Contra Costa County - East County Adult MH Services

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Antioch, 3.3 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Pittsburg is the nearest place that does it, 1.7 miles away.

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

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 Pittsburg.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Antioch is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

What you pay depends more on insurance than on which center you choose. Nonprofit and faith based programs sometimes cost a fraction of commercial rates, with longer waits attached. Ask for the itemized version rather than a single total, because the surprises sit in the line items.

Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. Family education is often the part that changes how a household behaves, which is what the person comes home to. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Programs will usually ask what happened last time, and the answer shapes what they offer. Going back sooner rather than later is the part that matters most.
