About Fashion Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center – San Diego
Fashion Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center is an opioid addiction recovery center in San Diego, California. They are part of the Comprehensive Treatment Centers (CTC) opioid use disorder program, one of the leading networks of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) centers serving people in several states throughout the U.S. They provide outpatient treatment for adults aged 18 and older using MAT alongside evidence-based treatment therapies.
The first step in the admission process is to schedule an intake appointment. These typically take between two and four hours during which you receive a physical exam, provide a treatment and psychiatric history and testing that includes drug tests, TB skin tests, and pregnancy tests for women. They encourage people to come to this intake appointment while in withdrawal, except for women who are pregnant.
MAT uses FDA-approved drugs to reduce the intensity of opioid withdrawal and is used in ongoing long-term recovery to reduce cravings and the potential for overdose. Prescription medications that might be considered include methadone, suboxone, buprenorphine, and Vivitrol. However, while medication is helpful, it cannot address the underlying reasons for addiction.
Evidence-based counseling and therapy help with these efforts. You might receive therapy and individual and group settings where you address your experiences that led you to abuse opioids. You also learn how to repair the damage that results from addiction.
They provide a broad scope of services and support in an outpatient setting that can help build on a successful withdrawal. They understand that no two people are alike and your outpatient treatment program must be customized to meet your specific needs. They accept many commercial insurance providers as well as California Medicaid and Medicare, and offer self-pay options.
