Iris Healing Retreat

They provide inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Woodland Hills is set up for.

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Woodland Hills has 8 other centers to compare.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Woodland Hills often still has to be in person.

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Woodland Hills has 8 other centers to ask.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them a few streets away in Woodland Hills.

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Whether a program employs its own prescriber is a concrete difference worth asking about early. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.

Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Ask how often the family sessions meet and whether they happen in person.

Sometimes, and it depends far more on the level of care than on the center. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Ask whether the wait changes if you are willing to start at a different level of care.
