Questions people ask about Way Back

What kind of care does Way Back provide?

They are set up for 2 levels: inpatient residential and inpatient hospital. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of San Diego, 5 offer a bed.

Does Way Back offer a detox?

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 2 places near San Diego that do it.

Does Way Back have a program for veterans?

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in San Diego it may be mixed.

Who is Way Back for?

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25, alongside programs for adult men and court referrals, which is more than most places around San Diego name.

Does Way Back do co-occurring treatment?

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and San Diego may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Are there other centers close to Way Back?

There are 8 more within a short drive of San Diego, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Will a program make me come off my medication?

They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.

How long does treatment take?

Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask what the program length is and what happens if more time is needed.
