Questions people ask about CLARE Matrix
What kind of care does CLARE Matrix provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Venice, about a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does CLARE Matrix offer a detox?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Santa Monica.
What other centers are nearby?
Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Venice, Los Angeles and Culver City.
Does CLARE Matrix treat older adults?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Santa Monica that often means one room rather than two.
Is CLARE Matrix an option for a veteran?
They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Santa Monica.
What is aftercare?
The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. Free meetings, a prescriber and a weekly session are the usual three pieces of a plan that holds. Ask how the medication prescription continues after discharge, and who writes it.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.
Does my employer find out?
Confidentiality here is unusually strong by law, and that is a different thing from nobody noticing. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.
