Center for Rehabilitation of Patients with Addictions

Since 1988, we have helped thousands of people from Central America and the U.S. to overcome substance abuse through our residential and outpatient recovery programs.

Evidence-Based Treatment

CEREPA is trained and certified in the Clare|Matrix Model addiction treatment program. The Matrix Model is a structured, multi-component behavioral treatment model that consists of evidence-based practices, including relapse prevention, family therapy, group therapy, psycho-education, and self-help. Our staff of 30 collaborators delivers the program in a sequential and clinically coordinated manner.

Treating the Whole Person

Addressing our patients’ spiritual needs as part of their recovery process is a cornerstone to our approach. Our full-time chaplain leads individual and group sessions with our patients, as well as connects them with local churches, who provide an affirming and supportive social connection to patients, post-discharge.
