Are there free support meetings in Carlsbad?

Is there a residential program at Presbyterian Medical Services?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Carlsbad, 1.5 miles away.
Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?
It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
What should I bring to treatment?
Less than you think, and the medication list matters more than the clothes. If you are driving yourself, ask where the car will sit, because some programs keep the keys. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
