Desert Palms Philosophy

Desert Palms is a licensed residential treatment facility in California, offering men and women behavioral health treatment for those suffering from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. We provide a full continuum of integrated care that includes detox, residential treatment, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). At Desert Palms, we treat addiction as a chronic illness, a disease as defined by ASAM as: “A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations.”

Testimonials

You have inspired me, and helped me learn who I am and who I can be when I put my mind to it. If you would have told me 68 days ago that I would leave from Desert Palms confident, independent and loving who I am, I would have thought you were crazy. You have taught me how to spread my wings and fly alone. I could have never done this without your help. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Mandee

If it was not for your firmness, patience and persistence, I would have walked out and made the worst mistake of my life. Staying here was ultimately the best decision I have ever made. I feel safe going back into the world and facing reality, as you have provided me with the self-confidence, the knowledge and the skills that I never knew I had. I feel I have been given a second chance and commend you for the work you do to save the lives of others as you have done with mine.
