About Alta Bates Summit Behavioral Health Outpatient Services – Oakland
Alta Bates Summit Medical Center’s Herrick Campus provides substance addiction and mental health treatment for individuals in the San Francisco Bay area. They offer inpatient detox and rehab, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient care.
They provide medication assisted treatment to lessen withdrawal symptoms during the detox process. These medications are prescribed by a physician to ensure safety. This service is supportive of your recovery efforts and a solid first step to overcoming addiction.
The inpatient rehab program may take from one to four weeks, depending on your recovery needs and insurance information. You’ll have access to medical care 24/7 and attend chemical dependency counseling to develop a treatment plan customized to your preferences, strengths, and abilities.
They have morning and evening outpatient services that meet in small groups. Their outpatient program is appropriate for those in the early or middle phases of addiction and are motivated to succeed in recovery. You’ll also attend individual counseling sessions that may explore behavior patterns that lead to substance use. Your counselor can help with relapse prevention methods and better future coping skills.
All programs include a thorough medical physical with labs. Clients participate in educational lectures and discussions regarding recovery and addiction, have supervised physical fitness activities, and learn relaxation and stress management methods.
