Questions people ask about Safe Refuge
What programs does Safe Refuge offer?
They offer inpatient residential and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Long Beach has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Safe Refuge?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Long Beach, 2.1 miles away.
How many options are within driving distance?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them a few streets away in Long Beach.
What special programs does Safe Refuge offer?
One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 14 named here.
Is there an age limit at Safe Refuge?
Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Long Beach can mean one group rather than several.
Does Safe Refuge treat mental health as well?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Long Beach may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Is there family counseling?
Visiting and a family program are not the same thing, and the second is the one worth asking about. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.
Does medication replace counseling?
It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.
