Sun Street Centers - Outpatient Recovery Services

They provide outpatient. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Monterey is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is under a mile away in Seaside.

Seaside has 34 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

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 Seaside may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Seaside has the nearest beds, under a mile away.

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Interactions are the reason the list is asked for, particularly with anything sedating. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.

For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. Alcohol use disorder has prescribed options of its own, which is worth raising because the phrase is usually explained in terms of opioids. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.

Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. The useful question after a recurrence is what was missing, and the answer is often medication or aftercare. Ask what this program would do differently from the last one.
