Alcohol Use Disorder Counseling

The program provides outpatient substance use disorder services for men and women age 18 and older in the greater Los Angeles area. Services are targeted, but not restricted, to African American residents of South Central Los Angeles and Watts.

The program provides clients with individualized treatment plans and information and referral to other community resources.

The day treatment unit provides a structured environment for recovering substance abusers and offers weekend social and recreational activities.

The specialized drug use disorder information and referral is provided through the Coastal Region Community Resource Center and includes centralized intake and assessment, crisis intervention and specialized information and referral. Client services include case management, on-site medical screenings and transportation to drug treatment.
