Prototypes Women’s Center — Pomona, Los Angeles County

Prototypes Women’s Center at 845 E. Arrow Highway in Pomona is a 164-bed flagship women-specific residential facility — the largest women-specific SUD residential capacity in SoCal. Operated by HealthRIGHT 360 (the same operator as MLK Jr. Behavioral Health Center), Prototypes is a trauma-integrated program serving women with substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, and histories of trauma including domestic violence and survival-based trauma. Meets our four-signal flagship bar: DHCS license, SAMHSA 2025 match, CARF accreditation for Residential Treatment (BH), and multi-LOC framing via the HealthRIGHT 360 operator network.

What makes this facility flagship tier

Our flagship tier requires four independent verification signals. Prototypes Women’s Center clears all four.

DHCS license: active at the time of our most recent review. License number 190728GN, expiration 7/31/2026. 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

Women-specific programming at scale (164 beds) is a distinctive clinical profile. Prototypes integrates trauma-focused therapy (EMDR, CPT, Seeking Safety), evidence-based SUD counseling, psychiatric care for co-occurring conditions, parenting support and child-care integration where applicable, and longer-length-of-stay residential capacity to support the complex clinical presentations frequently seen in women-specific SUD populations. The operator’s HealthRIGHT 360 framework emphasizes culturally-responsive and trauma-informed care across all sites.

Who this facility is a good fit for

Prototypes serves women with substance use disorder plus meaningful clinical complexity — co-occurring mental health conditions, trauma history, parenting responsibilities, or women requiring longer residential lengths of stay than smaller facilities can provide. DMC-ODS contracted; Medi-Cal access through LA County SAPC. Commercial-insurance and other payer arrangements vary; confirm during intake.

Location and geography

Pomona is in eastern LA County near the LA-SB border. The location serves LA County women plus patients from eastern LA sub-regions (Pomona, Covina, West Covina, La Verne) and accessible from the Inland Empire. The San Bernardino County regional guide notes Prototypes as a cross-county residential option for SB women given geographic proximity.

CARF accreditation

Prototypes Women’s Center 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 Prototypes Women’s Center can confirm current CARF accreditation status and program scope directly at the CARF provider search.

DHCS licensure detail

Prototypes Women’s Center operates under DHCS certification 190728GN (Licensed and Certified), authorized for residential treatment with detoxification services. Treatment capacity per DHCS records: 164 beds. The license is current through 7/31/2026.

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

Prototypes Women’s Center 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.
