Questions people ask about Alternatives for Better Living
What treatment does Alternatives for Better Living offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Vallejo is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Alternatives for Better Living?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Vallejo, 11 miles away.
Is there a residential program at Alternatives for Better Living?
Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 12 miles away in Vallejo.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Alternatives for Better Living?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Napa is worth confirming before you drive over.
Are there free support meetings in Napa?
Alongside this, Napa has 17 NA meetings and 112 free AA meetings.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at Alternatives for Better Living?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Napa are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?
You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
