Akua Behavioral Health II

They provide inpatient residential, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Newport Beach 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 Newport Beach.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adult men, adult women, court referrals, hiv/aids, military families, past domestic violence, past sexual abuse, past trauma, service members and veterans.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Newport Beach that often means one room rather than two.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Newport Beach is something they handle.

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. Detox is the most expensive stretch because it is medical care, and it is also the shortest. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
