Teen Project Inc

They provide inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Van Nuys is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Van Nuys.

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Van Nuys send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

It is on its own in this part of CA, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Van Nuys.

Their programs are for young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Van Nuys can mean one group rather than several.

The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. Ask what the total looks like with your plan and without it, and ask what the quote leaves out.

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a call can answer it. Many programs start the admissions paperwork during the wait, so the day a bed opens is not spent on forms. If the wait is long, ask what the next level down could start on.
