About Volunteers of America Central City Recovery
The world’s entertainment capital, Los Angeles, California also features Volunteers of America Central City Recovery. Since 1896, this faith-based nonprofit organization has provided social services to those in need. This location offers a structured, co-ed space for healing away from distractions.
They welcome adults over the age of 18 battling addiction. Many of their clients also are returning from the criminal justice system or experiencing homelessness. You must be comfortable in a setting with diverse cultures, ethnicities, and lifestyles.
Many spend between 30 and 120 days in their residential program, but the length of stay depends on your unique needs. You’ll benefit from treatment best practices to develop coping skills as well as learn to manage stress and overcome barriers to successful recovery.
Comprehensive Wraparound Services
What stands out most to me are their wraparound services. You can access tailored support with your recovery goals at the forefront. Along with treatment, they provide case management and treatment referrals. These services can connect you with appropriate levels of care along with essential resources, like permanent housing and employment.
An Alternative for People in the Criminal Justice System
Another thing that caught my eye was their programs for people in the criminal justice system. They provide court ordered residential, outpatient, and transitional living homes through Southern California Drug and Alcohol Programs (SCADP). I think this is a great option because many people facing legal issues due to addiction benefit more from treatment than incarceration.
Personalized Support for Healing and Recovery
Lastly, I think it’s great that they provide trauma informed care. They understand that traumatic experiences can impact addiction and your responsiveness to treatment. You’ll benefit from a customized approach to help you overcome trauma and sustain recovery.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
