Report
I am a psychiatrist who has had the opportunity to refer clients to the Camden Center. It offers a treatment program for addiction that should be the gold standard in addiction care everywhere. It offers a humanizing approach that abandons shame and blame, instead focusing on the strength and value of each client. It moves far beyond the standard "people, places, and things" approach with a unique focus on emotional triggers.
Clients return to my care with a treatment plan that extends well beyond the first months of early recovery - with a roadmap to emotional healing that aims to cure addiction

CAMDEN - which is the program name for the individual therapists and psychiatrist who make this program the salvation that it is. The therapists are the best of the best. They truly accept you with no judgment, meet you where you are, and will bend over backwards to adjust your program/sessions to make your individual and group sessions what you need them to be. Whether you are dealing with addiction and/or major depression, Camden is the place to be. I am grateful for everyone at the program, the honest people who attend and support you, and the kind, professional & exceptional therapists

I was a patient at the Camden Center for treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction issues. Before going to the Camden Center, I had been sober for 6 years but relapsed after my mother died. After her death the depression and anxiety became so unbearable I stopped being able to work, I pulled away from my friends and I eventually relapsed. When I got sober the first time 6 years ago, my treatment just focused on the addiction and did not address the issues underneath my depression and anxiety which came roaring back when my mom died. My experience at the Camden Center was very different and

Quite honestly the Camden Center is far and away one of the best addiction and dual diagnosis treatment facilities in California. Not only does this place help you get sober, but they help you heal the emotional and psychological wounds that drive you toward drug and alcohol abuse, and set you on a path to true recovery. Everyone I interacted with including but not limited to Lindsey, Sarah, Jillian, Noah, Lisa, Dave, and Cat were exceptional. Last but not least Dr. Schiffman is an amazing human being who truly cares about all of his patients, and raises the bar when it comes to addiction medicine

As a clinician, I have referred many people to the Camden Center over the past few years. The care and consideration they give to every individual, regardless of whether they become clients or not, is remarkable. The clinical and administrative staff at Camden are kind, compassionate, tough, and amazing. They truly look beyond the diagnoses and see the individual person and tailor their treatment appropriately. They truly understand that addiction is a symptom of a larger issue that needs to be treated. In addition, I have had the opportunity to work directly with their founder, Dr Jason Schiffman
