Mending Bridges LLC

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

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 Mission Viejo.

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

Mission Viejo has 24 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Mission Viejo.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Mission Viejo.

Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.

Addiction treatment records carry a stronger legal protection than the rest of a medical file. Who sees a record inside a program is also limited, usually to the team treating you. Decide now who you want kept informed, because that form is easier to fill in calmly than in a crisis.
