Questions people ask about Akua Behavioral Health Inc

What treatment does Akua Behavioral Health Inc offer?

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

Does Akua Behavioral Health Inc offer a detox?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Costa Mesa offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

What special programs does Akua Behavioral Health Inc offer?

Veterans are one of the 11 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Is Akua Behavioral Health Inc an option for someone over 65?

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Costa Mesa.

Are there other options nearby?

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

Does medication replace counseling?

The short version is a prescribed medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal, taken under supervision. How long someone stays on a medication varies from months to years, and that decision belongs with a prescriber. Ask whether counseling is included or billed separately, because the combination is the point.

Can I go back after a relapse?

It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. A recurrence after a long gap and one in the first week are different problems with different answers. Ask what this program would do differently from the last one.

What can I take with me?

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
