Cedar House Life Change Center provides withdrawal management, residential treatment, perinatal treatment, sober house living, co-occurring addiction mental health treatment, and outpatient recovery programs in the Bloomington, CA area.
The 2nd worst experience I have had with a treatment provider in over 10 years in the field. They missed a medical appointment and failed to notify me as an emergency contact of discharge. The lower level were extremely rude and unprofessional. I do not recommend sending a loved one to the facility. The is the second negative outcome I've experienced dealing with Cedar house. Both the men's and women's center seem to be impacted by a lack of regard for client safety and recovery.
