This is a great practice in general with great staff, but I had to give them a one star review because their Psychiatrist has extremely poor listening/comprehension skills and doesn t listen to what the patient has to say. Go see all their doctors they are the loveliest most professional people, just not their psychiatrist Dr. Blenda.

Hi Ahmed! So sorry to hear of your negative experience. The practitioner you mentioned is no longer with our organization, please consider visiting us again in the future as we have a new provider for psychiatry.

Worst medical care for more than 2 years! Referrals not sent, doctors and/or nurse practitioners do not listen. With all the restrictions they have for medications all these providers want to try alternatives but want you to come back weekly! That's a difficult task when people work and try to provide for their families. Over the phone visits work but only if the provider takes the time to call back or listen to your concerns and or health needs. I've been given so much of my valuable time and I'm no longer willing to do so! Finally got excellent medical insurance so I will be finding a new provider ASAP not at this facility. They've changed my medication so many times I feel like a guinea pig. Especially when I tell them what has worked over the years with my previous provider who no longer is in practice. They didn't take any of that into account and even told me in regards to one medication, that they were not prescribing it to me and wanted to know who prescribed it. Omg are you kidding. I have been on that medication for more than 20 years and this provider has been prescribing it to me since I've been here. Now that's a scary thought. I will leave you with that and be moving on to a different provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

Programs

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

The goal of couples therapy in California is to strengthen the couple's relationship. The therapist may take one or more approaches to counseling which may include the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy, behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic couple's therapy.

Appointment went well. Nora was great. William seemed new and a little tentative. All in all a good 1st visit. Only downside was the typical lobby wait. 0930 Appointment, not called into the back until 10.

Thank you, we appreciate you! We are always looking to improve.

DO NOT GO TO THEM FOR MEDICAL IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM!!! THEY MAKE FAMILY HEALTHCARE NETWORK SEEM COMPETENT!!!1. They LOSE paperwork repeatedly! We filled out the same forms multiple times & they consistently would say we never filled out said forms.2. Providers REFUSE to prescribe emergency medication that you prove you've taken for half a decade. Emergency meds being only when a SPECIFIC situation happens & only once in said emergency as prescribed for said reason for YEARS. They also enter said EMERGENCY medication into their system as a "3 times a day" despite refusing to fill it. When we finally force the issue w/ a different of their providers, they prescribe the medication w/ instructions that make literally no sense even to the pharmacist (who thankfully has record of all the previous years' prescriptions)!3. Our 1st appointment was supposed to be in March. They canceled it, & canceled the next appointment as well, we finally were seen in MAY.4. In 1st appointment the main reason aside from establishing a new doctor was to get referred to a new Neurologist after the last one lied (by omission) on Federal paperwork. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER & WE ARE STILL WAITING ON A REFERRAL TO A NON-COMMUNITY HOSPITAL-BASED NEUROLOGIST!5. They REQUIRE a cell phone to check-in. When you point out that you do not have a cell phone but your parent/partner/friend w/ you does, they want to load THAT PERSON S CELL PHONE AS TO THE CONTACT FOR ALL YOUR MEDICAL INFORMATION. THAT PERSON THEN IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN EVER CHECK IN! They then treat you like a villain for wanting to be able to check in w/out having to use SOMEONE ELSE as your check-in method.6. They lose paperwork w/in their own systems REPEATEDLY whether digitally or manually filled out. We had an appointment to SPECIFICALLY sign Release of Information forms so they could get records from other doctor's offices. They lost those forms & told us that we d have to come back in to fill them out (refusing to admit that they made a mistake). This ESPECIALLY as we needed the information to give to the government.7. When you then request to speak to a supervisor, somehow MAGICALLY the forms mysteriously suddenly appear.8. They take WEEKS to CHOOSE to send out the above-mentioned forms to the other doctors' offices, & then try to blame other doctor's offices on the fact that the paperwork never showed up, even though they were the ones who waited for weeks to do their jobs. 48 hours to SEND is reasonable, 2 weeks is not.9. They do not understand their own forms. My adult child needs me to be able to pick up forms for them & speak for them due to anxiety disorder (though my child does make their own health decisions). My child marked that I would have access to everything, & when my child & I were picking up paperwork, they specifically said that my child would have to list that paperwork on the "exclusions" (as to reject what I can pick up) for US TOGETHER to be able to pick up that paperwork.10. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE MY ADULT CHILD PAPERWORK REGARDING THEIR OWN HEALTH, MY CHILD'S OWN MEDICAL RECORDS, WHICH THEY SPECIFICALLY CALLED US & TOLD US TO PICK UP!11. We spoke to the executive assistant of the CEO of the group & nearly 48 hours later (& over a month past when we needed those forms) & they still hadn't allowed us to pick the forms up. I had to call them & inform them that I'd already called the media & the Medical Board of California, planned on leaving this scathing Google Review, had been consulting w/ lawyers, & that the only thing that will make them look SOMEWHAT reasonable is to turn over my child s medical records to my child before we have to take them to court over this absurdly illegal mess they d created. That did it & they finally called & told us (again) to pick up the paperwork an entire month after the 1st appointment to fill out the Release of Information Forms.We WILL be looking for a new medical office. DO NOT EVER CONSIDER THESE PEOPLE FOR MEDICAL AT ALL!!! NONE OF THEM SHOULD EVER BE ALLOWED TO WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD EVER AGAIN!!!
