Tarzana Treatment Centers in Los Angeles is committed to providing integrated behavioral healthcare in alcohol and drug treatment. This means that when patients enter treatment in one of our facilities, they will have access to the many other healthcare services we offer. And more access to services from one provider means better outcomes in alcohol and drug treatment.

A recent report by California State University, Long Beach, Department of Criminal Justice to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation highlighted that we are truly committed to success in treatment. The study paid close attention to several details in substance abuse treatment, and noted specifically how we help patients with special needs.

In particular, Tarzana Treatment Centers understands the importance in making all levels of mental health treatment available to our patients with co-occurring disorders. We were noted in the report as being “…the most capable program to address co-occurring disorders statewide. The program is efficient, organized, and well-run despite the fact that they serve some of the most high-needs clients in the state.”

Our alcohol and drug treatment program is also recognized as providing the highest level of care in HIV Services, as mentioned in the report. These services include education, specialized primary care, housing, and mental health services, among many others. Patients can be referred to services as early as their first day in our medical detoxification unit.

We are continually enhancing and expanding programs so that patients can count on us for the services they need. As drug use trends change, drug treatment modules must be altered and added. It was stated twice in the report that we have an answer to the rise in methamphetamine addiction rates.

Cognitive deficits that result from methamphetamine addiction can last up to two years after use is stopped. While the disease of addiction has many constants where treatment is concerned, meth users need to re-learn memory skills and may require visual cues. We assess patients entering methamphetamine treatment for needs in these areas and treat accordingly.

Another example in this area that was not on the report is the recent changes in teen drug use trends. Teen prescription drug abuse is rapidly growing. At the same time, perceptions among adolescents that these drugs risk little harm are on the rise.

Tarzana Treatment Centers takes steps to slow these trends through treatment, family groups, and education. Our expertise in prescription drug detox has proven to be valuable as demand has increased for adolescent drug detox. The ability to provide both medical detoxification and youth alcohol and drug treatment improves outcomes for long-term recovery.

If you or a loved one needs help with drug addiction or alcohol dependence, you can count on Tarzana Treatment Centers in Los Angeles to provide all of the services you need. Our commitment to integrated behavioral healthcare goes far beyond what has been written in this article. For more information, please call us now at 888-777-8565 or contact us here.
