Questions people ask about Shields for Families

What treatment does Shields for Families offer?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Lynwood, 2 offer a bed.

Is detox part of what Shields for Families offers?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Los Angeles is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

Are remote sessions an option at Shields for Families?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Lynwood.

Is treatment available in Spanish at Shields for Families?

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Lynwood are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Is there a residential program at Shields for Families?

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

What separates a good program from a bad one?

What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

Is treatment expensive?

The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Ask whether medication is inside the quote, because it is a frequent extra.

Is a dual diagnosis treated in one place?

Dual diagnosis means both are present, and treating them together is the current standard of care. Psychiatric medication and treatment medication can usually be managed together by the same team. Ask whether the therapy is delivered by somebody licensed to treat the mental health side.
