Beit T’Shuvah – Los Angeles, California

For those with drug use problems, Beit T’Shuvah in Los Angeles, California, provides a caring and community-focused approach to treatment. This special institution integrates spiritual, emotional, and psychological care based on the Jewish ideals of compassion, honesty, and openness with personalized care and a “whole person” perspective. The Joint Commission’s accreditation attests to Beit T’Shuvah’s dedication to excellence.

Intervention, residential treatment, family programming, and prison diversion are among Beit T’Shuvah’s core offerings; each program is designed to help individuals recover from addiction in a comprehensive and long-lasting manner. The intervention programs provide people and families support in navigating drug use disorders and establishing recovery paths. Using a variety of intervention strategies, this may include thorough evaluations, treatment planning, and teaching family members about the mechanics of addiction in order to eventually provide hope and connection.

There are three stages to Beit T’Shuvah’s organized residential treatment program. During the first three months, clients are completely integrated into the community and receive psychiatric treatment for those with co-occurring disorders, as well as individual, group, and spiritual therapy. In order to create a feeling of rhythm and connection that is consistent with the program’s Jewish foundation, clients participate in Shabbat, celebrate festivals, and participate in 12-step programs like AA and NA. Clients are assisted in reintegrating into society gradually over the six-month extended care phase, and aftercare services are made available to them when their stay is over. Through regular Shabbat events and the active support of the larger Jewish community, alumni keep in touch.

Beit T’Shuvah provides work therapy, internships, and externships to help clients advance their careers by giving them the knowledge and expertise they need to find fulfilling job after their recovery. Additionally, Beit T’Shuvah’s family program fosters mutual development and understanding by including families in the healing process via education, mentorship, and therapy groups. Additionally, its prison diversion services enable drug use offenders attend rehabilitation programs rather of serving jail time, serving as an alternative to incarceration.

With the goal of “healing broken souls and saving lives,” Beit T’Shuvah aspires to a day when people are free from the shackles of addiction and live authentically, passionately, and with purpose. Since Beit T’Shuvah upholds its principles, no one is ever turned away for want of funds, guaranteeing that everyone looking for atonement and healing has the opportunity to change their life.
