About West County Medical Corporation
The West County Medical Clinic of Long Beach, California, specializes in outpatient medication assisted treatment (MAT) services. Their multidisciplinary team specializes in narcotics replacement therapy. This is a non-profit facility. It’s part of the American Health Services network.
The first thing I noticed about this facility was its dedication to accessibility. Besides its easy to reach location, they accept walk-ins to make it easier to get seen and cut down on potential wait times. They’re open for counseling five days a week and provide dosing every day.
From Here to There
The great thing about choosing drug and alcohol addiction treatment in Long Beach is the plentiful public transportation options at your disposal, such as the Long Beach Transit Bus and Metro Blue Line. With these options, nothing in the Long Beach area is beyond your reach, so be sure to explore the community for supportive recovery resources you can utilize.
An Integrated Approach to Drugs
This location hosts two clinics under one umbrella: a medical care clinic and a substance abuse treatment center. While most treatment plans will coordinate your primary and addiction care services, this center is unique in that you can get those services in the same place. With both clinics falling under the same program, it’s easy for all of your providers to get on the same page regarding your care.
The clinic can also be a convenience to you, too. By consolidating more of your care to one location, you may find yourself spending less time traveling to appointments. Scheduling your appointments may be easier, too. In general, you can worry less about the logistics of your care and focus more on your recovery itself.
Convenient Scheduling
Another thing I like about this location is how its hours of operation make it easy to get the help you need. All their substance use related services are available between 5 AM and 12:30 PM during weekdays, letting you get in with your care team before work or other obligations.
