They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Midway City, 4 offer a bed.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 4 places near Midway City that do it.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Midway City, not all of them do.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Midway City differ on it.

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Midway City, because a wide age range often still means one room.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Westminster, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove.

Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. Detox is the most expensive stretch because it is medical care, and it is also the shortest. Ask what the daily rate becomes if coverage stops before the program does.

It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. The level of care that fits now may not be the one that fit before. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
