Questions people ask about Alcoholism Center for Women
What programs does Alcoholism Center for Women offer?
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.
Is detox part of what Alcoholism Center for Women offers?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Los Angeles, about a mile away.
What special programs does Alcoholism Center for Women offer?
They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Los Angeles has 8 other centers to ask.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They do video appointments, which matters if Los Angeles is a drive for you.
Is there a residential program at Alcoholism Center for Women?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Los Angeles.
What happens after a program ends?
A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. The first weeks back carry the highest risk, so what is booked for them matters more than the program length. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Stopping a psychiatric medication abruptly can cause real harm, which is why this is never a decision to make alone. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.
What is medication assisted treatment?
It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. How long someone stays on a medication varies from months to years, and that decision belongs with a prescriber. Ask whether the medication can start during detox or only after it ends.
