Hello I wanted to inform you guys about a rehabilitation facility named inland valley recovery services out of upland California. So what happened was my sons father is in there and he wanted to leave one day and give up but I informed him no don’t do that I’ll bring the baby so you can have a few weeks with him and I’ll pick him up in a few weeks and he agreed. Well now going on one month and when I go to get my child from the facility the staff there refuse to give me my child and tell me I need a court order. I have been there 3 times already. And mind you the father is not on the birth certificate. And by California law family code 7610 I am the sole parent since me and his father are unmarried. They don’t even allow me in to visit on Saturday which is strange to me. Also they say my son’s father is protected by HIPA and that’s fine but my child isn’t a patient there so he is not and they just tell me they can’t confirm or deny if my child is there. The upland police do not help out in any type of way I just really would like to be taken more seriously. They are holding a one year old from his mother and mind you they do not make me sign any kind of paperwork when I brought my child. At this point they are like holding my son against his will or hostage in a sense. I just want people to understand how IvRs runs this business is horrible and should not be getting away with this. I want my point out there because my son needs me

Managed Health Network (MHN)
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
IVRS offers both regular and intensive outpatient treatment to adult men and women in its Recovery Centers located in the Cities of Upland and San Bernardino. The programs are based on the Matrix model of treatment; along with Terence T. Gorski’s evidence-based practices for relapse prevention. The Recovery Centers provide a safe and stable environment required for the first stages of recovery. They also provide a forum for social activities and events to keep clients “connected” to their foundation for recovery.
Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.
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.
Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
IVRS offers transitional living apartments for men, women, men with children and women with children. Located in the City of Upland, the apartments provide safe and sober housing for persons in recovery from substance abuse and mental health issues. The transition enables clients to avoid having to return to where they may have previously been actively involved in addictive behaviors. The housing provides a structured therapeutic environment that enhances personal accountability and helps the individual gain drug and alcohol free life skills.
The purpose of a professional intervention is to direct a non-compliant alcoholic or addict to treatment. IVRS' professional interventionist works with the family and significant others to carefully plan and execute. IVRS' professional interventionist is specially trained to help the family prepare for the confrontation, which takes place in a "controlled" environment.
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.
IVRS offers detoxification services to adult men and women in a comfortable, homelike atmosphere. Located in the City of Upland, the overall goal of the detoxification program is to stabilize those suffering from the debilitating effects of alcohol and drug abuse so that they can begin the recovery process. Both non-medical and medication assisted (sub acute) services are available. Detoxification assists the individual to cease current alcohol/drug use rapidly and with minimal discomfort through proper nutrition and care from experienced staff.
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.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders often have serious and complex impairments in multiple areas, in addition to drug abuse and mental illness. Clients with severe mental and substance use disorders often have poorer outcomes, expressed as higher rates of relapse, hospitalization, depression and suicide risk. Clients with COD often experience more severe and chronic medical, social, and emotional problems. Because they have two disorders, they are vulnerable to both alcohol/drug relapse and a worsening of the mental health disorder(s). To provide appropriate treatment for this complex population, IVRS collaborates with the County Mental Health Department and/or the client’s personal psychiatrist to ensure that both conditions are treated simultaneously - a key element in successful recovery for individuals with co-occurring disorders. In addition, IVRS’ employs a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that assists with the counseling and treatment of these individuals when necessary.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
Programs
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 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.
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.
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).
Clinical Services
Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.
While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
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.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Chemical dependency is often referred to as a Family Disease and can present unique problems within the family unit. It can and does envelop the entire family. Therefore, IVRS likes to include the family in the treatment process whenever possible. The facility also offers education classes to family members who would like to visit someone in residential programs. Attendance at these classes help the visits to be constructive and safe for everyone and are designed to give clients an idea of what to expect from a loved one in rehabilitation.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
