This place saved my life, literally. And it continues to every single day.
I was homeless for a good portion of my adult life, my life was in shambles & after trying other treatment options I thought for sure this is how I'd spend the rest of my life - addicted on the streets with nothing but my guilt. I had distanced myself from my family & friends, it really sucked to say the least. Does any of this sound familiar? You may want to consider this as a treatment option if so. I am doing MAT (medicated assisted treatment) here, which keeps me off the streets, off opiates, in school & get this - the medication used prevents any cravings for opiates while also keeping you stable. Contrary to belief this medication will not make you "sleepy" if you are at a stable dose, everyone's dosage is different & the doctor provided on-site + the amazing counselors will work with you to ensure that your dosage is tailored to you & is not too high. Your first day you WILL be there for a few hours, so don't expect to be in & out - however it is all the worth it, I promise. I am not a friend or a family member writing this review, I am a actual patient who for the past two years has had the pleasure of personally attending this facility, who will be done with this program soon & be ready to put this part of my life behind me. If long term treatment isn't for you, that's okay too because it's a program tailored to YOUR needs, take as little or as long of a time YOU need. Your counselor will be there for you the whole step of the way, after all most of them have been in your shoes. My ONLY complaint would be the parking lot, which admittedly sucks because of how small it is.
SIDENOTE: I saw a previous review which said they had insurance trouble & let me tell you I had a few problems as well when I first got there. I have medi-cal which I believe is the main insurance they take (it might be the only one they take but please don't quote me), if you don't have an insurance they take or are transferring from out of county they can put you on a grant for their 21 day detox program, maybe a bit longer if needed. Worst comes to worst you can pay out of pocket, which honestly isn't as much as you'd think for MAT. Good luck!! read more
