Questions people ask about West LA Recovery
Is West LA Recovery inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Venice is set up for.
Does West LA Recovery offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Venice offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is West LA Recovery an option for someone over 65?
They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Venice cover.
Are remote sessions an option at West LA Recovery?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Venice often still has to be in person.
Is there a residential program at West LA Recovery?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Venice has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Is the first call an assessment?
The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.
How long would I be in a program?
Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient sit between residential and standard outpatient care, at a few hours a day. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
Is a second attempt treated differently?
A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. The useful question after a recurrence is what was missing, and the answer is often medication or aftercare. Nothing about calling again is unusual. Intake lines hear it daily.
