Welcome to All In Solutions California! We are delighted to guide you through a comprehensive overview of our exceptional treatment programs and provide you with a glimpse into the transformative journey that awaits you.

Clinical Building Tour

Step inside our Simi Valley clinical building and you’ll see why many clients call it their home base for healing. This is where the heart of the program happens—where clients engage in daily group therapy, one-on-one counseling sessions, life skills training, and evidence-based treatments tailored to their journey. The space is comfortably furnished and thoughtfully designed to support focus, connection, and calm. Whether you’re processing tough emotions or gaining new tools for life in recovery, the environment helps you stay grounded and present.

Between sessions, clients have room to breathe. The building offers both indoor and outdoor areas for reflection, conversation, or simply taking a moment to rest. With spacious group rooms, cozy lounge areas, and quiet corners, there’s space for every part of the process. Clients who stay in our sober living homes are transported to and from the clinical building daily by our dedicated staff—so whether you’re living onsite or commuting, everything runs smoothly. This isn’t just a treatment center—it’s a place where healing feels possible.

Sober Living Tour

For those seeking a deeper level of immersion in their recovery journey, All In Solutions offers gender-specific sober living homes just minutes from the clinical building. These homes are thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and accountability—offering a safe, supportive environment where clients can focus on healing, build lasting connections, and develop healthy routines. While local clients are welcome to commute from home, many find that living alongside others on the same path creates a strong sense of community and shared purpose.

Each day, our staff provides transportation to and from the clinical building, as well as trips to grocery stores, meetings, and medical appointments—so clients can stay focused on recovery without the stress of logistics. Outside clinical hours, clients enjoy some personal freedom, but structure remains key. Curfews, behavioral expectations, and regular check-ins are all part of the commitment to creating a space where growth is not only possible—but expected.

PHP & IOP Clinical Schedules

Typical Weekly Schedule

At All In Solutions California, our clinical program is built to do more than help clients get sober—it’s designed to help them heal, grow, and thrive. With a day-to-day structure that blends evidence-based therapies, trauma-informed care, 12-step principles, and mental health support, we meet clients where they are and walk with them every step of the way. Each element of the program is intentionally crafted to support not just recovery, but transformation.

Clients participate in a variety of therapeutic groups and individual sessions throughout the week, with core clinical practices rooted in proven modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through CBT, clients learn how to identify the thought patterns and behaviors that fuel substance use and, more importantly, how to shift them. This work creates the groundwork for better coping, more self-awareness, and long-term change.

We also integrate the time-tested principles of 12-step recovery, offering structure, accountability, and the power of shared experience. Clients are encouraged to engage with meetings, step work, and community building as a vital part of their personal recovery process.

Because we understand the deep connection between mental health and addiction, our program includes groups focused on emotional regulation, self-esteem, anger management, and stress reduction. And for those carrying the weight of past trauma, our compassionate, licensed therapists use trauma-focused techniques to help clients process what they’ve been through in a safe, supportive space—because healing the past is often key to building a better future.

Finally, we recognize that recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. Our online family program, led by Dr. Alexandra Foglia, gives loved ones the opportunity to do their own healing work, explore boundary-setting, and begin to repair relationships that may have been strained by addiction.

While the weekly schedule clearly outlines what to expect, our clinical program is always evolving, growing with the latest research, client feedback, and best practices in the field. We’re not just helping people get sober—we’re helping them rebuild their lives.

Common Questions from New Clients & Families

How Long is the Program?

The PHP program is generally 21-28 days (3-4 weeks), but may be adjusted according to a client’s needs. Once a client completes PHP, they can continue their care at the IOP level. Clients can attend IOP for several weeks to several months. The average length of stay from start to finish at All In Solutions California is 30-60 days.

Can I Have My Phone and Computer?

Yes, clients are permitted to have their cell phones and laptops at All In Solutions California. Please note that cell phones and laptops are not permitted at the inpatient level of care (All In Solutions Detox Simi Valley).

Can Family Visit Me?

Yes, family visitation is allowed, but must be approved by the client’s primary therapist. At All In Solutions, we emphasize the importance of family dynamics in both addiction and recovery. As such, our therapists try to keep family involved throughout the process. In addition, there is a weekly online “family group” that is hosted by our clinical team – family members of current or past clients are welcome to attend.

Will I Have a Private Room?

