About Homeless Outreach Program Integrated Care System – Los Angeles
Homeless Outreach Program Integrated Care System goes by the name HOPICS. This Los Angeles, California, organization offers a variety of services such as behavioral health care, housing placement and support services. Within their behavioral health services, one of their programs is substance abuse treatment.
They actually offer several types of services here for people with drug and alcohol addiction. For starters, they have a triage and placement service that can be your first contact when you’re ready to get sober. They’ll do a full assessment and see if you’re a good fit for their programs. If you need a different type of program like detox or residential rehab, they’ll help you get into the best facility for your needs.
The treatment programs at this location include an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and outpatient therapy. You ‘ll live in a transitional home or in a home that they can help secure for you, and then you’ll come to the facility for treatment. Usually that’s several times a week for a few hours at a time. Throughout the program they can help with mental health and trauma recovery, because this can play a part in your long term recovery, too.
One thing I thought was important about this facility is that they have harm reduction services. It’s a street based program that offers overdose and safety education as well as safe usage supplies. In this way, they offer help when you’re ready to get sober, but they’re also looking out for you until then.
