For someone with such experience and expertise, she's extremely down-to-earth and approachable. I came to Dr. Vause at a time of change in my life (at work, with family, and in my relationships), and my stress was surging. My depression and anxiety levels were becoming hard to manage, and I was turning to drugs and alcohol to cope. Dr. Vause helped me get through it. In addition to counseling, she guided me through some challenging but needed adjustments to my medication regimen. Every med suggestion was explained clearly, Dr. Vause answered all of my questions, and I knew what to expect in terms of effects and side-effects. I never felt as if pills were just being pushed my way; she really wanted me to participate in my own treatment and understand her reasoning. In addition to the excellent medication recommendations and adjustments, she is a wonderful therapist. Since seeing her, I have felt much better, and have experienced real improvements in my life. Her combination of innate sensitivity, compassion, and deep medical expertise is quite rare. I feel completely comfortable and secure in this relationship, and am fortunate to have found this exceptional doctor. I know I am cared for as a whole person, not just a bundle of problems, and there's nothing I hesitate to talk to Dr. Vause about. Having her in my life is itself therapeutic and a source of strength for me. Thank you Dr. Vause!

I felt like I was in good hands from the moment I arrived and The Dr came into see me at 7am personally .I can't say enough praises about the Dr there..

Their staff, counselors, Clinicians are amazing and will do whatever then can to help your loved one out. The COO has even stepped in to help and assist my family in whatever way when we have asked with no hesitation. The level of commitment they show the family is none that I have ever seen before. Not once in this journey of rehab, IOP and then sober living did I or my family member not feel heard, loved cared for and NEVER FELT ALONE!!!. As stressful as this has been having this team of dedicated people in our corner has been a sense of calming and relief. They also have been fantastic with setting up discharge plans and care after my loved one leaves them; they truly are trying to make sure that when my family member returns home that they have all the success possible to maintain their sobriety. This was the best decision my family ever made. I have made lifelong contacts, connections and friends that I know will also help when called upon. I thank this team for all their help and strongly recommend anyone looking for help to make the CALL!!!!!

They have an ant problem in the rooms and rodent issues (not sure if this is just a LA thing cause I've seen this issue at other facilities). I only liked the groups and the food. The techs are kinda helpful or I'll say Johnny and Egla are helpful. Bobby is the worst! So pretentious and sarcastic and doesn't do anything! Javi is.. Javi. Oh, Alex is good too. Late night staff is lazy. The nurse is helpful and actually listened to my needs and what I needed. The "case manager" or should I call her Christian Crystal.. she is so useless. All she does is force her religious beliefs on you. She is always stressed and acts like you asking her a question or needing help is an issue. Getting help from her or Katrina is like waiting in line at the DMV AKA YOU ARE ALWAYS WAITING. Katrina is their so called therapist who I wonder is even licensed. Her advice is underwhelming. I got more from my peers and facilitators than her. Also the care from Katrina and Crystal just feels very manipulative. They get mad at you when you don't do what they want and give you the silent treatment. They love to throw words around like "I care about you" "I love you" "this is a special place". Every time you ask something you get told "Sam said no" or "Let me talk to Sam first". Is Sam freaking god?! Oh and don't let you feel sick and ask to miss group! If you don't feel good they threaten you with going to the ER. You have headache? Go to the ER. A lot of things don't make sense here. There is a lot of special treatment to favorite house members. Also we caught staff members talking about us multiple times. All these people do is gossip around the house. I thank the staff and facilitators that helped me only.

I'll just leave this poem here you guys can get the gist of it…read moreThey told me 20 minutes before I was supposed to get into an Uber. And all the things they told me why I couldn't come. They let me in before this is a dual diagnose. I have a drug and a emotional problem. And they know and it's grief it went to someone's desk and they specifically said no. 20 minutes before I even supposed to get into this Uber. I'm rejected and now I'm at home and let's hope fentanyl or something doesn't take me out. The Weight of Compassion I've seen it all in recovery's fight, how we forget the pain our of the darkest night. We think we're better, we think we've won, but who are we to turn away anyone? Addiction can be combative, angry, afraid, and sometimes it feels like they lost they're way. "F you" or "go f yourself " sometimes is the best thing I can ever hear Because It shows me they're ready to fight for their life , but they're still stuck in fear! But every day is a new chance, a fresh start, even if they fall, we still have heart. We think we're strong because we've come this far, but what's strength if we forget who we are? Were weren't born in pain, or in love that was lost? So we can find our strength again and take it back at all costs! It doesn't matter if you were born rich or born not so lucky But fuck it what is money?power? Recovery if we still live in shame! But the point's not where we've come from or been, it's knowing we're human, we all have our own sin. Remember the day All we needed was someone to say, "Here's my hand, let me help you find your way." I worked in recovery, helped people stand, But trust me I've seen some fall and die It's shit i'll never comprehend. my mom always said, " I don't care if they've been here once or 100 times" let them in because you never know when the miracle will happen. WE WILL never turned anyone away no matter where they've been! I believe in divine intervention! That's why I have integrity and good intentions! It's not about days, not about the using streak-- It's about the  love and compassion, when it's help that they seek. Addiction has a grip on my boyfriend , and a lot of my friends and sometimes it feels like there's no end. But I'll never turn away, no matter how much they've fallen, because I know the pain of being forgotten. So If they need help, be here to stand, whether they stumbled or just need a hand. For profit isn't worth the price we pay, when lives are at stake, kiss my ass, we don't ever walk away. No matter your past, no matter your flaws, you're still worth the fight, still worth the cause. I'll never let you drown in the deep, because compassion's a promise I'll always keep. So the people that turned me away I say f you in the nicest way.!

Dr. Armin Arasheban is an old-school doctor in the best sense of the word. He seems to take care of…read moreeach patient as though they were a member of his own family--proactive, thoughtful, and always putting the person first. I've never met Dr. Arasheban personally, but I've been a physician for over 10 years and have encountered many patients who have him as their doctor. What has always stood out to me is how consistently they speak about him with a level of appreciation and trust that goes beyond simply being satisfied with their medical care. That kind of relationship between a physician and patient is increasingly rare. The impression I've gotten over the years is of a doctor who genuinely cares about his patients and takes personal responsibility for helping them navigate their health. That deserves recognition.

I have been a patient of Dr. Armin S. Arasheben for approximately five years. When I first became…read morehis patient, I was very satisfied with his care. He was attentive, professional, followed up on my lab results, and made sure important primary-care matters were addressed. Unfortunately, my experience with the practice has gradually changed significantly. Over time, the office appears to have shifted away from the level of personal and professional medical care I initially received. Much of my care has been handled by nurse practitioners, and I have had several experiences that raised serious concerns for me regarding attention to detail and professionalism. On multiple occasions, incorrect prescriptions were sent to my pharmacy, and I was the one who noticed the errors. When I brought one of these incidents to Dr. Arasheben's attention, I did not feel that my concern was taken seriously or adequately addressed. Initially, I treated it as an isolated mistake, but over time I experienced additional issues that caused me to lose confidence in the practice. Most recently, when I asked about my overdue annual physical, I was told that it was my responsibility to keep track of when my annual examinations were due. When I expressed my dissatisfaction with the level of care, I was essentially told that if I was unhappy, I could find another primary-care physician. After being a patient for five years, this was extremely disappointing. In my experience, the practice today feels much more focused on running and expanding a business than providing the attentive, disciplined primary care that I received when I first became a patient. Based on my recent experiences, particularly the repeated prescription errors and the response to my concerns, I can no longer recommend this practice as a primary-care provider.
