Questions people ask about Ness Counseling Center Inc
Which levels of care does Ness Counseling Center Inc have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and West Hollywood is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what Ness Counseling Center Inc offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Los Angeles, 1.7 miles away.
Are there free support meetings in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles has 79 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Can you stay overnight at Ness Counseling Center Inc?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Los Angeles, about a mile away.
Is Ness Counseling Center Inc an option for a veteran?
Veterans are one of the 12 groups they offer a program for.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Ness Counseling Center Inc?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Los Angeles that can depend on who is rostered that day.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.
What do I need to pack for a residential program?
Less than you think, and the medication list matters more than the clothes. The usual banned list covers alcohol, anything containing it such as mouthwash, aerosols, sharp items and outside food. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
