Questions people ask about Department of Veterans Affairs - Long Beach Healthcare System

Is Department of Veterans Affairs - Long Beach Healthcare System residential or day treatment?

They treat people at inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

Can you detox at Department of Veterans Affairs - Long Beach Healthcare System?

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Long Beach that do it.

The nearest other center is 1.8 miles away, in Long Beach, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

Can Department of Veterans Affairs - Long Beach Healthcare System handle a court referral?

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 12 things they offer a named program for.

What if there is depression or anxiety alongside this?

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Long Beach has 8 other centers if this one cannot.

What are the warning signs of a bad program?

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Do I need to stay overnight?

The choice is normally made on medical risk and on what home looks like, in that order. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.

Will my insurance cover this?

The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
