Action Drug Rehabs - Bakersfield Outpatient Services

407 Helen Way , Bakersfield, California, 93307
Action Family Counseling is unique in that we have IN-NETWORK insurance contracts with nearly all major health plans. Often times Action’s treatment prices are covered at up to 80-100% by individual’s health plans. Out-of Network rehabs are mostly more expensive than treatment at In-Network rehab centers like Action. Our pricing structure is set up to be very competitive and to minimize the financial burden of families in need of treatment & rehabilitation for a loved ones’ alcohol and other drug usage. Please read on to learn more. We have a team of substance abuse experts on standby awaiting your call for help should you need to reach out anytime. Action Family Counseling employs a multidisciplinary approach to chemical dependency treatment, providing residential care, intensive outpatient services, and partial hospitalization to those struggling with addiction in Southern California. Action Family Counseling provides daily addiction education groups focusing on themes such as relapse prevention, addiction as a disease, personal relationship development, peer problem solving, behavioral triggers, and 12-Step principles. In addition to group work, clients are encouraged to attend individual counseling sessions to develop skills for independent living, personal growth, stress management, decision making, communication, and more. Loved ones are encouraged to assume an active role in individuals’ recovery by participating in family therapy sessions.

This rehab facility is a flop. Action is not capable of handling relapse, mental illness nor does the facility have access to securing the patients from outside drug dealers. Action allows patients to text, use cell phones while in treatment. Action, also, could not handle a mentally disturbed patient, they did not help her they called law enforcement to take her away and never contacted family that the patient was moved to another facility. In conjunction to family not knowing where Acrtion patient was they then threw out the patients jewelry and make up as their policy is a 72 hour hold on patients belongs if not claimed they throw it out. Well no one from Action contacted family that the patients make-up/jewelry case was still in Actions possession, as the patient did not know what Action sent over to new facility. So, Action gave away or threw out $7,500 worth of jewelry and make up with out ever contacting family that this was what was going to happen. I highly condone Action for rehab treatment and DO NOT recommend this facility for your loved ones treatment- they will not receive proper treatment and an enormous waste of money.
