Alternative Services

Alternative Services, located in Visalia, California, offers outpatient alcohol and drug rehab services to men and women aged 18 and older who are seeking recovery. This facility emphasizes the importance of incorporating mental health care and welcomes those dealing with co-occurring disorders.

The outpatient program begins with an intake and assessment to determine the client’s areas of challenge at the initial stages of their recovery. Individuals are encouraged to take an active role in their healing and come to treatment with an open mind and a willingness to practice implementing new tools and ways of thinking into their daily lives. They have the opportunity to work with mental health counselors, participate in self-help groups and process groups, and participate in family therapy or couples counseling. Common areas of focus include relapse prevention, grief and loss, identifying and working through triggers, preventing escalation of behaviors and symptoms, identifying the root causes of a person’s challenges, and increasing self-esteem and self-efficacy. If a higher level of care is needed, clients may be referred to a treatment facility that can provide inpatient or residential treatment.

Alternative Services accepts most insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Magellan, Cigna, ComPsych, Aetna, United Healthcare, Ambetter, Anthem, Brightstar Health, and Kaiser. Out of network benefits may vary, so it’s important to verify coverage with your provider prior to starting treatment.
