Private rehab suites are single-occupancy rooms, usually with their own bathroom, where you sleep and rest between sessions.
Private rehab suites are single-occupancy rooms, usually with their own bathroom, where you sleep, rest and decompress between therapy sessions. At Faith Recovery Center in Beverly Hills, private suites are the standard, and the house holds a maximum of 8 patients at a time. That combination matters more than any single amenity, because a bedroom is only one piece of what makes a setting private.
Below you'll find what a suite changes about treatment, how coverage works, and which questions separate a truly private setting from a marketing label.
A private rehab suite is a room you occupy alone for the length of your stay, typically 30 to 90 days in residential care, with the bathroom attached or reserved for you. It gives you a door that closes, a bed no one else uses, and a place to take a phone call, journal or sleep without a roommate's schedule shaping yours. At Faith Recovery Center, that means a private suite in a single Beverly Hills residence that holds 8 patients at most.
Private rooms are available for drug and alcohol treatment, but availability varies widely. Many programs place two or more people in a room by default and offer single rooms as an upgrade or only when space allows.
The terms get used loosely, so ask what each one means at the facility you're considering. A private room is a single-occupancy bedroom. A suite usually implies more, such as a private bathroom and a bit more space. A shared or semi-private room puts two people in one bedroom, often with a shared bathroom.
Semi-private is the in-between term you'll see most often. It generally means two people to a room, sometimes with a shared bath between adjoining rooms. Some listings say "private rooms available," which can mean guaranteed or merely possible. Confirm in writing whether a single room is promised from admission or assigned only if one opens up.
At Faith Recovery Center, private suites with private bathrooms are the standard rather than an add-on. No one shares a room or bathroom as a matter of course.
Features differ by facility, and photos can mislead. Treat any listing as a starting point and ask for specifics, because published claims about square footage, bedding or finishes are only as reliable as the source. We don't publish room dimensions, so we'd rather you see the space during your admissions conversation than rely on a number.
Look for a private bathroom, a bed you can actually sleep in, storage for 30 to 90 days of clothing, and a door that gives you real quiet. Layout matters in early recovery because sleep is often disrupted. A room you control, with your own light, temperature and routine, makes it easier to rest between sessions.
Our suites sit inside a private Beverly Hills residence built for recovery, so the hallways and living areas feel like a home rather than a clinical corridor.
The suite is where you retreat, and the rest of the property is where you spend your day. The house has chef-prepared meals tailored to dietary needs, a pool and gardens, an on-site gym, a tennis court and outdoor lounge areas. Common rooms are set up for conversation.
Where clinically appropriate, scheduling can also accommodate personal appointments such as hair, beauty or medical visits. These comforts are worth weighing, but they shouldn't outrank the clinical questions below.
A private suite doesn't make treatment more effective by itself, and a shared room doesn't mean worse care. The room changes your rest, your privacy and how exposed you feel in early recovery. The clinical level depends on staffing, licensing and the therapies delivered, which is why those are the things to verify first.
Some people also ask whether a private room is medically necessary for infection control. In substance use treatment, that's a question for the facility's medical team rather than a default assumption. If you have a specific health concern, raise it during assessment so the physician can advise on room placement.
Addiction treatment typically moves through stages. Medical detox is physician-supervised withdrawal management, often about 5 to 10 days. Residential treatment follows, typically 30 to 90 days, with full-time care at the facility. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) come next, often lasting one to three months or longer, and aftercare planning begins before you leave.
Those ranges are typical, and your clinical needs and progress set the actual length of stay. We offer every one of these levels at the same Beverly Hills address, so you can step down without changing facilities or losing the clinicians who know you.
Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can be medically dangerous, which is why detox should happen under supervision. Please don't attempt to taper at home.
Many people in treatment also live with anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder or ADHD. Our psychiatrist, Dr. Julio Meza, M.D., integrates psychiatric care into the plan from arrival rather than referring it out afterward. Dr. Jason Giles, M.D., a board-certified physician, oversees medical protocols from detox assessment through residential care.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available when clinically indicated, coordinated between the medical and psychiatric teams. Whatever facility you choose, ask whether medication is available at every level of care, including after detox ends.
Therapy here includes individual sessions using CBT, DBT and motivational interviewing, EMDR and trauma-informed care, group and family therapy, relapse prevention, yoga, mindfulness and art therapy. With a maximum of 8 patients, clinicians know each person by name and history.
Cost varies with program length, clinical needs and insurance benefits, and we don't quote prices in articles. Published averages for residential rehab generally describe standard programs rather than private or luxury settings, so they'll understate what a boutique facility charges. Use them only as a loose baseline, since a house limited to 8 patients prices differently than a large campus.
Insurance is the bigger variable. We work with many private PPO plans, including Aetna, Ambetter, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, Evernorth, Highmark, Humana, Luminare Health, Meritain Health, Optum and UnitedHealthcare. Sometimes insurance covers an entire stay, and private pay options are available. Coverage for a private room specifically depends on your policy, so it needs to be checked rather than assumed.
Medicare rules for skilled nursing and inpatient rehabilitation after surgery or injury, including room type and length-of-stay limits, are a separate system from addiction treatment. Check them with Medicare directly at Medicare.gov. We don't claim Medicare or Medicaid acceptance.
Verification is free and confidential with us, and it happens before you commit. Our team contacts your insurer, then tells you what your plan appears to cover. When you speak with any facility, ask about these points:

