Nuestra Casa Recovery Home
Residential Program
Nuestra Casa was founded in 1977 as an inpatient alcohol treatment facility for adult Spanish speaking males. The program quickly expanded from an original 6 bed facility to 10 beds, then in 2017 to the current 12 bed capacity. Today the program is licensed and certified by the State of California to provide both alcohol and drug abuse treatment. We are very pleased to inform you that we obtained certification in the Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) program.
