About Michael’s House Treatment Center

Providing Trusted, Evidence-Based
Treatment for Three Decades and Counting

If you or a loved one is experiencing addiction, we’re here to help.

When Arlene Rosen lost her son Michael to a drug overdose, she started a treatment center to help spare other families from the pain she experienced. Michael’s House opened in 1989 and has been serving patients and their families through comprehensive, integrated treatment for over three  decades.

Michael’s House is nationally recognized for providing integrated treatment for drug and alcohol addiction and co-occurring mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief/loss, personality disorders, and similar conditions. 

We are located at the foot of the towering San Jacinto mountain range in Palm Springs, California. Our modern, restorative facility provides security and privacy for patients seeking healing and recovery. Contact us at 760.548.4032 to learn how we can help you or a loved one.

Our Staff

Our program treats patients aged 18 and older in both residential and outpatient settings. The staff is specially trained in the Foundations Recovery Network treatment model to address the complex needs of individuals with co-occurring disorders and to treat the whole person in a comprehensive way.

We support patients with an integrated, multidisciplinary team. Primary therapists, consulting physicians, residential therapists, nurses, group leaders, and others are all part of a patient’s treatment team.

Dual Diagnosis

Mental disorders and addiction often go hand in hand. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), people diagnosed with a mood or anxiety disorder are twice as likely to struggle with addiction.

Unfortunately, people with both mental illnesses and addiction tend to slip through the cracks of the modern medical world and may not get the help they need. They may see their doctors for their medical condition and see addiction counselors for their addiction. However, until the two forms of therapy are united, the person is unlikely to see any real relief. 

Our Values

The purpose statement of Michael’s House and its parent company Foundations Recovery Network is to create lifetime relationships for long-term recovery

We Serve with Integrity

Our reputation is built on trust and honesty. We are thoughtful, intentional, and ethical in all our actions in order to have a lifelong, meaningful impact on those we serve.

We Empower People

People are the foundation of our organization. Our approach to those we serve allows them to make—and be—the change they want to see in themselves and in the world.

We Strive for Excellence

Our efforts are directed toward one primary goal: excellence in all that we do. From our treatment philosophies to our daily interactions, we are committed to offering world-class experiences to those whom we serve. We honor this commitment by continuously seeking new, innovative, evidence-based approaches to our work.

We Promote Healing with Compassion

Effective treatment takes a holistic, flexible, and empathetic approach to each individual. Our Dual Diagnosis strategies are motivational, not confrontational, and fully integrated, meaning we treat both substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously. We meet people where they are and take them through a compassionate, individualized, and supportive process. 

Our Mission