Start with credentials and clinical staffing, then look at the setting. A beautiful room attached to thin clinical care is a poor trade. A private suite is worth it when privacy affects whether you'll stay, such as with sleep problems, trauma, a public profile or a need for quiet. If a shared room comes with stronger clinical care, take the clinical care.
Check three things. First, state licensing, and ours is California Department of Health Care Services license 190130AP. Second, accreditation, and we're Joint Commission accredited, which signals that a facility meets recognized quality and safety standards. It verifies standards rather than outcomes, and no accreditation guarantees recovery. Third, LegitScript certification, which verifies lawful and transparent operation.
Then ask who is on staff. Here, physicians and nurses are available around the clock, and all clinical roles are filled by licensed professionals. Ask any facility the same, and find out whether a physician and a psychiatrist are integrated into care or only on call.
Our single facility sits in the hills above Beverly Hills, calm and discreet yet reachable from across Los Angeles County. Clients also travel from farther away. Some people want distance from home and others want family close, so weigh that honestly.
Privacy also depends on policy. Our calls are confidential, and we comply with HIPAA, so nothing is shared without your consent except as the law requires. A small census adds a practical layer, because with at most 8 people in the house you're not one of dozens of faces in the hallway. Ask any facility for its actual maximum instead of accepting a general claim of intimacy.
Faith Recovery Center is a physician-led boutique treatment center and dual-diagnosis program in one private Beverly Hills residence. Despite the name, it isn't a religious program. The name reflects hope and renewal, and spiritual practice is welcome if you want it, while treatment stays clinical and evidence-based.
The continuum runs under one roof, from medical detox through residential treatment, MAT, PHP, IOP, outpatient treatment and aftercare. We treat alcohol, opioids including fentanyl and heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, prescription drugs, marijuana and other substances assessed case by case. Family support is part of recovery, and visitation typically begins after initial stabilization, on a schedule set with the clinical team.
Admissions follows five steps, beginning with a confidential call and insurance verification, then clinical assessment, arrival and orientation, and the start of treatment. Many clients are admitted within 24 to 48 hours of the first call, and same-day admission is sometimes possible depending on availability and clinical situation. No doctor referral is required, and family members can call on your behalf.
A private suite tends to help most when rest, privacy or emotional safety are barriers to engaging in treatment. People with trauma histories, severe anxiety, demanding careers or a need for discretion often name it as a deciding factor. It matters less if your main concern is clinical depth, which is why you should compare staffing and therapies first.
Put a few questions to yourself and to any facility. Consider whether you sleep better alone, and whether a roommate would make you less likely to speak openly in therapy. If discretion is your priority, ask what the facility does to protect it. Check that the program treats co-occurring mental health conditions, and get the private room guaranteed in writing. At Faith Recovery Center, those answers start with a house of 8 people and private suites as the standard.
Ambivalence is normal. You can call more than once before deciding, and admissions is built to be non-pressuring.
The room type doesn't set the level of care. Clinical care depends on staffing, licensing and therapy, so compare those directly. A private suite changes your privacy and rest, not the medical standard. At Faith Recovery Center, private suites sit alongside physician-led, 24/7 clinical support.
A private room holds one person, while a semi-private room holds two and may share a bathroom. Wording varies by facility, so ask whether a single room is guaranteed. Our standard is a private suite with a private bathroom.
Often you can request one, but it isn't always guaranteed, and coverage differs from addiction treatment. Ask the facility and your insurer, and contact Medicare directly if you're covered by it. For addiction care, we can discuss room placement during admissions.
Yes. Many luxury and boutique programs offer them, and ours does as the standard for alcohol and drug treatment, including medical detox, residential care and dual-diagnosis support.
It depends on your plan, which is why verification matters. Some plans cover a stay in full, and some leave you with a share of the cost. We verify benefits for free and tell you what we find before you commit.
Medicare rules on room type and stay length are separate from addiction treatment, and they depend on medical necessity. Check the details at Medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE. We don't claim to accept Medicare.
Common categories are inpatient or residential facilities, outpatient programs, and skilled nursing or physical rehabilitation settings. Addiction care typically uses the first two. We provide detox, residential, PHP, IOP and outpatient care.
It's a Medicare criterion for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, generally referring to about three hours of therapy a day for qualifying patients. It applies to physical rehabilitation, not addiction treatment, so confirm current rules with Medicare.
For national resources, the SAMHSA National Helpline offers free, confidential referrals at 1-800-662-4357, and NIDA publishes plain-language information on treatment. If you want to see whether a private suite at Faith Recovery Center fits your needs, call (844) 598-5573 at any hour. We'll verify your insurance for free, answer your questions about the suite and the clinical program, and let you decide at your own pace.

Limited research suggests gender specific rehab is no more effective than mixed-gender care (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6470905/), though some women will only seek treatment in women-only programs.

Treatment costs at high-end rehab centers are influenced by location, length of stay, amenity quality, and level of care. Here is what to ask for in writing.

The brain can generally heal after addiction, but it takes time, and the pace depends on the substance, how long you used it, and what support you have.

The general adult guideline of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week is a reasonable target in recovery, but it isn't an addiction-specific prescription.
