About Behavioral Health Services
Situated along the Pacific Coast Highway, the Long Beach Family Recovery Center operates within Behavioral Health Services (BHS), a nonprofit organization founded in 1973. The center provides outpatient care for substance use and a Recovery Incentives Program to help people move forward in their recovery. Services are delivered on an outpatient basis and are shaped to fit each person’s circumstances. The focus includes relapse prevention and the use of practical recovery tools that can be applied in everyday routines. Treatment plans generally run from 3 to 9 months, with appointments scheduled 1 to 5 days per week based on individual requirements. The program supports Medi-Cal recipients with gift cards up to $599 for maintaining abstinence from stimulants, confirmed through negative drug test results. By offering clear, concrete rewards, it helps reinforce progress throughout the recovery process.
