Western Pacific Med Corp - Western Pacific Ventura

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

They detox from opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Ventura.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Ventura.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Ventura does.

Ventura has 40 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

What you take comes with you, in the original labeled containers, and is reviewed on arrival. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.

One of them takes the decision to use out of your hands for a while. The other leaves it with you. People commonly start higher and step down, rather than choosing one level and staying there. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
