About WestCare Belmont Health and Wellness
WestCare provides substance use treatment for adults 18 and older in Fresno, California. The Belmont Avenue location offers residential and outpatient treatment with various programs to help clients overcome addiction.
Ambulatory Detox
Sometimes guests put off detox due to fear of the withdrawal symptoms and the pressures of being away from home. WestCare’s ambulatory detox allows guests to have the support to recover while living at home and getting medications and monitoring to manage their symptoms. This service may appeal to many people who want to continue with family or work obligations while receiving treatment.
Withdrawal Medications
One of the features of their program includes medication assisted treatment (MAT). They use FDA approved medicines to help relieve harsh withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings for guests struggling with opioid or alcohol addiction.
The team understands that medication will ease symptoms but won’t target the underlying conditions that contribute to addiction. MAT is combined with counseling sessions using proven methods like cognitive behavioral therapy to address the root causes of substance use.
Wraparound Care
The addiction program here includes job counseling and training to help prepare clients for a productive life after treatment. This service equips them with the tools and resources to be independent and thrive in their chosen fields.
Case management is available to provide connections to outside agencies for ongoing recovery. They can assist with housing, transportation, and mental health support. They also have housing opportunities for guests who want to continue having structured support while working on lasting sobriety.
The center also provides inclusive treatment for the LGBTQ+ community, Veterans, and those with HIV/AIDS.
