Questions people ask about Amity Foundation
Is Amity Foundation inpatient or outpatient?
They offer inpatient residential. 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.
Can you detox at Amity Foundation?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Los Angeles, 1.5 miles away.
Does Amity Foundation take court ordered treatment?
They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Los Angeles has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.
What is there in Los Angeles that costs nothing?
Los Angeles has 102 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Amity Foundation?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Los Angeles are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. Treating one and postponing the other is the pattern that sends people back for a second attempt. A program that cannot answer these questions is telling you something useful.
How much will my family be told?
Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.
Is medication part of treatment?
The short version is a prescribed medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal, taken under supervision. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. Ask how long the medication is expected to continue, and who reviews it.
