About Quest 2 Recovery
Quest 2 Recovery operates a private residential treatment center in Quartz Hill, California, serving Los Angeles County and Kern County, including Santa Clarita, Palmdale, Lancaster, Bakersfield, and the broader Antelope Valley. The program is dually accredited by The Joint Commission and CARF, two of the most respected behavioral-health accreditation bodies in the country, and is recognized by SAMHSA as a substance use treatment facility with both detox (dt=1) and residential (res=1) capabilities.
Clinically, Quest 2 Recovery is built around a low-volume, high-attention residential model. The facility emphasizes individualized care, a low client-to-staff ratio, and a home-like environment for clients who are stabilizing during detox and entering structured residential treatment. Services include medical detox, residential inpatient rehab, dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use, medication-assisted treatment where appropriate, intervention services, and a structured aftercare and alumni support program designed to extend recovery support after discharge.
The clinical team is publicly identified on the program’s site. Medical care is led by Neda Javaherian, MD, with Marine Guloyan (MPH, LCSW) serving as primary therapist and Krystle Ramos as program manager. SUD counselors include Yvette Waterworth (SUDCC), Alessandro Pastore (CADC-I), and Venus Marshall (CADC-II), with Arley Smith providing alumni support. That degree of named clinical transparency is unusual for a residential program and signals confidence in the team’s credentials.
Quest 2 Recovery accepts private insurance and self-pay, and verification of benefits is offered through the program directly. SAMHSA records confirm populations served include veterans, young adults, seniors, men, women, court-ordered patients, and clients with HIV/AIDS support needs. For families navigating residential treatment options in southern California outside the dense and often expensive Los Angeles core, Quest 2 Recovery offers a smaller, accredited setting with an explicit emphasis on personalized clinical attention.
