Loma Linda University - Behavioral Medicine Center

They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Redlands is set up for.

They detox from opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Redlands.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Redlands that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

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

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Redlands, not all of them do.

Alongside this, Redlands has 42 NA meetings and 58 free AA meetings.

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. The usual banned list covers alcohol, anything containing it such as mouthwash, aerosols, sharp items and outside food. Ask what to do about prescriptions and mail arriving at home while you are away.
