My MIL was brought here by ambulance after a fall. She ended up needing outpatient care and would need to be admitted to a SNF. After speaking with Ariana and Brianna, the case managers assigned to her, they listened to our concerns about her placement and allowed us to provide feedback about where we would prefer to have her stay, keeping in mind insurance and health plan approval. They both worked very hard and were able to get her a placement with a reputable SNF. We were so grateful for their hard work and for really listening to our concerns. It made this difficult time for her so much more pleasant.

Mike and Connie are the worst! Been waiting on 2 ecsripts since a ER visit 1/16, it's 1/18,2 whole days, and still nothing!! Mike is giving the run around claimg he's waiting on the pharmacy that they're out to lunch but I had just got off the phone right before calling Mike for the 2nd time to let him know he won't hear from the pharmacy because they have nothing from the hospital oflr him. I will never visit or ever recommend this hospital not only because of the lack to perform their job duties, also because of the poor treatment received since the ER visit. Go to Long Beach Memorial instead! At least you'll for sure get quality treatment from all and recieve your medications the same night/day.

First of all our nurse was fantastic! I didn t want to bring my mom here because my dad had died in this hospital 2 years ago. But the paramedics had to take her there because it was the closest to her home We think he was over medicated and died from that. Thats another story. When she finally got a room in the er the sheets had stains on them. Two hours in the staff realized she didn't have a ID wristband!! That s unacceptable! Then they brought in a port-a potty for her to use which was nice but never rinsed it out after she used it. It just sat there in the room until she had to use it again and realized they never rinsed it out. I know UCI took over but things like that should not be overlooked.

Accepted Insurance

Los Alamitos Medical Center 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.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

Waited 7 and a half hours to have a cat scan received and blood work drawn, an hour of which was spent waiting for the paperwork to discharge me. Don t get me wrong, I understand busier times at the hospital and god bless our medical staff on the front lines but when you have your team of front desk nursing staff that check people in talking about PTO and payroll gossip while you have a full ER waiting room to with sick, injured patients, it isn t a good look. The lack of empathy when people walk up to that front desk is astounding and I would highly recommend visiting another hospital until this place gets their act together.
