AKUA Mind and Body Women’s Residential Treatment Center ranked as one of California’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers 2023 Report
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, August 16, 2023, AKUA Mind and Body Women’s Residential Treatment Center was ranked top in the 2023 California’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers report. For the 4th consecutive year, Newsweek has partnered with global market research firm Statista Inc. to rank the best U.S. treatment facilities focused on addiction. Akua Mind & Body has ranked every year since 2020.
In cooperation with Newsweek, Statista invited 1000’s medical experts (therapists, counselors, medical doctors, administration & staff working in addiction treatment facilities) to an online peer-to-peer survey. Additionally, experts from all over the US could participate in the survey of the Best Addiction Treatment Centers by State on newsweek.com. All data was collected by Newsweek and Statista during the survey period from May to July 2023. Quality checks were performed to avoid self-recommendations and recommendations for an addiction treatment center someone works for were not counted in the evaluation.
The scoring model was based on 2 core segments:
1. Reputation Score (85% Recommendation score + 15% Quality score)
2. Accreditation score

The list comprises the top 360 addiction treatment centers in the country, focusing on the 25 states with the highest number of facilities, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The lists are based on two data sources: A national online survey among peers and accreditation data on addiction treatment centers provided by SAMSHA.
The overall rating was the weighted average of the overall reputation score and the accreditation score. The weight for the overall reputation score was 80% while the weight of the SAMHSA-based accreditation score was 20% towards the total score of each facility. Subsequently, facilities were ranked within their respective state based on their total score achieved.
