Venice Medical & Mental Health Services

Venice Medical & Mental Health Services offers substance abuse treatment in Los Angeles, California. Their services include narcotics replacement therapy and outpatient drug free treatment.

One of the things I like about this organization is its flexibility with treatment. You can choose to be treated with or without medication. Narcotics replacement therapy involves the use of opioids to help reduce your cravings. The medication they use is Suboxone which is a combination of naloxone and buprenorphine. It’s designed to manage your withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings by blocking the effects of opioids.

You can choose their outpatient drug free service if you don’t want to be treated with medication. You’ll undergo individual therapy sessions and participate in support groups. You may be expected to be at the facility for a specific number of hours and days every week. Outpatient treatment allows you to continue to take care of your daily responsibilities while you work toward recovery.
