Twelfth Step House of San Diego

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

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of San Diego does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around San Diego does.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in San Diego often still has to be in person.

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 San Diego.

There is nothing else within 14 miles of San Diego, so the next option is a longer drive.

Marketing language is nearly identical across the field, so the comparison has to be made on specifics. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.

They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask whether the center offers the middle levels or only a bed and a weekly appointment.
