Promises Treatment Centers - "Where Hope and Healing Begin"
Licensed Drug Rehab in California Offering People Who Need to Recover from Addiction the Chance to Succeed.
Thank you for visiting Promises Treatment Centers' website. We are currently updating and expanding our online information, so if you cannot easily find the answer to a question regarding our drug rehab, alcohol rehab and addiction treatment programs, please feel free to call and we will assist you personally. Our 24 hour admissions number is 866-783-4287 (toll free).
For nearly two decades, Promises has been a leader in the field of addiction treatment, and our alcoholism and drug treatment centers in (West) Los Angeles, CA, and Malibu, CA, offer you or your loved one some of the most highly personalized alcoholism treatment, drug rehab, and addiction recovery services anywhere in the world. We can also arrange alcohol or drug detox, many times at one of our facilities, with the same personalized care provided by one (or more) of our independent affiliates.
From Promises starting point in West Los Angeles, CA, nearly 20 years ago, to the hills of Malibu, CA, with 4 full-time Ph. D. level therapists, and 2 independent psychiatrists working directly with us, Promises has grown to become one of the most respected alcohol and drug treatment facilities in the world.
With a maximum of 18 residential treatment clients at each of our two facilities, one of the keys to Promises Treatment Centers success is our size. While many other alcohol and drug treatment facilities can accept more clients, Promises stays small in order to give each person individualized care and attention, so they get the chance they need.
Unlike most drug rehab centers Promises will not try to sell you on a 'high success rate' for drug rehabilitation, or attempt to fit you into a 'one-size-fits-all' alcohol recovery program, because our success comes through personalizing our drug treatment programs in the way we feel best fits your personal situation and needs. For instance, our programs are tailored to you, so we do not publish an online schedule at Promises.com, because with over 100 ancillary rehab program options for you to choose from we can work with you to help 'custom fit' our program to who you are, or who you decide to become.
Who comes to Promises for addiction treatment?
Those who want to get better.
Individuals who want to make life long changes.
People from all walks of life who will not settle for the 'easy fix' treatment methods offered by many other alcohol and drug treatment centers, because they know in the long run the 'easy fix' is usually only a temporary reprieve and not a life long change.
From the business executive who needs to change their life, not leave it, to a son or daughter who needs to 'check out' of their lifestyle for a while, and the friend or family member who just 'needs some help', Promises Treatment Centers can tailor our programs to fit you or a loved ones needs.
How personalized is Promises alcohol and drug treatment center?
At Promises, we pride ourselves on a personalized drug rehab experience, which is tailored to fit your circumstances, because although our drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are highly structured, other than breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and a few daily groups or meetings, we will try to accommodate you and your personal needs, as long as we do not compromise our integrity.
Need a specialized diet? No Problem, we have chefs on staff who will work to accommodate you.
Want to workout? We will get you to the gym, or in special cases we can find you personal trainer if we think one will be a long term benefit.
Don't like the gym or have back problems, but like to paint? We will do all we can, within our capacity, to find a way to accommodate you, as long as we believe our efforts and accommodations aid in your recovery.
Addiction treatment and drug rehab at Promises can be arranged from 30 to 90 days, and beyond.
Our alcohol treatment and California drug rehab programs include residential drug rehab, day treatment, outpatient treatment, or a combination of the three and can include extended care, plus alcohol and drug detox through our independent affiliates (if necessary) and since Promises has multiple levels of care and base programs for drug rehab, alcoholism and chemical dependency treatment, we can evaluate each level of your progress during recovery and then help you select the right level of care to fit you, your needs, and who you are, so we make certain we offer what we feel is the best chance for you to succeed.
In addition to alcohol and drug rehab, chemical dependency, and addiction treatment, Promises can also assist you with co-occurring disorders when your diagnosis is primarily alcoholism, substance abuse, or another form of chemical dependency, which may be compounded by secondary symptoms, such as depression, bipolar, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, eating disorders, and/or other compulsive disorders.
What sets Promises Treatment Centers apart from the rest?
Nearly 20 years of experience, our staff and independent affiliates...
Like Promises, many other alcohol and drug rehab facilities can claim 'home like comforts', 'high quality amenities', 'privacy', and 'stunning views'. Some addiction treatment centers may try to sell you on their 'high success rates', their 'one-on-one treatment method', their 'secluded location', or even their 'square footage'. They might be able to say they are 'bigger than Promises', they 'cost less', or they are 'more secluded'. What no other alcohol or drug treatment center can do is claim to have Promises staff, or the independent affiliates working directly with us, who are all committed to helping you.
Promises is an industry leader in the field of substance abuse treatment, drug rehab and alcoholism treatment with nearly 20 years experience. We have 2 independent psychiatrists working directly with us 40 hours per week, rather than multiple psychiatrists 'doing the rounds' as psychiatrists at many addiction treatment centers do, so, upon entering a Promises Treatment Center for either drug addiction or alcoholism, you receive a full assessment, and, in most cases, you will work with the same psychiatrist for the length of your treatment.
Following your initial assessment at Promises Treatment Centers, you will be assigned a 'core treatment team' which we match to your needs and includes a primary therapist, family therapist and, if necessary, drug and alcohol detox specialist(s), all of whom are either Promises staff or well qualified, licensed independent affiliates.
At Promises we know individual counseling sessions are important, so we employ 4 full-time, Ph. D. level therapists. This level of staffing allows us to provide you with one-on-one counseling sessions, and also enables your primary therapist to continue to counsel and coach you through our extended care program if you choose to stay with us beyond residential treatment.
