Found Recovery

They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Thousand Oaks is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

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 Agoura Hills.

Agoura Hills has 38 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Agoura Hills, 2.1 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 Agoura Hills differ on it.

Cost turns on three things: the level of care, how long it lasts, and what your coverage picks up. Detox is the most expensive stretch because it is medical care, and it is also the shortest. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.

It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. Coming off the medication early is a common point at which things come apart, so the planned length matters. What you are already taking is part of this conversation, so bring the list.

Think documents and medication first, comforts second. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
