Questions people ask about Friendly House
Is Friendly House residential or day treatment?
They provide inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Los Angeles is set up for.
Can you detox at Friendly House?
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 Los Angeles.
Who are the programs at Friendly House built for?
Veterans are one of the 8 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Is Friendly House an option for someone over 65?
Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Los Angeles, because a wide age range often still means one room.
Are there other options nearby?
There is nothing else within 14 miles of Los Angeles, so the next option is a longer drive.
Do I have to come in person to Friendly House?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Los Angeles often still has to be in person.
What does the court need from the program?
The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Ask who signs the completion paperwork and how long it takes.
Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?
In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. It is fair to ask a center to check your plan before you decide anything at all.
