Gratitude Lodge Long Beach

Gratitude Lodge Long Beach is a detox and residential rehab on Chatwin Avenue, founded in 2018. It is one of 185 SAMHSA-listed drug and alcohol rehab centers in the Los Angeles area, so families have real choices. The center starts with medical detox, then moves into structured residential care, and refers people to outpatient programs and sober living homes when the stay ends. A family calling about a bed is usually asking about the front end of care, not a months-long placement.

Care here addresses substance use together with mental health conditions that occur at the same time. Anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or post-traumatic stress that goes untreated often underlies heavy drinking or drug use. This dual diagnosis treatment in Long Beach combines one-on-one counseling, group work and Twelve Step practice, and according to the center, each person gets an individual plan rather than being pushed through a single track.

Families often ask whether a program this small can handle a complicated case. With 2-5 beds, Gratitude Lodge is genuinely small, which can mean more attention and less anonymity. It can also mean limited space and a wait. If your relative needs medical stabilization for alcohol or benzodiazepines, then ask directly who provides that oversight and how quickly a bed opens.

Ask about levels of care first. Detox alone does not treat the disorder underneath, and roughly 30 days in residence is a start, not the end. Our helpline connects you with trained advisors who can weigh SAMHSA-listed programs serving Los Angeles and verify what a given center really provides. Calling is private, costs nothing, and does not commit anyone to treatment.

Gratitude Lodge Long Beach programs

Gratitude Lodge Long Beach lists detox as its care option, offered in a residential setting with medical involvement across a typical program duration of approximately 30 days. The center uses cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, art therapy, experiential therapy and mindfulness work, along with aromatherapy, animal therapy, medication-assisted treatment and individual counseling. Twelve Step participation goes alongside the clinical work.

Medication-assisted treatment counts more for certain substances than for others. If your family member drinks heavily or uses benzodiazepines, then clinical supervision should guide withdrawal, since quitting alcohol and benzodiazepines can become hazardous, seizures included. Ask what medications the center uses, for whom, and what happens if someone arrives already in withdrawal. The same caution applies to anyone who has been through withdrawal before.

Paying at Gratitude Lodge Long Beach

Gratitude Lodge Long Beach lists private-pay rates, and cost questions should go to the center directly, since this guide does not publish or estimate prices. If you plan to use insurance, then verification has to happen by phone before anything is promised, because in-network status and authorization rules change by plan and by year. California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers some substance use treatment, but whether it applies at a private residential center depends on the center's enrollment. Ask about the Joint Commission accreditation the center holds and request the summary of benefits in writing.
