About AADAP – Asian American Drug Abuse Program – Therapeutic Community – Los Angeles

The Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP) Therapeutic Community (TC) is in Los Angeles, California. They have a substance use disorder treatment program based on the client centered TC. They integrate this treatment model with a chronic disease assessment.

The program has CARF accreditation and is licensed by the State of California. The TC is a small community that reflects the larger at large community. It’s an environment built especially for learning. The residents live there 24/7 and learn from each other.

Some of the services in the TC include but aren’t limited to, individual, group, and family counseling, case management, and recovery support services. They also have life skills and nutrition classes as well as a wellness group and anger management classes.

They do random urinalysis testing when you’re in the TC. You’ll also take part in recreational and social activities, and outings. When you leave, there are support services and aftercare services to help you maintain sobriety.

If you need to stay out in the community, they also have an outpatient unit. They offer treatments that take into account your environmental, cultural, and emotional needs.

The AADAP also has a prevention unit working with the wider community to help deal with underlying factors that lead to problems with alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. They have youth and family programs that help youths at risk for gang affiliation.

Be sure to check and see if they take your insurance. Some former clients noted that the staff is strict but they loved the program and found it helpful.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
