About Shields For Families Ark Program
Shields For Families Ark Program is an outpatient substance use treatment program in Lynwood, California serving South Los Angeles adults through regular outpatient and intensive outpatient care.
As part of the family centered SHIELDS for Families nonprofit network the program pairs evidence based addiction treatment with wraparound social services.
Addiction Treatment and Overdose Education
Care begins with a comprehensive substance use assessment and screening for both mental health and substance use concerns. Clients engage in regular outpatient or intensive outpatient treatment which I noted is tailored to their needs and recovery goals.
Programs include counseling using approaches such as CBT and motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation.
ARK also supports clients with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders and I found additional services to be discharge planning, aftercare, and overdose education.
