 The Choices Program Model is designed with the belief that the greatest positive recovery outcomes are best implemented through extended care periods utilizing multiple treatment modalities all driven by client-initiated action.
This comprehensive approach was developed simultaneously with the establishment of Choices as a recovery community. Beautiful men’s and women's recovery homes are utilized by all Choices programs. These include Treatment, Residential Recovery Facilities, Work Programs, Outreach Programs, Art, Animal Assisted Activities, Gardening, Educational Experiences, Emotional Development Activities, Therapy, Groups, and many other components. Our homes are located in Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Santa Ana-Orange County. Thousands of individuals have participated in our Drug and Alcohol Treatment/Mental Health Rehabilitation Program over the past five years.
