Who We Are…
Substance Abuse Foundation is a supportive and caring recovery community with a unique home-like environment. Our non-profit organization has a long history of providing affordable, professional community-based drug and alcohol treatment for people of diverse backgrounds, and those with special needs. We value each individual, and our professional and experienced treatment staff designs each person’s treatment program to fit their needs and substance abuse history. Our wide array of Treatment Services include residential and outpatient care, supportive services, residential medically managed detoxification and aftercare. We also provide drug-and-alcohol-free housing for those who complete treatment and need additional time to rebuild their lives. Our treatment center is licensed and certified by the State of California, and we are nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for Residential and Outpatient Treatment and Community Housing for people seeking drug/alcohol rehabilitation, including those with a criminal justice history.

Our Mission and Values …
The mission of the Substance Abuse Foundation of Long Beach (SAF) is to provide treatment and supportive servicees for those seeking recovery from addiction. We provide individuals the opportunity to learn life changing skills to remain clean and sober.
Our emphasis is to provide assistance and treatment for the homeless, indigent, low-income and special-needs populations who are underserved. We ascribe to a philosophy of combining professional therapeutic interventions and education about the disease of drug/alcohol abuse with supportive 12-step program participation. The agency also believes that treatment services must individually address each participant’s drug/alcohol and other needs, as well as be sensitive to the cultural and linguistic needs of the individual. The agency also values peer supportive services in all its programs. The residential program incorporates the social model philosophy, where a friendly and supportive “family” environment is created and individuals each have a stake in the community’s therapeutic environment.
