About Total Family Support Clinic
The Total Family Support Clinic in Sylmar, California was a non profit community based social service agency. Adults and youth could come for treatment that addressed substance use, personal development, and well being. The facility is now closed.
Services were offered by staff who were bicultural and bilingual. Clients were not turned away because of their inability to pay. Certain programs offered transportation to and from the clinic.
Substance Use Treatments and Groups
The clinic offered outpatient substance abuse treatment, drug and alcohol testing services, treatment for substance use with co occurring mental health disorders, and smoking cessation services. Unique programs included the youth LGBTQ+ program, youth gang intervention and prevention, and the perinatal program.
Substance abuse treatment groups were available to youth and adults. Anger management and domestic violence programs were offered too.
Volunteers Made a Difference in the Community
Community members were able to volunteer to help with certain services. Volunteers were chosen to help make a difference in the field of substance use treatment. They could also conduct workshops and be guest speakers who shared their experiences with substance abuse.
Rehab Score
Other Forms of Payment
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
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
