Inland Valley Drug and Alcohol - Recovery Services/Men/Women/Children

Therapeutic Community Model of Treatment

This facility utilizes Therapeutic Community (TC) model, a structured, peer-based approach that treats recovery as a shared process of change. Clients participate in group activities, counseling, and community responsibilities that build accountability and self-efficacy. This model helps individuals—especially parents—restore stability, responsibility, and connection as part of daily life in recovery. Each stay, typically 30 to 90 days, is tailored by clinical assessment and focused on long-term reintegration into family and community settings.

Continuum of Care

Through the continuum of care, clients can progress through detox, residential, and outpatient services with evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and trauma-related counseling. Clients with co-occurring disorders receive integrated mental health care, including psychiatric consultations and medication management.

Strong Alumni Base

Alumni can access aftercare groups to help navigate life after treatment—reuniting with family, seeking work, managing finances, and staying connected to recovery networks. The facility integrates 12-Step fellowship connections, encouraging clients to maintain a peer recovery foundation. Alumni often return as mentors or participants in group events, helping sustain a strong community of accountability and hope.

Community Environment

The large, community-based environment welcomes men, women, and parents with children, offering on-site childcare and designated family spaces that make treatment possible without family separation. Clients have daily routines that include exercise, group sessions, and community meals prepared by an in-house chef. Outdoor recreation and access to nearby parks offer opportunities for physical activity and reflection.

Client Reviews

Feedback over time reflects both long-standing gratitude and recent challenges with treatment. Many former clients describe the program as transformative and life-changing, while others note that consistency and communication have not always matched the facility’s earlier reputation.

• Staff & Care Experience (65% positive): Many clients credit the counselors and peers with helping them rebuild their lives, describing staff as caring and deeply dedicated to recovery. Some, however, say that the culture can feel inconsistent—at times supportive, at other times strict or dismissive depending on who is on duty. “The staff changed my life—they believed in me when I couldn’t.”
• Treatment Quality & Outcomes (75% positive): Alumni frequently share long-term success stories, often noting years of sustained sobriety and personal growth after completing the program. A smaller group reports that uneven follow-through or lack of mental health support limited their progress. “I’m still sober years later because of this place.”
• Facility & Environment (55% positive): Reviewers describe a structured, community-based setting that helped them focus on recovery. Others felt the rules were overly rigid, with some calling the environment punitive rather than therapeutic.
• Access & Process (45% positive): Several clients appreciated smooth admissions and supportive alumni outreach, while others cited unclear visitation rules, inconsistent communication, or challenges reaching staff when issues arose.
• Support & Community (70% positive): Many reviews highlight the peer network and sense of belonging fostered during treatment—especially in alumni programs that continue after discharge. Some clients, though, felt that this sense of unity depended heavily on individual staff leadership at the time.
