Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services

They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Pacoima offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They do video appointments, which matters if Pacoima is a drive for you.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Pacoima may not have a second place set up for it.

They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Pacoima.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Pacoima may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

It normally means continuing outpatient sessions, a prescriber if medication is involved, and free meetings. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Ask whether the aftercare is run by the program or handed to somebody else.

A program will want the full list on day one, including anything over the counter. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.
