Lighthouse Treatment Inc

They offer inpatient residential and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Anaheim has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Anaheim has 8 other centers to compare.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Anaheim offers both.

They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Anaheim.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Anaheim it may be mixed.

Anaheim has 201 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.

Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. Anything a prescriber gave you should travel with its label attached, because an unlabeled container is usually refused. Ask what they hold at the door and when you get it back.
