Chabad views drug abuse as a symptom of a deeper problem. Our program uses a psychological-therapy and 12 step model that concentrates on the underlying issues contributing to dependence. We focus on establishing a structure that promotes recovery and improves the quality of life, placing special significance on ethical and moral growth that is so vital to the development of personal integrity. Accordingly, although the program is non-sectarian, it is based on the age old values of Jewish Torah, the source of Judeo-Christian values.

Our goal is to give each client the foundation and motivation to lead an alcohol and drug free lifestyle with confidence, as a productive member of society. Chabad works to ensure that each graduate will have the tools he needs to effectively cope with the psychological, environmental, emotional and interpersonal triggers of relapse.

Eligibility
Any man 18 years of age and older who is abusing drugs or alcohol or has a recent history of drug/alcohol abuse, and whom the intake evaluation determines would benefit from extensive psychological treatment in a structured residential setting, is eligible. The following conditions may cause ineligibility: 1) acute or chronic mental or physical disorders which cannot be managed in the center; 2) the need for frequent visits to physicians or dentists; 3) intense involvement with legal issues requiring frequent court appearances.

Trained counselors provide 24 hour supervision to maintain program policies and meet individual needs.

The center is certified and licensed by the California State Department Of Alcohol and Drug Programs as a residential care facility for men 18 years and older. The center is partially funded under the Drug Program Plan of the County of Los Angeles.
