest friends. Other than that, this place was re-traumatizing (worthless for anything except super basic trauma management, not therapy - basically grounding skills that you could get better instruction on with YouTube videos) and had no concept of how to help someone with complex PTSD. Honestly, I think the people there were simply under-trained, inexperienced, and poorly supported but mostly cared about clients, so I've refrained from leaving a review. However, now - 18 months later - CFD has begun to harass me with calls from a collections agency with claims that I owe close to $4,000 - even though I have sent documentation multiple times to their billing department showing that CFD's own representatives put IN WRITING that I owed $0 in co-payments and out of pocket expenses! I just wasted more of my time on a phone call with said collections agency, during which the agency rep expressed how ridiculous this was and apologized for having to bother me with this. Get your act together, CFD. Clearly I'm not alone in my awful experience.

Horrible, horrible experience. Center for discovery glendale should be shut down. Their groups have no substance...they are basically an awkward 45 minute staring contest. What a waste of time and money. The therapists there are a joke. They look like all they are doing is having fun. I don't know how anyone can get better there. Please...DO. NOT. GO. THERE.
