By SoCal Addiction Centers Editorial Team | Last reviewed: | 3 min read Clinically Reviewed

Patterns — Hawthorne, Los Angeles County

Patterns at 12917 Cerise Avenue in Hawthorne is a 35-bed flagship residential facility operated by Behavioral Health Services, Inc. Patterns is one of the longer-operating mid-scale residential SUD programs in LA County, with meaningful DMC-ODS contracting and commercial-insurance acceptance. Meets our four-signal flagship bar: DHCS license, SAMHSA 2025 match, CARF accreditation for Residential Treatment (BH), and multi-LOC framing via the broader BHS operator network.

What makes this facility flagship tier

Our flagship tier requires four independent verification signals. Patterns clears all four.

DHCS license: active at the time of our most recent review. License number 190007FN, expiration 9/30/2027. Program authorization: residential treatment with detoxification services.

CARF SUD-specific accreditation: see dedicated section below for specific program details.

SAMHSA 2025 National Directory: matched.

Multi-level of care: evaluated against the operator’s program scope, whether across DHCS program codes, CARF-accredited programs, or co-located operator sites.

Clinical program overview

35-bed residential capacity supports mid-scale clinical programming — group therapy depth, individual therapy, psychiatric consultation, trauma-informed care, and aftercare planning. BHS as operator maintains a network of LA-area facilities and can provide cross-site clinical continuity for patients requiring step-up or step-down across the BHS programs network. Clinical philosophy integrates evidence-based SUD counseling with dual-diagnosis-capable psychiatric support where appropriate.

Who this facility is a good fit for

Patterns accepts DMC-ODS and commercial-insurance-covered patients; private-pay accepted. The 35-bed capacity handles a broader range of clinical complexity than small-cap (6-12 bed) luxury facilities — appropriate for mid-severity presentations including moderate-to-severe SUD with co-occurring mental health components. LA County SAPC referrals are a typical admission pathway for Medi-Cal patients.

Location and geography

12917 Cerise Avenue in Hawthorne serves South Bay LA populations — Hawthorne, Lawndale, Gardena, Inglewood, Torrance corridor — plus broader LA County patients seeking residential care. Accessible via 105 and 405 freeways.

CARF accreditation

Patterns holds current CARF International accreditation for SUD-specific programming — specifically: Residential Treatment (BH). CARF accreditation is a voluntary third-party clinical quality review covering program design, clinical outcomes measurement, health and safety, governance, and continuous improvement. It is not a regulatory requirement for California SUD treatment operation but signals operator investment in an independent quality-assurance process that many DHCS-licensed facilities do not pursue.

Families evaluating Patterns can confirm current CARF accreditation status and program scope directly at the CARF provider search.

DHCS licensure detail

Patterns operates under DHCS certification 190007FN (Licensed), authorized for residential treatment with detoxification services. Treatment capacity per DHCS records: 35 beds. The license is current through 9/30/2027.

DHCS enforcement records should be checked for any specific facility before admission. Our DHCS license verification walkthrough provides the tool-based methodology.

SAMHSA National Directory

Patterns appears in the SAMHSA 2025 National Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Facilities, providing cross-source verification from a federal registry independent of both CARF and DHCS. SAMHSA directory presence is one of the four independent verification signals our flagship tier requires.
