Questions people ask about New Directions
Is New Directions inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Whittier is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at New Directions?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in La Mirada, 2.1 miles away.
Is there anything in La Mirada besides paid treatment?
Alongside this, La Mirada has 50 NA meetings and 3 free AA meetings.
Can New Directions handle a court referral?
Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 12 things they offer a named program for.
Does New Directions offer appointments by video?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into La Mirada.
Is New Directions an option for someone over 65?
They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near La Mirada cover.
What are the warning signs of a bad program?
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 kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.
Who answers the phone?
The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.
