Addiction Research and Treatment Inc - (ART)/Boyle Heights Clinic

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Los Angeles has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Los Angeles offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Los Angeles it may be mixed.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25, alongside programs for adult men and adult women, which is more than most places around Los Angeles name.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Los Angeles.

Programs are commonly sold in blocks of 28 or 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, with outpatient care lasting longer and lighter. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.

The difference is where you sleep. Inpatient means you stay at the center, outpatient means you travel in for sessions. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.

Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Have your member id with you when you call, because nothing can be checked without it.
