About CRI Help Inc
At CRI Help, clients can receive residential care or outpatient services, along with detox for substance use and related mental health conditions, at its Pfleger Center in North Hollywood. Outpatient support ranges from 5 to 40 hours each week and includes day treatment, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient programs. In addition to services at the main site, CRI Help also provides outpatient care at a second North Hollywood location, where fundraising activities such as bingo games are held. The center works to keep treatment within reach by offering extended payment plans and accepting most major insurance plans.
The CRI Help Pfleger Center provides medically supervised detox, which often lasts one week or more depending on how intense withdrawal symptoms are. During treatment, clients may engage in cognitive behavioral therapy, medication management, group therapy, psychoeducation, meditation, and 12-Step facilitation. Group sessions cover topics such as life skills, goal setting, relapse prevention, trauma, and grief, and also include gender-specific groups. CRI Help additionally offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT), particularly to support recovery from alcohol and opioid use.