Also, at Promises we believe building, rebuilding, or strengthening family relationships can aid in your recovery, so a number of our therapists specialize in family counseling. These specialists will not only work with you, but can also schedule counseling sessions with your family or loved ones to ensure they understand what you are going through and know how they can help give you the chance you need. Our specialists can even help you attempt to rebuild relationships which may have been damaged by addiction, and, if necessary, your family therapist can also work with you and the rest of our staff to help your family coordinate visits, even if your family or loved ones need special arrangements, or live out of state.
The talented chefs we employ allow Promises to prepare your food as either 'home style' or 'gourmet' (depending on location) and meet your specific needs (at either location), so whether you need to eat Kosher, vegetarian, Vegan, or have another specialized diet, we can, and will, accommodate you, as long as your request is within reason. We will also allow you to have cigarettes, drinks with caffeine, and request specific items from the store, so you can think of your visit to Promises as a time for you to change your life, not leave it.
Transportation does not need to be an issue. If you need us to, Promises transportation staff combined with our admissions coordinators will work together and arrange to pick you up from the airport, or at your door if you live nearby. (In some special cases we can pick you up at your door, even if you do not live in the area.) We can also arrange to get you back home when your stay with us is complete, or make other special travel arrangements to fit your specific circumstances and needs, because at Promises we are committed to giving you the chance to succeed.
Does your drug or alcohol rehab end when you leave Promises?
Only if you decide for it to...
With access to a world wide network of support groups and a diverse field of alumni, we will help you find the support you need after you graduate, whether you live in Malibu, CA, New York, NY, or any other part of the world.
Promises can, and will, help you coordinate your ongoing recovery by assisting you in finding groups, alumni sponsors, and/or other forms of support, which is included in planning before you leave, and again, tailored to fit your specific needs.
What type of drugs (substances) and addictions are treated by Promises?
Promises treats addiction to a variety of drugs and substances, including: Alcohol, Cocaine, Codeine, Heroin, Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Oxycodone, and many others.
What type of people have been helped by Promises?
People who have recovered from a life ruled by drugs and alcohol with the help of Promises include: Celebrities, business executives, grandparents, heads of state, college students, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, and many others.
Think Promises is a country club for the 'rich and famous' who 'pretend' to be in treatment?
Think again...
Contrary to some rumors, Promises is not a 'day spa', or 'country club', there is 'no fraternizing allowed', and 'no shopping at the mall', sorry, but even if you are rich or famous, you are not allowed to 'just run down to the beach'. Promises is a real life, highly personalized alcohol and drug addiction treatment center with nearly 20 years experience, a high commitment to excellence, and a strict adherence to our code of ethics, where our mission continues to be, 'To provide a gateway to sobriety and to aid in the achievement of lifetime dreams.'
Although Promises will do anything within our capacity we feel is necessary to accommodate addiction recovery, we will not compromise our integrity, because a compromise in what we believe is the right way to help does not do any good in the long-run, and above all else we are really here to try and help you or your loved one realize the life changes necessary for long term sobriety.
How much does it cost to attend a Promises Treatment Center?
It depends on your needs and situation...
Promises does not publish a 'one-size-fits-all' price, because Promises is not a 'one-size-fits-all' treatment center. The specific cost of attending a Promises Treatment Center depends on the level of care you need, which drug and alcohol treatment center you attend (Malibu, CA or (West) Los Angeles, CA), the specific drug rehab programs selected, intended length of stay, and a number of other factors, so we cannot determine exactly what your cost will be until we know exactly what you need.
When compared with other treatment centers offering a 'cheap & easy fix', or a 'one-size-fits-all' treatment curriculum, Promises might cost a little more, but, since no treatment center can guarantee success, and there is no 'special pill', or 'magic formula' which helps everyone recover, we feel it is important for you to evaluate the personalized level of care offered, along with the experience of each program you consider, because, we believe if you do not decide on the treatment center you feel offers you the best chance to succeed, regardless of price, there is a greater chance you will need to seek treatment again.
Feel free to ask each drug rehab or addiction treatment center you are considering questions, including:
When looking for the right treatment center watch out for the sales pitch.
A word to the wise...
Many drug rehabs, alcohol rehabs, and addiction treatment centers will try to sell you on their 'beautiful locations', their 'amenities & complete pampering', their 'high success rate', their 'house hold name', their 'low cost', and a multitude of other things.
Some treatment centers might even claim they have 'the cure' or state 'they know how to find the cure you have inside', but when you ask any treatment center making these claims, or using these sales pitches if they have ever had a client 'relapse', the answer will be 'yes' (if they are honest), so the reality is, there is no known 'cure' for addiction, and 'price', 'name', a 'beautiful location', or 'great amenities' alone will not help you recover.
What this means is, rather than finding the alcohol or drug treatment center with 'the cure', 'the most comforts', 'the best price', 'the most well known name', or 'the best location', we believe, when searching for addiction treatment you really need to find the treatment center you feel offers you 'the best chance to succeed'.
To us, this is the treatment center with the best combination of staff, programs and experience, applying knowledge gained through years of helping people by implementing tried and true techniques, while staying 'on-the-cutting-edge' of alcohol and drug rehabilitation to provide the highest quality addiction treatment in an effort to give people a chance.
Although Promises Treatment Centers stay on-the-cutting-edge of drug rehab, alcoholism and addiction treatment, and can make many boasts and claims, including a widely recognized name, mentions in the 'London Times', 'People' & 'Time' (magazines), a 'Tyra Banks Show' visit, personalized programs, one-on-one counseling sessions, a high value of your privacy, a world class facility in a beautiful location, flat-panel TVs, Internet connectivity, and many other 'home like' comforts in a 'real life' setting where, although you will not have to scrub floors or clean toilets, you might have to wash your own clothes, these points are not really our sales pitch.
What is Promises sales pitch?
Promises Treatment Centers have nearly 20 years of experience, the best staff, and the highest quality standards for addiction treatment.
