Questions people ask about SPIRITT Family Services
What treatment does SPIRITT Family Services offer?
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 Santa Fe Springs is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what SPIRITT Family Services offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Santa Fe Springs, 3.2 miles away.
Is medication assisted treatment available at SPIRITT Family Services?
They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Whittier will.
Is there a residential program at SPIRITT Family Services?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Whittier.
Are there free support meetings in Whittier?
Whittier has 98 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
How many options are within driving distance?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 3.2 miles away in Santa Fe Springs.
How do I tell two programs apart?
Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.
What happens to the medication I already take?
They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.
