They provide outpatient and detox. The nearest alternative is in Santa Monica, about a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.

They detox from opioids. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 2 places near Venice that do it.

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Venice that can depend on who is rostered that day.

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

They prescribe 2 medications: methadone and buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Venice.

Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

It means a mental health condition alongside substance use, which describes most people in treatment. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.
