About Centro Latino Americano – Eugene
Centro Latino Americano is a nonprofit community organization serving Latino adolescents and adults and Mexican immigrant families in Eugene, Oregon. It was formed in 1972 by a group of Chicano student activists from Lane Community College and the University of Oregon. Although it provides an array of services it specializes in substance addiction treatment. The treatment is fully bilingual, so you can expect recovery services that affirm your culture while negating language barriers and communication issues.
Treatment will also reflect the Latino norms, beliefs and values inherent to many clients’ cultural identities. It’s also worth noting that the Central Latino Americano facility integrates its substance abuse services with its human and social services. This is beneficial for those who require mental health services alongside addiction treatment. It’s also important to know that this center offers specific services for women who need addiction treatment.
When you enroll in the outpatient program at this center you’ll receive counseling from a licensed therapist. This therapist will work with you and social workers to provide various services and customized treatment plans. Family members can also receive help if they are trying to assist an individual going through addiction.
In terms of payment this facility offers a sliding scale for community members who are without insurance or who have limited insurance coverage. This center also bills the Oregon Health Plan for services. No community member will be denied help because of their inability to pay for treatment or enrollment in the Oregon Health Plan.
