About La Casita – Downey
La Casita, located in Downey, California, is part of Southern California Alcohol and Drug Programs, Inc. They’re a nonprofit organization that provides residential addiction treatment services and outpatient counseling services for female adults, including specialized services for clients who are deaf or hard of hearing.
They offer residential treatment to women who are suffering from drug and alcohol addiction. This type of treatment is suitable for those who need a high level of structure during the initial phases of recovery. La Casita’s Residential Program allows children to accompany their mothers and also serves as a perinatal recovery program. They commit to a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental way of being with clients. Cultural sensitivity, specialty services to those who may need interpreters, and care for the entire family are incorporated into the program.
Outpatient treatment is a step down from residential and allows for greater flexibility. Rather than staying off-site is customary, with a return to treatment at regular intervals. It’s important that each person has a safe home to return to. Women are assessed using the full American Society of Addiction Medicine Assessment and receive the following services: Education and counseling groups, individual counseling sessions with a substance abuse specialist or a therapist, case management, transportation, and random drug screening.
For those needing a safe shelter to remove themselves from domestic violence, Southern California Alcohol and Drug Programs has an emergency shelter called Angel Step Inn. The program is a 45 day transitional shelter that provides a place of escape and safety for victims fleeing domestic violence who are also dealing with substance use disorders. It provides stabilization and protection for clients and their children. Education, resources, and referrals are made as needed.
They’re in-network with most private insurance plans. Services are free of cost to Medi-Cal and My Health LA qualified patients who meet medical needs. Out of network benefits can vary so confirm your coverage with your individual provider.