While some houses do have single rooms, most rooms are semi-private (2 clients per room). Fluctuations to the census could result in more private rooms becoming available, but typically most clients will have a roommate for the majority of their stay.

How Much Freedom Do Clients Have?

At the PHP level of care, clients have 3 hours per day (4 pm to 7 pm) to do as they please. At the IOP level of care, clients have a 10 pm curfew and are free to do as they please outside of clinical hours.

Alumni Testimonials

While we hope the information above has been helpful, perhaps the best way to learn about the client experience at All In Solutions is by asking former clients (alumni).

This was my first time in inpatient treatment at 50 years of age. I can't personally compare AIS to other facilities, but I can say that my experience was 100% top notch. I would recommend AIS CA to anyone seeking a change in their life. I am truly grateful to the whole team that have helped me in my recovery journey. They provided me with the education and tools needed for me to stay sober 24 hours a day. The staff at AIS have also warned me about the challenges that can and will arise when living in society, and all the possible triggers that could lure me back into the darkness that I had just left. It's still up to me to stay sober one day at a time and with the recent help from AIS my journey will be much more attainable. Every staff member has helped me in some way for success in my recovery, but I want to give an extra special thanks to my counselor Silvia Garcia for letting me speak to her from the heart, and listening to me when I'd get off subject and start rambling about who knows what. She helped me put my thoughts into perspective and guided me to process the current and ponder the future to keep myself living a healthy sober lifestyle. Basically, AIS is the best split decision I have ever made in my life. I owe them my life. Thank you All In Solutions for giving me my life back. You ALL ROCK! ❤️
Had a great experience while at AIS during my 2 months in their program. I had Jason as my counselor because I requested him since he was to the point and would call me out if I was slacking, which is what I personally needed. Almost all of of the group facilitators I had a great experience and relationship with, everyone was genuine and caring and gave me great advice and a safe place to talk about things I would usually never share. The relationships I made their and with the other men and women going through the program are some of my greatest friends I’ve had in years. I’m at a new facility now and housing and the program I am in now was is not as helpful as what I found at AIS California. I felt like I was actually cared about and had a personal treatment plan set up that worked for my needs. At the male house the house staff were some great men who have been through their past troubles and recovered too, I found great friends and mentors there especially my guy Marc.
Exceptional quality treatment and care! My time at All In Solutions was wonderful. I was scared to seek professional help, but beyond grateful that I finally did and more so that I chose this place. They truly exceeded my expectations. From great staff to amazing counselors and therapists. The director is super friendly and approachable; she always took my concerns seriously. To say the chef provides the most delicious meals is an understatement. The house I stayed in was very nice, and always clean. Great environment overall. This truly was an unforgettable experience. Thank you AIS for everything you have done for me!!!!
All In Solutions has really saved my life. I flew across the country to be at this treatment center and it’s the best decision I ever made. I had the pleasure of having Jason as my counselor and from the minute I met him he had already studied my file and knew all about me, I’ve never had a counselor that actually cares about his clients before this. AIS helped me grow my tool box, have fun in sobriety, learn how to talk to people in correct manner, and they taught us all about the 12 steps of recovery which I thought was a game changer- I’ve never been to a treatment center that has brought up anything about the 12 steps before. Basically they get you ready for the real world and teach you that it’s ok to not be okay sometimes. Every single staff member I grew close to were all so down to earth and made sure the clients felt safe and comfortable with opening up and sharing with the group. Zee, Dana, Almira, & Jason helped shape me into the woman I am today and there’s not enough gratitude in the world to thank everyone there for my clean time. Highly recommend if you’re struggling with addiction. It works if you work it, so work it cause you’re worth it 🩵🙏🏼
I want to thank the amazing staff at AIS without whom I would have not have become the successful recovering alcohol I have. I can’t thank Deb,Dana,Jason.almeira, Silvia and my amazing counselor Hebsizbeth enough for their love and support. I do want to point out that Jen in HR is truly useless and even with video proof allowed two of the house staff, Heather and Barbie, steal my personal belonging and hide it (all on video) and continue to bully me on their every shift without doing a single thing to help me even after I pled with her to help me, gave her a short timeframe to watch video and left me to be continuously bullied. Most useless HR person I have ever met and as a Director of Operations for a 2500 person firm, I have met many. Thank you to all the amazing staff at AIS for all of the education. What a wonderful program!
