They provide inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Sun Valley 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 Burbank.

Veterans are one of the 13 groups they offer a program for.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Burbank, not all of them do.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Burbank often still has to be in person.

Burbank has 126 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.

Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.
