The Oaks At La Paloma
We are providers of integrated treatment to persons with addiction and/or mental health conditions. Through the use of the Foundations Treatment Model, our specially trained staff members address the complex needs of individuals struggling against co-occurring disorders. When you're in a city steeped in music history, it's only natural to include music in your programming.

Memphis is the home of Elvis Presley and Sun Studios, among others. The blues originated here, and Beale Street remains an attraction for music-minded visitors. Playing music can be very therapeutic, and our music program emphasizes healing through creative expression. Our comprehensive program is covered by most health insurance plans.

The Oaks at La Paloma is more than a residential treatment center-it's a place of hope and restoration. We believe that every person has the ability to change and heal. Our attitude is one of acceptance and nonjudgment; we recognize addiction as a disease and know that it takes important steps to be able to manage a mental health condition well.
Participation in a treatment program is an important first step on the road to recovery. At The Oaks, our rehabilitation program revolves around our client's readiness to recover and change. We believe that an effective recovery process provides a variety of services aimed at meeting the treatment goals and needs of the people it serves.
Our treatment model is designed to work with individuals in all stages of the recovery process. Each path to overcoming addiction is unique, and our experienced team works with you or your loved one through every step of the journey. At The Oaks, we are committed to providing integrated, evidence-based treatment for anyone battling with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders.
Calling a help line is a big step on the road to recovery. It's important to know that you will be speaking to someone with a vested interest in your healing. Our admissions coordinators have been where you are now and have had their lives affected one way or another with addiction. From the moment you choose The Oaks, we help you through the admissions process.
If you have questions about whether you or a loved one may need help, please contact us today. Our admissions coordinators are available to provide a confidential assessment and to review the best treatment options for your situation. Our counselors will guide you through a free, brief and confidential assessment when you call.

I have put a very long review on hear and it was deleted. I notice all of the complaints on the reviews are so similar to mine, especially Sharon B. I plan on sending a complaint to ever establishment that needs to hear this. I journaled single issue I had. I felt like I was in jail. Sometimes I even thought I was in hell. I have names, dated, times, issues with the pharmacy, and problems with the entire time staff. I was there and Lakeside in 2018. I already suffer with PTSD but what happened to me there made my PTSD. Obviously since I am still traumatized. It may have been 2018 but I am still

This was formally the Oaks at La Paloma. I went there for urgent mental health care in late 2019. It was horrible. They seem to be good at treating addicts and alcoholics because that's what groups are tailored to, but they DO NOT treat mental health issues properly - I've been sick and in several psych wards since 2000, so I know what good treatment is. When I began trying to discharge, they said it would take FOUR DAYS, which is absurd. In desperation I finally had them transfer me to the Memphis psych hospital where there are real doctors who know what they're doing. I was in

If your life is in a wreck and your goal is to seek sobriety, peace and happiness, find any other location but this.
If your looking for a rehab/summer getaway for tweens , then you found the right place. Bunch of little kids who had one bad evening and ended up here. If they don't agree with what your saying in group , fire alarms are immediately pulled. Just childish scenarios that distract you from what your actually there for.
3 people that I knew personally, committed suicide shortly after their stay at la Paloma.
This place is toxic, I'm just here to warn that person who might

I discharged from the oaks today (please excuse the all caps....i have an issue with my shift button, so nothing unintended is meant by the caps).
like a lot of places, the oaks presents itself as a dual diagnosis facility.
i met a lot of nice people with extreme issues. most, as the science suggests, also have substance abuse issue. they seem to be happy in general with their treatment but multiple told me the staff's lazy go-to "you are bi-polar----take this' or 'you are psychotic.....take this'. maybe you have multiple personaties....take this'.

Do not believe anything about this facility from pricing to format. We were scammed and it was a big price to pay for our son both physically and emotionally.
I caution you to consider this program.

We put a lot of hope in this facility and we were disappointed at every turn. We were told by the admissions counselor that they had animal therapy. The website stated that they had EMDR, acupuncture, and caring individuals. The only animals were stone statues in the backyard. We were told that there wasn't time to do EMDR, that it was a long-term therapy, yet the program is a 30-day program. We asked the therapist, "Then, who CAN have EMDR at your facility?" (no answer) Acupuncture occurred once while our loved one was there. And multiple afternoon and evening staff members behaved

Hi, there,
i did put my sister at Oaks at La Paloma, assuming that the daily rate was based on the 27,600 monthly rate they advertise. No where did it tell me that if she leaves against clinical advice, the daily rate goes up. I called on a Monday, and they quoted me 1786. Then the following Wednesday, "Jennifer" in the business office says "oops, it just went up to 1926.00???? PER DAY??? I do think it is extremely UNETHICAL to take money from someone like me who is a teacher for a living, has used all of her savings to try and help her twin sister, and then, when she leaves

I have been in Recovery for 25 years. Getting sober and discovering who I was, allowed me to identify a career path that suited my strengths. When the opportunity to work at LaPaloma came along it was the perfect marriage of my head and my heart. This is a magical place of healing and hope. I am so very proud to be a small part of maintaining this special space where our patients can find the safety to heal and find hope again.

La Paloma changed my life for the better. The staff were the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. Quality would describe this rehabilitation center and I am so glad I chose this place. I never thought I would ever say that I love rehab, but I loved it here. I had a great experience and learned so much about addiction, as well as mental health here. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of help and even those who aren't addicts and only need mental health help. It made me realize how much I am actually struggling and how much help I needed. The staff here are genuine and

If I had to use one word to describe The Oaks at La Paloma, it would be "character ". Character in the 100 year old buildings, the massive oaks and magnolias that fill the property. And character in the staff that greet you with that warm southern hospitality and make you feel right at home from the second you walk in the door. It is truly a special place in the heart of Memphis.

We sent our loved one here. This is not a Dual Diagnosis treatment facility that focuses on getting patients med compliant. Their focus is on addiction. Their staff were pleasant and customer/client focused.

Despite our experience, I believe this may be a good program for people who have addiction problems, with perhaps mild mental disorders.

"When you want to leave give it three more days"

I went to La Paloma for trauma, mental illness, and codependency. I was treated greatly from the beginning of my seven week stay at La Paloma. The program exceeded my standards. I have a lot of limitations because of my physical and mental health. I am vegan. The Kitchen staff worked really hard and went an extra mile to aide to my diet. They make really great food for everyone. They are really flexible for anyone who has food allergies and special needs. The medical team is amazing. They work really hard on getting you well.

La Paloma is a great facility in Memphis for people that seek help for their Addiction problems. I am Alumni of their sister treatment center in Palm Springs, which saved my life and lead me to sobriety, happiness and a joyful time so far. I had no drink or drug since I left their doors 3 years ago! Their dual diagnosis system is successful and I still feel very good cared for due to their Alumni and aftercare offers. I visited La Paloma in Memphis and it is a wonderful facility with nice staff, caring so well for their clients. I felt immediately part of a family as I entered. If you struggle

I am writing this review in hopes of helping someone like myself find this great facility. We were very apprehensive about finding a rehab after having a bad experience with one. Someone told me about La Paloma and after some research we decided to have our daughter attend their treatment program. The facility itself is very nice and the staff is amazing. They truly want to help and have helped my daughter so much in her quest to beat her addiction and get her life back. I am so grateful to La Paloma and their kindness and patience with both of us.
