Outpatient treatment is a 6-9 month program available to men, women and their families living in the Compton and South Los Angeles communities. Participants also include Mini House residential treatment clients, University Mini House Transitional Living and alumni as well as men and women referred by mental health, employment assistant programs, court mandates, department of Public Social Services, and Department of Children and Family Services. This program also includes an outreach component that reaches into the community to promote prevention, impart education and enact intervention.
Outreach also serves as an avenue that provides additional resources to our client base such as mental health services, where secondary diagnosis of mental and medical illness is case managed in a triage with providers who specialize in these services within the community.
Other areas addressed in outpatient treatment that lie beyond the primary diagnosis of substance abuse include social barriers such as family reunification, health care and limited education.
Outpatient treatment consists of four phases:
Crisis interventions-during the first 30 days, clients are assisted with meeting basic needs such as food shelter, clothing and verification of the clients in compliance with court mandates to treatment.
Treatment-once the client's immediate needs have been stabilized, the client can begin to establish goals that will support their success in abstaining from drug and alcohol use. A treatment plan is developed to address these areas and is reinforced through individual and group counseling sessions offered by experienced staff.
Transition-as clients enter their second 90-120 days of treatment, clients are now ready to incorporate additional goals with treatment goals. Life skills are an important component of this phase as clients prepare to function within a social construct. This includes financial and household management. Social re-entry is case managed by our staff to assist clients in securing government income support, establishing bank accounts, and securing stable housing.
Vocational rehabilitation-treatment continues while clients are encouraged to establish new priorities around career planning i.e. education, and employment. Clients have the opportunity to begin this process through in-house programs such as GED prep courses and career planning offered through a partnership with the West Los Angeles College, TRIO Educational Opportunity Center and Talent Search program.
