About West County Medical Clinic
West County Medical Clinic offers outpatient medical and addiction care for adults in Long Beach, California. You can access comprehensive substance use disorder treatment to achieve your recovery goals. Established in 1983, they’re just one of several locations across southern and northern California.
While completing care in Long Beach, you’ll have multiple opportunities to explore your surroundings and enhance your journey. Their facility is close to Houghton Park. You can visit this spacious community park and participate in outdoor wellness activities in your spare time.
A Dedication to Accessible Care
A great feature I noticed was their dedication to affordable services. They accept Medicare, Medi Cal, and most commercial insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance or are underinsured, you can still get the help you need. You may be eligible for a discounted sliding scale fee based on income and family size. They also provide payment plans for your convenience.
I like that services are available in English and Spanish. You’ll benefit from an inclusive space where your needs are heard and met.
Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid and Alcohol Addictions
Their facility provides MAT for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. This approach can help you manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings with FDA approved medications such as Suboxone. They also provide overdose prevention medications, including Narcan. Along with taking medication, you’ll participate in group and individual counseling to address addiction’s underlying factors.
Integrated Care
Another thing that caught my eye was that they offer integrated primary and preventative care. They offer multiple health services, including STD testing, family planning, pain management, diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, and more. You’ll benefit from working on your physical health to further improve your recovery journey.
