Bridges to Recovery Beverly Hills

Been to a few inpatient facilities, and this one blew them all out of the water. They pair you with a primary therapist that fits your style, you also have a ancillary therapist that works with you. You meet with a Dr., a Psych, nutritionist, personal trainer, hypnotherapist, yoga instructor....the list goes on and on. The Groups will challenge you in ways you never thought possible. The best part......your fellow patients....I'm sorry, clients. Though only 6 beds those six humans come from all walks of life and will challenge you with different perspectives, different ideas....different ways of thinking. The house is AMAZING, your own private room in Beverly Hills. Tree lined streets, palm trees swaying, a pool, a hot tub, a movie theater!!!! The techs, often a low point of in-patient facilities, genuinly care and look out for you. They pick up on things you may be too inward focused to see and gently try and help. No tattlling, no cliques, no looking down on anyone no matter your position, age, or financial bracket. We are all there for healing, and a healing environment is what you find. You are allowed your phone and computer, which allows you to not be in a total bubble. Some facilities think this is a detriment.....I believe it allows for a happy medium. Re-entry into the real world is less of a shock when you are already dabbling your toes in it while in a safe space. I was in the darkest place in my life when I came here, I left the happiest, most centered, and peacefull I have been in nearly 18 years. It is AMAZING how much work can be done in just a few short weeks if you really put your mind, body and soul towards it. This was the most beautiful and helpful gift I have ever given myself. Bridges not only saved my life. It saved my soul. Pick up the 100 pound phone, make the call. These people are the best of the best. I can assure you; you won't regret it

This is the best Mental health focused residential I’ve been to! The clinical team is exceptional. Each very knowledgeable and passionate. There is an equal focus on individual and group therapy. Which most residential do not have. Bridges is very inclusive to any mental health diagnosis. Even the ones which are more stigmatized. They are very focused an individual care. Not just going off the books but what is truly best for the individual. The whole team is caring from techs, and nursing, to the clinical team and contractors. There is the added benefit where I don’t feel like I’m on lockdown compared to other places. I have freedom to use technology, and minimal restrictions compared to most residential treatment centers. I recommend this place for anyone but especially for people who have more stigmatized diagnoses.

Coming to Bridges to Recovery was the most empowering decision I made for myself after losing my son, as they guided me through the grief process and helped me find strength in my journey, rather than getting stuck in planning. This incredible haven isn’t just about overcoming substance abuse, but about embracing holistic wellness and tackling any mental health challenges that come our way. The compassionate staff make you feel like you’re home.

Hi as ms kaviani client I found her really professional with a lot of emphaty Latifah

Positives: Some individual staff members are genuinely caring, particularly the frontline techs who work hard with limited resources. The facility is physically comfortable and the grounds are pleasant. Serious Concerns: Inappropriate Acuity Match: This facility markets itself as serving complex psychiatric cases but primarily serves clients with relationship issues and life transitions. If you require intensive psychiatric care, you'll feel isolated and unsupported. The programming isn't designed for high-acuity patients despite the premium pricing. The therapists are also not trained for high acuity. While I loved working with some of them, most were just or are just getting licensed. Another client had requested a therapist change due to lack of fit and it took them 2 weeks to change her therapist, essentially wasting her time in treatment. Even down to the discharge paperwork, they couldn't even help me with recommending appropriate aftercare. Privacy Issues: At $150,000+ for 90 days, I was kept in shared rooms for the entire stay with only 4 nights alone. Constant roommate presence for three months made nervous system regulation impossible and contributed to deterioration rather than healing. Inadequate Clinical Coverage: When I experienced medication side effects requiring immediate attention, no clinician was available. The staff did not facilitate urgent appointments despite clear need. This isn't occasional - it's systemic understaffing. Poor Medical Coordination: Despite promises of comprehensive care coordination, I had to manage my own insurance authorization processes across multiple specialists. When staff witnessed me in complete breakdown during required insurance calls, they offered only passive presence rather than active advocacy. Other patients have also expressed frustration with FMLA paperwork completion. Patients schedule their own doctor appointments by policy, and my medical needs were neglected throughout my time. Bottom Line: If you have moderate issues and can afford luxury pricing, this might work. If you have complex psychiatric needs requiring intensive support, look elsewhere. The gap between marketing promises and actual service delivery is significant. I filed licensing complaints that are currently under investigation. Would not recommend for severe/complex cases despite their marketing suggesting they specialize in exactly that population.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I came to Bridges not thinking I could be helped. My OCD, PTSD, and depression were immobilizing. After a month, I am generally symptom-free and have access to more of myself. This is a wonderful place! If you are struggling with mental health, this is the place to go. Period.

Bridges is a wonderful treatment center! If you are considering going to one or recommending one to your patient, I'd highly consider Bridges. This center has top-notch care that you won't be able to find anywhere else. Staying in a house as opposed to a facility, makes clients feel nurtured and comfortable. Groups are also smaller, which allows for more exposure time and friendships formed. The two houses can only hold 6 patients at a time each. The patients build relationship and trust with those around them and have 24/7 support. This center offers a variety of modalities and activities to heal and grow. Patients also spend more time here seeing a 1 on 1 therapist than other sites. Plus the food is amazing!!

They called the cops on me when I wanted to leave their facility and they had me 51/50 for no reason. If you want the full story lmk.
