Questions people ask about Mela Counseling Services Center Inc

Which levels of care does Mela Counseling Services Center Inc have?

They provide outpatient, which is the whole of what this address in Los Angeles is set up for.

Can you detox at Mela Counseling Services Center Inc?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Los Angeles is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

Is there a pregnancy program at Mela Counseling Services Center Inc?

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Los Angeles.

Are there other centers close to Mela Counseling Services Center Inc?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Los Angeles, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Are there free support meetings in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles has 102 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Mela Counseling Services Center Inc?

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

What happens when I call?

The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.

Can I start outpatient and move up?

The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. Where someone is using in the house, or on the route home, outpatient care is working against the current. Ask whether they offer the middle levels, because many only offer the two ends.
