Questions people ask about VA Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center - Addictive Behaviors Clinic

Is VA Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center - Addictive Behaviors Clinic residential or day treatment?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Los Angeles has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Can you detox at VA Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center - Addictive Behaviors Clinic?

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 Los Angeles.

Does VA Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center - Addictive Behaviors Clinic prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Los Angeles, not all of them do.

What is there in Los Angeles that costs nothing?

Los Angeles has 102 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Does VA Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center - Addictive Behaviors Clinic treat people who are pregnant?

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 14 named programs here.

What will I be asked on the phone?

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?

One puts a building between you and the drug. The other asks you to manage that yourself while being treated. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Describe the house you would be going back to, because that is the detail that decides it.

What if I have no insurance?

Most of the time, partly, and the share depends on the plan rather than on the center you pick. An out of network center can still be partly covered, and the difference lands on you. It is fair to ask a center to check your plan before you decide anything at all.
