Ujima East Day Treatment Program

Ujima East Day Treatment Program offers treatment for adults with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues and is located in Pittsburg, California. This facility accepts public health insurance and offers a sliding scale for self-pay but will not turn anyone away based on inability to pay. They also work with county and city health programs to make sure eligible residents get the help that they need.

Meeting Unique Needs

I was impressed to learn about the program for parents with children ages 0-5. They want to help the parents get through the recovery, so that they can be the parents that their children need. 

Priority admission is granted to pregnant women, post-partum women, and men with young children. This facility won’t discriminate against anyone based on age, sexual orientation, race, handicap, sex, color, or nationality, as long as all of the eligibility requirements are met.  They do emphasize that the maximum program length is 180 days, but can be much shorter, based on your own journey and healing.

Treatment Approach

Here, they believe in the holistic healing model to heal the body, mind, and spirit. Their staff is devoted to helping you through your journey with trauma-informed care. They will assist you by providing education and recovery workshops, and individual and group counseling. Your recovery is client centered and empowerment focused. I appreciate that they want to help you rebuild a healthy family system and establish community connections for continued success.
