About West Oakland Health Council – Oakland
West Oakland Health Council is a community based clinic in Oakland, California. Adults can access outpatient care and medication assisted treatment for mental health conditions and substance abuse. Their outpatient programs are specifically for those with referrals from their medical provider.
You’ll have access to individual therapy to work through the barriers hindering your recovery. They give you the tools to face these challenges head on while building coping skills to sustain sobriety. Additionally, you’ll benefit from care coordination. These services connect you with community resources and support for your recovery journey.
They tailor their medication assisted treatment toward people with opioid use disorder. This program provides group and individual counseling coupled with daily medication. You could be prescribed medications, like Suboxone or methadone, to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings and promote long term sobriety.
One thing I like about them is their specialty mental health care services. They provide flexible options in the office, at home, in the community, and during school visits. They have different programs for adults, children, and adolescents with moderate to severe mental health conditions. I think this option is super helpful, especially if you find traveling to and from treatment challenging.
