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.
