About Shields For Families
Shields for Families is a community service organization in Los Angeles, California and one of their services is their Genesis Family Day Treatment Program. This is a day treatment program for individuals and families who are seeking recovery from substance use disorders.
We like that their focus is on providing robust outpatient services rather than inpatient or residential treatment as a less restrictive way to help you maintain your independence as you continue to live at home and attend to your personal responsibilities. Their services emphasize addiction recovery and strengthening of your family unit.
They accept Medi-Cal and county funding for qualifying clients. Zero cost or low cost services can be offered to you if you meet financial eligibility. They also provide sliding scale options as part of their financial assistance.
Families Say This Program is Transformational
Families have highlighted the practical help they received with life skills and coping, not just abstinence from substances. Positive feedback focuses on the supportive and compassionate staff who treat clients “like family.” The transformational impact on both parents and their children is emphasized. We’re particularly impressed that the program’s ability to help reunite or keep families together is noted.
Day Treatment in South LA
Genesis is located in South Los Angeles, near campuses such as Los Angeles Southwest College. Jesse Owens Park and Sports Complex is nearby, providing outdoor recreation opportunities which can lend to the emotional health aspect to your recovery. There are also local libraries and community centers in case you need extra resources. The facility is easily accessible by public transportation.
IOP and Outpatient Services for Children
Their intensive outpatient programs are available during the day, allowing you to return home in the evenings. This includes both substance disorder treatment and services that help you strengthen your family unit. Their core focus is on keeping your family together through therapy and addiction recovery. You’ll also have access to parenting education to help you be the best parent possible to your child.
On site therapeutic services are provided for children up to age 5. This is good because it’s not only a great service for the growth of your child but it frees you up so you can attend treatment free of distraction. Your child will have access to meals, a playground, and therapy services.
Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
Addiction treatment in the metro area benefits clients by offering seamless connections from the city, around the state, and those seeking out-of-state treatment. Another benefit of attending a metro area drug rehab is that you’re close to major airports and ground transportation services.
Business centers are a preferred amenity in many mental health and addiction recovery facilities and typically feature secure, high-speed internet, computer stations, printers, and related business technologies. Business centers are designed to enable professionals and students to continue to participate in work or school activities without leaving the treatment facility.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Typically, a young adult program in California can guide individuals from detox, through initial treatment, and extends to aftercare. Treatment gives young adults what they need to reset their lives and move to the next stage of life free from addiction.
An adult program in California uses various therapeutic methods to treat a person who is dependent on an addictive substance. Individuals aged 18 and older are eligible for treatment, which focuses on breaking the cycle of addiction and learning how to maintain sober living.
Alcohol rehab in California provides professional treatment to guide participants through each step of recovery. Programs offer a support system to walk you through challenges and celebrate victories with you, from detox to long-term sobriety.
Gender-specific addiction treatment programs may be more effective in treating men because they focus on unique needs of males. Men’s rehab in California is designed to help men process emotions and cope with stress in a judgment-free environment.
Women’s rehab in California provides a safe environment where women can work through addiction challenges surrounded by their gender peers. This often creates an environment that is more conducive to recovery.
For those who are struggling with opioid use disorder, help is available at opioid rehab in California. This complex addiction can be treated through a combination of evidence-based therapies and medication assisted treatment.
When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.
Seniors face unique challenges that may contribute to substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders. Elderly rehab in California is designed to address these challenges to provide relevant and safe treatment for seniors.
Levels of Care
When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetings. The focus will be on restructuring attitudes and thoughts to reduce cravings and develop skills to prevent relapse. The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.
Community support and relationship-building are key elements of aftercare rehab in California. You’ll receive recovery coaching, social support, and mentors to help you maintain sobriety after completing initial rehab treatment. This support will continue as long as you need it, which could be weeks or more than a year.
When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.
Intervention services in California provide the support you need to encourage a loved one to make wise recovery decisions. Professionals will help you work with your loved one to develop an intervention plan and get him or her started on their recovery journey.
