Pathfinders of San Diego

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

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in San Diego, 2.0 miles away.

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

San Diego has 98 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in San Diego.

Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.

Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.

Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
