About St John’s Chem Dependency Center – Santa Monica
Saint John’s Chemical Dependency Center is a treatment facility that assists teens, adults, and LGBTQ+ persons struggling with addiction and mental health issues. This facility provides medical detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient services, and aftercare support.
Medical detox allows the client to be taken off of the drug slowly while a medical professional monitors and administers medication to ease withdrawal symptoms. Saint John’s Chemical Dependency Center primarily treats opioid addiction. A common medication used for opioid detox is Suboxone.
Following detox, clients can enter Inpatient rehab. Clients live at the hospital while they receive care. Participants engage in individual and group therapy while setting goals and building vital life skills.
The outpatient program acts as a transitional stage for those who have completed an inpatient program but still require structure. Clients continue therapy and begin to use the skills they learned in treatment in the outside world.
Aftercare support provides resources to those who have completed their program. Clients have access to counseling, recovery education, and other relapse prevention resources.
Major insurance providers like TRICARE, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna typically cover the costs of mental health and drug rehab services. However, it is important to contact your provider to verify out of network benefits, as coverage varies.
