About us
Through its all-inclusive treatment programs, Social Model Recovery Systems, Inc., a nonprofit organization, addresses mental health issues and drug use disorders. One of its locations, River Community Covina in Covina, California, offers individuals with dual diagnosis specialized treatment. This clinic serves people with co-occurring mental health illnesses such as mania, depression, schizophrenia, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders in addition to drug abuse problems.
The therapy strategy at River Community Covina is designed to be adaptable and sensitive to the demands of each patient. For those who continue to play significant roles in their society, the half day treatment program is a well-rounded choice. Participants in this program may attend job, school, or spend time with their families while still getting organized evening assistance for their recovery. With a flexible timetable that accommodates life’s duties, it offers a thorough approach to dealing with particular problems without fully abandoning daily obligations.
Six days a week, daylong therapy sessions are offered as part of the outpatient services for those who choose a more intense approach. These programs provide an organized setting with social and recreational activities, individual and group counseling, and tailored therapeutic treatments. For those who need ongoing help and direction to manage their mental health and drug use issues, this arrangement is perfect.
The focus placed by Social Model Recovery Systems on a social model approachโin which recovery is seen as a group endeavorโis one of its distinctive features. The group creates a friendly and encouraging atmosphere where employees and participants work together to create a strong community. This group dynamic strengthens each person’s road to recovery by enabling them to gain from mutual support, experiences that they have in common, and the group’s collective knowledge. Each participant’s responsibility goes beyond their own recovery process since they are urged to set a good example for others and improve the wellbeing of those around them.
Social Model Recovery Systems’ goal goes beyond its treatment programs to the heart of Los Angeles, namely in the Central City East neighborhood, sometimes referred to as Skid Row. In order to include the most vulnerable groups, the organization runs a community-based alcohol and drug prevention program here. By pushing for more extensive social change and providing immediate assistance to people in need, the program aims to address structural problems and socioeconomic inequalities that have an influence on the community’s health and safety.
Through its cutting-edge approach to addiction and mental health recovery, Social Model Recovery Systems has helped thousands of people alter their lives since its founding in 1986. The organization is a pillar of the community, offering hope and a way ahead to those facing the most difficult situations in life because of its dedication to fostering a secure, compassionate, and welcoming atmosphere.
Licensed as a 501(c)3 charity in California, Social Model Recovery Systems offers services at many sites around Los Angeles County. It has gained recognition for its evidence-based procedures and all-encompassing healing techniques, which guarantee that every patient gets the best treatment possible that is customized to their particular circumstances. The organization’s many glowing testimonials from past clients, who highlight the helpful environment, devoted personnel, and successful programs that aided in their path toward long-lasting recovery, further demonstrate its dedication to quality and honesty.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
