Lakes Treatment Center Inc - The Lakes Arlington

They provide inpatient residential, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Hollister is set up for.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 3 centers near Hollister offer one at all.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 3 centers near Hollister differ on it.

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. Hollister has 3 other centers if this one cannot.

They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around Hollister does.

A program that ends with nothing scheduled has handed you the hardest month with no structure in it. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.

The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
