The Salvation Army Bakersfield Adult Rehabilitation Center

The Salvation Army Bakersfield Adult Rehabilitation Center is a residential rehab center in Bakersfield, California. It takes adult men and women who need an intensive setting after detox or for other reasons.

Work Therapy and Life Skills Classes

The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Center program runs 180 days and includes housing and meals. It covers work therapy, group and individual counseling, and life skills classes. Worship services and counseling that utilizes the Bible are part of the treatment program.

A job, a lease or a routine at home are considerations when choosing between 180 days of inpatient rehab or outpatient services.

Therapy Provided by the Community and Thrift Store

Intake runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Saturday which provides flexibility for those with weekday work schedules.

Salvation Army thrift store revenue and community donations fund the program so participants generally don't pay anything and insurance isn't necessary. Staff decide whether the program can address an applicant's needs before anyone starts.

Work therapy and learned social skills that are built here provide employment and a renewed way to mend family relationships after treatment. This is something that will benefit clients for the rest of their lives.
