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

Socorro — Los Angeles, Los Angeles County

Socorro at 4439 Burns Avenue in Los Angeles is a 75-bed flagship residential facility operated by CRI-Help, Inc. — one of LA County’s long-established nonprofit SUD providers. Socorro is one of the anchor residential flagships in central LA, combining detox and longer-term residential care. Meets our four-signal flagship bar: DHCS license, SAMHSA 2025 match, CARF accreditation for Detoxification/Withdrawal Management – Residential (BH) and Residential Treatment (BH), and multi-LOC framing via the two co-accredited programs on the same site.

What makes this facility flagship tier

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

DHCS license: active at the time of our most recent review. License number 190095MN, expiration 5/31/2027. 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

75-bed residential scale supports meaningful clinical programming depth — group therapy across patient cohorts, individual therapy, psychiatric consultation, dual-diagnosis-capable care, and aftercare continuity. CARF-accredited for both residential detox and residential treatment, enabling on-site level-of-care continuity from medically supervised withdrawal through extended residential stabilization. CRI-Help’s multi-decade nonprofit mission emphasizes culturally-responsive care serving LA’s diverse patient populations.

Who this facility is a good fit for

DMC-ODS contracted residential serving Medi-Cal-eligible patients via LA County SAPC referral. Commercial-insurance and private-pay accepted. Appropriate for mid-to-larger-severity SUD presentations including polysubstance, opioid-use disorder with MAT indication, and co-occurring mental health presentations.

Location and geography

4439 Burns Avenue is in the East Hollywood / Virgil Village corridor of central LA — geographically central and accessible from multiple LA sub-regions. Urban-core location provides aftercare continuity for patients whose recovery engagement depends on proximity to community recovery resources, employment, or family.

CARF accreditation

Socorro holds current CARF International accreditation for SUD-specific programming — specifically: Detoxification/Withdrawal Management - Residential (BH), 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 Socorro can confirm current CARF accreditation status and program scope directly at the CARF provider search.

DHCS licensure detail

Socorro operates under DHCS certification 190095MN (Licensed and Certified), authorized for residential treatment with detoxification services. Treatment capacity per DHCS records: 75 beds. The license is current through 5/31/2027.

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

Socorro 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.
