Services include crisis intervention, individual counseling, group counseling, family counseling, support groups, instruction in community-based prevention and diversion strategies and workshops in health education, life skills and parenting classes. Outpatient served 1,216 clients in 2023/2024. Outpatient also holds 7 field-based service locations where staff provide treatment services to patients who are active in other types of programs that don't offer SUD services. The four field based service locations are connected to Bellflower Middle School, El Rancho Unified School District, L.A. LGBT Center, Victory Starts Now, Christ Center Ministries, Transitional Living Homes, and Homeboy Industries. The most striking difference between this program and its corresponding program site in Santa Fe Springs is that Downtown was created to combat homelessness, due to the facility's proximity to Skid Row.

Residential Treatment Centers:Allen House is a licensed 60-bed residential treatment program offering men and women, age 18 and over, a comprehensive and integrated treatment model to address the complex needs of persons with substance use and/or co-occurring disorders. The Allen House offers a fully customizable program of recovery, with length of treatment varying based on the needs of each individual entering the program. The Allen House offers individual counseling sessions, group sessions, narcotics anonymous meetings, HIV/AIDS education, support and relapse prevention, psychosocial assessments, evaluation, and referral.Alice's House opened July 1, 2019 and is a licensed 18-bed residential treatment program specializing in treating pregnant and post-partum women with a substance use disorder ("SUD") and their infants who often face critical barriers to optimal care such as legal consequences. The goal of these efforts is to protect the fetus or infant from drug exposure, but these legal consequences may drive women away from available care, seeking care or continuing to engage in care thereby potentially leading to worse outcomes for both the fetus and mother. The shame associated with a SUD during pregnancy, motherhood can be overwhelming, and Alice's House provides a safe home-like environment to learn new parenting skills while simultaneously treating their addiction.Nuestra Casa is a licensed 45 bed residential treatment program offering men, women and transgender persons, age 18 and over, a comprehensive and integrated treatment model to address the complex needs of systems impacted and vulnerable persons with substance use and co-occurring disorders.

The program offers a homelike environment designed to interrupt the cycle of arrest, hospitalization, and release to the street. LACADA's primary focus is to stabilize persons with severe mental health and assist the individual with building a supportive foundation that sets them up for a successful transition to a transitional living facility and possibly permanent supportive housing. Safe Haven opened its doors on April 4, 2022 and has approximately 30 patients with an average length of stay for 45 days.The Female Community Reentry Program (FCRP) previously known as CCTRP currently serves incarcerated women with 45 days to 2 years remaining on their sentence by providing them a transitional living facility located in Santa Fe Springs. During their stay, participants received counseling and supportive services to enable their success in the community. FCRP works to ensure that clients leave with the ability to live crime and drug-free lifestyles, gain employment, and strengthen family relationships. All of which reduce rates of recidivism. FCRP increased its capacity to 112 women to date and 147 women received services in 2023/2024 fiscal year.The Community Prisoner Mother Program allows housing for 24 participants and up to 40 children. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation pursuant to California Penal Code Sections 3410 through 3424 established the Community Prisoner Mother Program (CPMP). The CPMP provides an opportunity for pregnant individuals and mothers with one or more children, six years of age or younger, the opportunity to be housed with their children in a supervised facility away from the prison setting. The primary focus of the CPMP is to reunite mothers with their children and re-integrate them back into society as productive citizens by providing a safe, stable, wholesome, and stimulating environment. CPMP also looks to establish stability in the parent-child relationship, provide the opportunity for mothers who are incarcerated individuals to bond with their children and strengthen the family unit.CPMP received its first participants in June 2022. We first received four women, one pregnant, one pending reunification with her infant child, and two women with infant children. We currently have eight participants with five children, and three pending reunifications with their children.
