About Behavioral Health Services NCADD of the South Bay
Situated in Torrance, California, NCADD of the South Bay functions under the auspices of Behavioral Health Services, Inc. (BHS), a nonprofit organization founded in 1973. This center delivers a comprehensive array of services, including programs for youth, outpatient therapy, DUI/DUI MAT initiatives, and the Recovery Incentives Program, all aimed at assisting individuals in their recovery endeavors.
NCADD Torrance specializes in outpatient treatment for substance use and mental health challenges among adolescents aged 12 to 18. The offerings include assessments, treatment planning, education on alcohol and drugs, individual and group therapy, along with recreational activities. These services are strategically scheduled after school and on Saturdays to better fit the schedules of young participants.
The center's outpatient substance abuse services focus on each client's specific requirements, concentrating on strategies for preventing relapse and incorporating recovery practices into everyday life. The duration of the programs generally ranges from 3 to 9 months, with sessions available 1 to 5 days per week based on the individual’s needs.
NCADD Torrance also provides a DUI Program for those who have been convicted of offenses related to driving under the influence. This includes educational classes, support group meetings, face-to-face interviews, and counseling sessions. Additionally, the DUI Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program offers vital support for individuals facing opioid or polysubstance use issues, providing education, screening, treatment referrals, and counseling support.
In collaboration with UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs, NCADD Torrance is involved in the Recovery Incentives Program. This initiative rewards Medi-Cal recipients with gift cards worth up to $599 as a motivation to remain abstinent from stimulant use, with compliance verified through negative drug tests. The program aims to provide meaningful incentives that bolster clients in their recovery process.
