Clean and Sober Recovery Services Inc

They are set up for 2 levels: inpatient residential and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Orangevale, 4 offer a bed.

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

They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Orangevale has 8 other centers.

Orangevale has 25 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They offer a program for adult women, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Orangevale has 8 other centers to ask.

Visiting and a family program are not the same thing, and the second is the one worth asking about. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.

Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

Addiction treatment records carry a stronger legal protection than the rest of a medical file. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Read what you sign at intake, because the release is in that stack.
