About CRI Help Inc The George T Pfleger Center
CRI-Help, Inc. has been treating substance use disorder in Los Angeles since 1971. The George T. Pfleger Center, at 11027 Burbank Boulevard in North Hollywood, is the organization’s primary residential treatment campus. CRI-Help operates additional locations across Los Angeles, including the Socorro program, the Lincoln Heights Recovery Campus (which serves Medi-Cal eligible adults), the Sola Sobering Center, the Jack S. Bernstein Building, the Marlene N. Nadel Building, CRI-Help Outpatient, and the CRI-Help Bingo Hall.
The Pfleger Center anchors a continuum that includes detoxification, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programming, and transitional living. CRI-Help also operates dedicated Spanish-speaking services and a Women’s Program. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is offered as part of the clinical model. The facility is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services — License No. 190095AN for Pfleger Residential — and is subject to state regulatory oversight rather than the federal OTP framework.
Financial access is structured to serve a broad community. CRI-Help is in-network with major insurance providers including Blue Cross, MHN, and Magellan, and serves Medi-Cal eligible adults through its Lincoln Heights Recovery Campus. As a nonprofit with deep community roots, CRI-Help has built a long-term operating record in Los Angeles’ addiction treatment ecosystem.
The organization’s mission rests on four stated core values: Community, Integrity, Compassion, and Care. CRI-Help publicly reports more than 53 years of legacy, 55,000 clients served since 1971, 300+ beds across its locations, and 187 staff members, interns, and volunteers. The North Hollywood campus can be reached at 818-985-8323.
