Janus of Santa Cruz



About Janus of Santa Cruz
Janus of Santa Cruz is a drug rehab and treatment facility that serves adults and pregnant women with substance use addictions. Care is offered in an outpatient setting with residential programs for adults as well as a program for pregnant women and mothers with children aged five and younger. As its name states, you’ll find ’em in sunny Santa Cruz, California.
Sub Acute Medication Assisted Treatment
There’s a continuum of support services so that you can focus on your recovery. For example, they have what’s known as a “sub acute“ medically supervised withdrawal management program. This is for individuals who have a mild dependency on drugs and alcohol and need supportive medical care as they wean their bodies of toxins.
Once stabilized, evidence-based cognitive (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapies (DBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) will be applied. There are also screenings for co-occurring disorders.
Many people will benefit from the supportive aftercare program, such as life skills development to help you make healthy life choices. These include money management and employment training to help you lead an independent lifestyle.
This organization provides medication assisted treatment (MAT) to manage ongoing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Methadone and buprenorphine are available.
Prenatal Addiction Recovery
Their prenatal addiction recovery support services are robust. Their residential treatment program provides a safe and inviting environment for pregnant women, mothers, and their children. Young children can live onsite with their mothers while pregnant women receive supportive prenatal care including post NICU services once they deliver their babies.
Moms, kids, and everyone else can partake in Santa Cruz’s laid-back lifestyle. The center is right by the beach, and Schwan Lagoon is a couple of blocks away if you want to stretch your legs.
