They were touted as an agency that could help me apply for SSI. Almost 2 years later, they haven't done anything, the head the local office told me that if I didn't like it, I could go take a flying leap.
About Homeless Outreach Program Integrated Care System
Homeless Outreach Program Integrated Care System goes by the name HOPICS. This Los Angeles, California, organization offers a variety of services such as behavioral health care, housing placement and support services. Within their behavioral health services, one of their programs is substance abuse treatment.
They actually offer several types of services here for people with drug and alcohol addiction. For starters, they have a triage and placement service that can be your first contact when you’re ready to get sober. They’ll do a full assessment and see if you’re a good fit for their programs. If you need a different type of program like detox or residential rehab, they’ll help you get into the best facility for your needs.
The treatment programs at this location include an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and outpatient therapy. You ‘ll live in a transitional home or in a home that they can help secure for you, and then you’ll come to the facility for treatment. Usually that’s several times a week for a few hours at a time. Throughout the program they can help with mental health and trauma recovery, because this can play a part in your long term recovery, too.
One thing I thought was important about this facility is that they have harm reduction services. It’s a street based program that offers overdose and safety education as well as safe usage supplies. In this way, they offer help when you’re ready to get sober, but they’re also looking out for you until then.

I can t even believe this is a program! Me and others that I ve spoken with has all had the same HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! They are only there for a paycheck! They give zero cares about people in need. I signed up to get help with keeping me in my place! I ve STILL!! Never heard back from my worker! Or her supervisor! It s been WELL! Over a month! I was given an appointment to come back to bring two forms that they never told me I needed before hand! Only once I got there. However, I brought back the next week at the day and time I was given! Guess what! I sat there from 10:00 that morning until1pm!! ! Not my worker or anyone else for that matter ever! Came out to see me. So I of course left!! Only for me to call back a few hours later to THEN!! Be told that she actually had NEVER!! Even came to work that day!! So I sat all that time for nothing!! Like No one knew this?? Not even the front desk? Really!?!? Then when I was finally given her number, So called, called several times, leaving several messages! Was very polite and professional! Yet! She still has never called me back. Till this day!! Also the days I had come in looking and hoping for help! Person after the person! Would come in, go to the window and tell the same type of stories to the woman at the front desk! How they had been waiting for weeks to hear back about one thing or another! Or how their landlord has been waiting on something that was supposed to have been handled and how it s been over 3/4 weeks of calling and coming by with nothing! And these women at the window NEVER!!! Seems to know ANYTHING!! I watched this happen hour! After hour! Same stories. These people do not care about anything but getting a check! And as long as they have no one to check them!! Hold them Accountable!! They will continue to do the same thing which is nothing!!! And get paid for it! It is the worst organization I ve ever walked into. It s the people who are truly in need that is suffering because of it. Because if their supervisors continue being busy only being their friends instead of a true leader! Then they will never change this behavior. I still have never met my worker. I ve still never spoken to my worker! Only the intake worker . However, I ve left messages after messages after messages. No return phone calls, no letters, just no care at all for the Crisis in front of them. . I ve explained to her over the phone Just how pressing my situation is! And Absolutely nothing. I mean It must be nice to get a paycheck just to simply clock in! And I m sure every one of them! In their interviews talked about how they love helping people. I m sure they either started or ended with that LIE!!! HOPICS! Is not for the people!! It s where they all come and gather! Hang out with their coworkers! And get paid. I seen and heard SOOOOO! Much more then! But I honestly can t tell it all here. Only if someone of authority would call me!! I would LOVE!! To tell them everything I ve seen and heard! Even from others I know personally. HOPICS!! Is HORRIBLE!! And it s unfortunate. They don t even realize or care to that it s because of the people in need that they even have this program/job. They win though. We lose. The ones that has been helped! Trust it was ONLY!!! By the grace of God! Because these workers really don t care about you!

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
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.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
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.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
