Bakersfield Recovery Services

They provide inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Bakersfield is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Bakersfield.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Bakersfield.

Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of Bakersfield.

Nothing else serves Bakersfield inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.

It is the same treatment with reporting attached, and most of the programs listed here take referrals. A deadline inside an order is easier to meet when the program hears about it on the first call. Ask who signs the completion paperwork and how long it takes.

Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.

Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. A plan tends to approve a level of care in blocks of days, then review whether to carry on. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
