Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Patients who undergo intensive outpatient treatment continue to live at home and sometimes go to school or work while participating in a highly structured treatment protocol that is focused on ending substance abuse. Programs vary in terms of how much treatment patients receive, how often and for how long. Some facilities design individualized intensive outpatient treatment programs.Residential Treatment
Residential treatment programs provide housing (food and meals) in addition to treatment for substance abuse. Some facilities offer only short-term residential treatment, some offer only long-term treatment and others offer both, ranging from a few days to many months, based on patient needs.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Clients admitted to the residential program receive a bio-psycho-social evaluation to develop their individualized treatment plan. Treatment modalities include individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and 12-step meetings. Exercise, yoga, and therapeutic outings are also core components of the curriculum.
Upon graduating from the residential program, clients may attend the partial hospitalization program (PHP), which is an outpatient modality available in just 18.5 percent of treatment facilities in California.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY
The majority of former clients polled by Rehabs.com to date (eight of out 13) gave Valley Recovery Center of California negative feedback. Common complaints included a lack of organization and one-on-one counseling, as well as unhelpful and disinterested staff. "This rehab didn't provide one on one counseling for the first two weeks I was there. Some of the staff was very helpful and nice. Unfortunately most didn't seem like they cared about you at all," wrote M.E. in a representative review.
However, one alum polled on specific metrics offered positive opinions, providing four- and five-star ratings for the facility's discharge planning, the staff's level of experience and training, and counseling options. "No judging, made me feel at home from day one," the alum wrote.
The rehab also fared poorly on secondary sites, earning an average rating of 2.1 out of five stars based on 19 Google reviews[1] and three out of five stars based on 28 Yelp reviews[2][3].
WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
Most of the loved ones, four out of five, surveyed by Rehabs.com to date gave the rehab negative feedback. Complaints included poor management, lack of staff, confusing billing practices, and a lack of communication. "The place is understaffed and the employees seem to be untrained and overwhelmed for this type of work. The services that were supposed to be provided for recovery were slim to none due to (again) the lack of staffing," wrote R.C.T. in a representative review.
However, one alum polled on specific metrics gave the facility more moderate feedback, offering four-star ratings for the facility's level of family participation, counseling options, and the likelihood they recommend the facility, though added: "I would like more group therapy."
