About Kaiser Permanente Union City Medical Offices

Kaiser Permanente is an integrated healthcare provider in Union City, California. They provide a full range of proven treatment options for adults and teens. This includes medical detox, inpatient treatment and outpatient programs. They may even offer treatment for dual diagnosis. This is when someone is simultaneously dealing with mental health and substance use disorders.

Their medical detox guides those with severe substance use disorder toward a safe and comfortable withdrawal. It involves comprehensive assessment, stabilization and 24/7 monitoring by licensed care professionals. These professionals can administer medication if necessary to ensure your detox is safe and comfy. However, detox does not treat substance use disorders. It focuses solely on weaning the body off addiction related toxins accumulated from long term use.

After detox you’ll ideally continue with their inpatient care for the main therapy. This program is highly structured and involves intense therapy sessions with round the clock support by their highly experienced team of professionals. Proven therapeutic practices like cognitive behavioral therapy are delivered through group sessions and individual counseling. This helps you uncover the root causes of your addiction and develop robust coping mechanisms. Emphasis is on relapse prevention and life skill development. You’ll also participate in family therapy to rebuild and strengthen relationships with your loved ones. This fosters better communication and understanding. They also offer drug and alcohol education classes to help you understand the consequences of substance use.

This facility also provides medication assisted treatment to address opioid dependency and alcohol addiction. This technique uses FDA approved medicine alongside therapy to support lasting recovery. Buprenorphine based medicine, methadone and naltrexone are typically used in this practice to manage withdrawal. This enables you to undergo individual and group therapy. You can step down to their outpatient program when you complete the residential treatment. This program is also ideal for those with mild addiction. It is highly flexible, involving one or two weekly group therapy sessions. Daytime, evening and weekend group sessions are available for convenience. This program also includes individual therapy and addiction education classes.

The facility even offers self care tools to assist you in your recovery journey. This includes the Self Care app for meditation and mindfulness. This app is suitable for managing depression, reducing stress and improving overall sleeping habits. Aftercare services include referral to peer support groups like AA or NA as well as non 12 Step groups like SMART Recovery. Your care team may also connect you to community resources like recovery housing and employment opportunities for ongoing support. Comments from past patients reflect an overwhelmingly positive experience and exceptional quality of care.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Kaiser Permanente Union City Medical Offices works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
postpartum-program thumbnail image
Postpartum Program
The postpartum period is a sensitive time, especially for women in addiction recovery. Rehabs with specialized programs for new mothers will offer compassionate, personalized care to meet each client's needs as they transition from pregnancy to this season of life. Care teams may include obstetricians, pediatricians, and social workers working collaboratively to give women, children, and families a healthy future.
program-for-men thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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

I love Dr Shankar. Very very knowledgeable and as a doctor myself I have very high standards with little patience for ineptitude or disrespect. The entire staff from front customer service reps to her personal assistant and esp my doctor are current on best practice on par with any hospital UCSF or Stanford etc. They show concern recommend appropriate test preventions with care for me and my specific issues. You can not ask for a better team. My life depends on their accuracy and with them I feel safe cared about. Highest grade possible..and my standards are insanely high.
