I came across 1st Choice Detox Center in a Facebook group. As I looked into them, I found some glaring red flags. For starters, they only have one 5-star rating on Google. That rating was left on April 2, 2026. Anthony Santana has written 9 reviews and left six ratings. One of those reviews has been removed by Google. Anthony left reviews for Warner Park Addiction Treatment & Mental Health Center, Renewal Health Group Sanctuary Treatment Center, and Launch To Wellness – Outpatient Program. I have identified all three facilities in the past as addiction treatment and sober living homes with shared reviews.
There are four items of concern on the 1st Choice Detox Center. First off, they claim to be BBB Accredited. They don’t have a profile with the BBB. Next, they claim to be certified by LegitScript. LegitScript allows you to run paid ads on Google. They also have three reviews on the website that can’t be verified as to who wrote them. It’s a one-page website, and there is no way for anybody to write and post a review. The address listed on the website, 18269 Parthenia St, Northridge, CA 91325, doesn’t match the address listed in their California business registration or their Google Business Profile (GBP).
If you are considering sending your loved one to 1st Choice Detox Treatment Center, please do more research.
