Questions people ask about Positive Steps Inc

Is Positive Steps Inc residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient. The nearest alternative is in Long Beach, 1.7 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

Does Positive Steps Inc offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Long Beach, 1.7 miles away.

Is Positive Steps Inc an option for someone under 18?

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Lakewood.

Does Positive Steps Inc have beds?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Lakewood.

Does Positive Steps Inc offer medication for addiction?

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Lakewood.

How do I pick the right place?

What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.

What if I have no insurance?

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. An out of network center can still be partly covered, and the difference lands on you. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.

Is treatment confidential?

Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Ask for a copy of any release you sign, and read what it covers.
