About Behavioral Health Services Flossie Lewis Center

Founded in 1973 and named after a woman who dedicated her life to advocating for women struggling with addiction, The Flossie Lewis Center helps women recover from substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. The center offers detox and 3-6 month residential care, supporting pregnant and parenting women by children to stay with their moms during treatment.
The Flossie Lewis Center uses proven therapies to help women heal in mind and body. Clients attend group and one-on-one counseling, learn new coping skills, and get help with family relationships. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention teach women how to stay healthy and strong after they leave. These tools help women build a new, better life.
The facility offers a calm, supportive living space. Women usually share rooms and bathrooms with others in the program. Nutritious meals are served daily, and there are spaces for indoor group activities and outdoor time. For those coming from far away, the center can help with travel planning to make getting help easier.

How do I start treatment at Behavioral Health Services Flossie Lewis Center?
Call the facility directly at (562) 435-7350 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
