Positive Steps Inc

Positive Steps, Inc. is an addiction treatment center in Lakewood, California that has served the greater Los Angeles area for over two decades.

The program offers outpatient substance use counseling in individual and group formats, assessments, drug and alcohol testing and support for co occurring disorders.

It's also deeply embedded in the court and social services systems of Los Angeles County.

Working With Court Mandated Clients

Working with people involved in the justice system is central to how Positive Steps operates rather than a side service.

The team here works directly with the Children's Family Court, Los Angeles Superior Court and Social Services cases.

That means its programming is built to satisfy legal requirements along with your clinical goals.

Anger management, domestic violence intervention, parenting education and child and elder abuse counseling are in the same plan as substance use care.

If you're facing a court order or a family court case intertwined with addiction this can be life changing services because you're not commuting to two different places..

Many rehab programs treat the substance use and leave the legal documentation and mandated classes to someone else but not here.

At this center a criminal justice or forensic client can address both tracks in one place including cases involving intimate partner violence or trauma histories.

Sliding Scale Fees and Vouchers

Positive Steps accepts Access to Recovery vouchers and Social Service vouchers, offers sliding fee scales and takes PayPal along with other payment methods.

That combination helps ensure a model designed for people who would be priced out of typical private rehab. It shows the center is here to help you no matter your financial situation.

Evening sessions are available to fit work and school schedules to serve people who cannot pause their lives for treatment.

Care is available when you need on your schedule so you can find treatment when you're ready.
