About Della Martin Center

Clients here receive a personalized evaluation and customized treatment plan before beginning any type of program. Their partial hospitalization program includes five days of individual and group therapy per week, and can also include holistic therapy, psychiatric care, and training sessions on emotional wellness. Clients meet regularly with their care team to check their progress. I thought it was smart that providers ask all clients to bring extra clothes and toiletries to their sessions, even if they’re just attending day treatments.

Their intensive outpatient program isn’t quite as rigorous. This program only requires three days of group and individual counseling per week. Clients may also receive physical therapy, emotional counseling, and trauma therapy. All alumni receive ongoing care, support, and community connections to help them maintain their recovery.

While some former clients agree that the staff members are generally caring and patient, one client noted difficulties with a specific clinic care partner. Others echoed this sentiment, sharing that the environment felt unsafe and they did not receive quality care while in the program.

This is the worst place you can leave a loved one. The department heads do not speak to one another. The rules are different depending on who you speak to you WILL NEVER GET AN HONEST ANSWER. I am a sound and educated person and got evil vibes from all of the department nurses and heads of office when asking about a relative . They left us waiting in their department over 2 hours waiting for visiting hours to start then tell us you can’t visit him he has no visitors today! I almost lost it! I was very serious about seeing my relative and made sure they knew I would show up daily! They did not tell us we would need my relatives permission to see them before they admitted him so we could ask and hear it for ourselves. They had their own plans. They shout at patients to get them to comply. They are not professional and lie to family members. This whole department needs to be investigated by sending someone undercover to see what really happens inside.

I was sent here as a 5150 and I do have some critiques of this facility: The food is inedible, and you’re not even given a menu the first 24 hours so you gotta just trust whatever they bring you, they say they’ll hold your clothes for 24 hours but you really got to fight to get it back, the logistics aren’t the greatest, there isn’t really anything to do during downtime, and there isn’t a smoking area for people who use nicotine. However I’m willing to set all of that aside because of how INCREDIBLE the staff was. They are both extremely attentive and caring without being patronizing, they constantly ensure your needs a met, they’re extremely fun to to talk to (even the security), and are by far the greatest mental health team I’ve dealt with. I just really hope Cedar Sinai gives this crew the funding and resources they need to really bring positive change in people’s lives.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Very terrible place. Some nurses are very rude, they don’t let you finish the sentence on the phone and just hang up. When you call in the second time of the day, the lady said you call too many times and won’t listen and just say no update and hang up. Also, they won’t care much about the patients.
