They also specialize in programs ordered by the court system. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, and other state and local government funding. There's a sliding fee scale for eligible clients.

Welcoming a Variety of Patient Groups
Dedicated treatment programs are provided for adults 18 and over and for seniors. Court ordered treatment is available for those referred from the judicial system. Members of the LGBTQ+ community are made to feel welcome, as are survivors of trauma and those with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I think it’s important to note that they also have a special program for individuals with eating disorders.
Suicide Prevention and Psychiatric Emergency Services
Modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma therapy are explored through individual, group, and family counseling. They also offer case management and integrated primary care services. Vocational rehabilitation and housing assistance are available as is coordination with probation agencies. I like that they have a suicide prevention program, as well as psychiatric emergency services such as walk in and offsite mobile services.
Outdoor Spaces of Ventura
Ventura offers plenty of spaces for outdoor relaxation and recreation. The Ventura Botanical Gardens features plants from a variety of climate zones, among them Chile, South Africa, California, and the Mediterranean Basin.
It also provides scenic views of downtown Ventura, the Channel Islands, and the Santa Monica Mountains. The Ventura River Parkway Trail is 16.5 miles of access to natural landscapes and woodlands, offering opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Plaza Park is a historic urban park that’s home to one of California’s oldest and largest Moreton Bay fig trees. It’s the perfect place to gather with the local community.
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.
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.
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.
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.
