They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Riverside is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They provide detox for 1 substance: opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Corona has 8 other centers.

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

Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 14 named programs at this address.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Corona, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.

Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. If you are driving yourself, ask where the car will sit, because some programs keep the keys. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
