Established in 1962, the Gooden Center has numerous years of experience treating addiction and mental health conditions. Mental health treatment at the Gooden Center in Southern, California is delivered through either residential treatment or intensive outpatient care (IOP) with multiple options for aftercare and on-going support. Residential treatment takes place throughout Southern California in cozy, gender-specific housing. Both residential and intensive outpatient programs last 90 days and can include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), exercise therapy, nutritional programs, and more. The Gooden drug and alcohol program also offers residential care, intensive outpatient (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), and sober living homes. Treatment is similar to that of the mental health facility and is holistic. Clients will have the opportunity to engage in individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling along with 12-Step facilitation and meditation. The Gooden Center is CARF accredited and accepts most private insurance.

Recovery Care Offered

Residential

Residential programs for substance use and mental health with structured care and 24/7 monitoring. Treatment takes place on-site, with behavioral health professionals often providing care in group, individual, and family settings.

Day Treatment

In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.

Intensive Outpatient Program

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.

Outpatient

Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.

Licensed Primary Mental Health

Some primary care providers offer mental health diagnosis and treatment. This can prevent patients from developing more serious conditions.

Co-Occurring Disorders

Substance use and mental health can occur simultaneously as co-occurring disorders. Treatment for co-occurring disorders involves therapy and other personalized interventions to address both conditions.

I just completed 120 days in detox and recovery, and I’m incredibly grateful for every single person I met along the way. This journey showed me that alcoholism is a real disease, and recovery isn’t something we can always do alone. With the right help, healing is possible. I want to thank the Gooden Center and all the organizations, staff, and people who supported me during the hardest time of my life. Because of you, I was able to get my life back—stronger and better than when I left. I became part of a brotherhood of men uplifting each other. This new lifestyle, the bonds I created with the staff, and the constant support I received are things I will always cherish in my heart. Thank you all for giving me my life back. ❤️

I am not satisfied with the care I received at this facility. The nurses did not provide medications while following proper hygiene standards. Additionally, the psychologist did not listen to me or take my concerns seriously.

My time at the Gooden Center was life-changing. It wasn’t perfect - no where is. But in my experience with my own mental health journey and having helped an ex-partner through their path to sobriety I can say this facility was far more compassionate and patient-focused than any other I met with. The focus was on mental wellbeing and not solely sobriety. The seemed to tailor their approach to the individual. Meals were decent, accommodations were not 4-star but it isn’t a vacation.

Pts are incredible working tirelessly! However, the psychiatry Dept Greg is lacking all the way around, I was there for 1.5 months and saw the resident psychiatrist a total of 3x, where as he went on leave/vacation on 2 separate occasions for 1 week each 14 days costing my insurance company $750x14=$10,500.00 ta da!!!!!! Something’s not right here! So I’m out!

I went to La Crescenta. I often think about the time I spent there and sometimes wish I could go back. I loved my time there. Staff was friendly, the therapist was great, food was okay, and I benefited from having some structure in my day. It changed my life and I could not recommend it enough.
