Questions people ask about Back to Life Transitional Living
Is Back to Life Transitional Living inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Pasadena is set up for.
Is detox part of what Back to Life Transitional Living offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Pasadena offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Who are the programs at Back to Life Transitional Living built for?
They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around Pasadena does.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Back to Life Transitional Living?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Pasadena.
Are there other centers near Back to Life Transitional Living?
Nothing else serves Pasadena inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.
How much will my family be told?
Visiting and a family program are not the same thing, and the second is the one worth asking about. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.
How long does the first call take?
You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. An out of network center can still be partly covered, and the difference lands on you. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
