24 Hour Residential Treatment For Adult Men
Nestled in the beautiful Alhambra Valley on the old spanish land grant Rancho de Los Dos Canadas, is a luxurious, colonial ranch style villa, the home of Alhambra Valley Retreat. The five acre property affords breathtaking views, resort-style amenities and a tranquil setting ideal for achieving sobriety and beginning the journey to lifetime recovery. Welcome to Alhambra Valley Retreat, Katherine's House!
Katherine LoForte's dream was to open a beautiful place where healing and hope could be realized by those suffering from substance abuse. She succumbed to this terrible disease but her vision has been realized by her father, Anthony LoForte, Sr., who in her memory created this house of hope and healing.
