WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your life's direction because of Substance Use Disorder (SUD)? Are you interested in overcoming these challenges but are unsure where to start? We are here to help you access treatment, overcome your limiting beliefs, create a vision for the future, and develop an actionable plan that will help you achieve your goals. 

The Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) provides a continuum of care modeled after the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria for SUD treatment services, enables more local control and accountability, provides greater administrative oversight, creates utilization controls to improve care and efficient use of resources, implements evidenced based practices in substance abuse treatment, and coordinates with other systems of care. 

Our approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. It's important to understand that SUD is a condition characterized by the harmful or hazardous use of substances like drugs or alcohol. Prolonged use can create complex medical and psychological issues that affects both the brain and behavior. Here are some key points to consider when seeking support:

The first step is acknowledging that there is a problem. This can be difficult, but it's crucial for the recovery process.

That's the reason you're reading this, right? We will help you reach out to the correct agency to begin the process of accessing services. They can assess the severity of the SUD and recommend the appropriate treatment options.

Treatment for SUD varies based on individual needs but may include inpatient/outpatient treatment, SUD counseling, therapy, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and support groups. It's important to discuss your options with a provider to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Building a strong support system is essential. This can include family, friends, or support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and your Life Coach.

Recovery often involves making significant lifestyle changes. This may include avoiding triggers, finding new hobbies, and improving overall health.

Relapses can happen, but it does not signify failure. It's important to have a plan in place to prevent and manage relapses.

Recovery is an ongoing process. It's not a quick fix but a journey that requires dedication, constant adherence, and perseverance. One day at a time.....

Getting to this point is progress. Small victories along the way should be acknowledged and celebrated. They indicate positive steps towards recovery. Spend less time in the rearview, and more time in the present.
