About

About Khepera House

Khepera House is a long-tenured residential addiction treatment program serving men in Ventura, California. Founded in 1982 and named for the Egyptian deity Khepera — a symbol of self-generation and renewal — the program has spent more than four decades providing shelter and structured recovery for thousands of men dealing with alcohol and drug addiction. The admissions and detox site is at 125 West Harrison Avenue, Suite A, while the corporate office sits at 906 North Ventura Avenue.

Clinically, Khepera House operates as a therapeutic community where residents engage in structured group living, individual counseling sessions with a counselor to build a treatment plan, and daily routines designed to rebuild self-esteem and reintegrate clients into the surrounding Ventura community. The program is explicitly compatible with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) — residents already inducted onto MAT with an approved provider can continue their medications while in residence — and uses cognitive behavioral therapy alongside 12-step principles.

The program serves adult men, with documented populations including veterans and court-ordered clients per SAMHSA’s directory. Khepera’s affordability is a defining feature: it accepts Medi-Cal as its named insurance carrier and self-pay, and emphasizes its mission as low-cost, dignity-first residential recovery rather than premium-priced rehab. The program is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services under license number 560004JN (expires 5/31/2027) and appears on the state’s official list of approved SUD Recovery Treatment Facilities per BHIN 22-022.

Applications go through Elgin Goodwin and Richard Silvey at the kheperahouse.org admissions emails, and the main intake line is (805) 653-2596. Sober living is offered alongside the licensed detox and residential program for clients who need an extended period of structured housing to consolidate early recovery.
