• Outpatient and Community Services:In June 29, 2020, LACADA was awarded the Client Engagement and Navigation Services (CENS) contract for Service Provider Area 7. This contract makes LACADA the lead SUD provider for all SPA 7, and an extension of SAPC's aggressive campaign to increase accessibility to treatment. As a result of an excellent First Quarter, SAPC increased the CENS contract for LACADA from 1,689,085 a year to $2,629,026 a year, or an increase of Drug Medical Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Services located in Santa Fe Springs, Los Angeles, and Long Beach, are bi-lingual services staffed with culturally competent Managers, Clinicians, Counselors, and case managers. 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.

• Youth Services: At LACADA we acknowledge that substance use is often a primary symptom of underlying issues within a teen's life. Thus, our youth team is focused on making sure each client has an individualized care plan to help address the needs of both the youth, as well as their family. When entering our services, youth (ages 13-17), transitional age youth (ages 18-20) can expect our staff to follow the motto of, 'No Shame, No Blame, No Judgement' -- where they receive unconditional positive regard and support. Our educators, counselors and clinicians are committed to providing a safe, confidential and judgement-free atmosphere, where youth can thrive in both their recovery and day-to-day lives.LACADA's youth programs offer a variety of services including prevention services, patient and family education, wraparound, outpatient treatment and mental health services, as well as other specialized care. LACADA strives to increase community involvement by educating local organizations, partners, and school faculty on the risks associated with drug and alcohol use amongst teens. LACADA knows that youth do not always understand that they have a problem with alcohol or drug use and can be hesitant to accept services; our counselors and clinicians are trained to roll with resistance meeting youth where they are at and allowing a gradual trust to be built. The heart and successes of LACADA's youth services, are rooted within the relationships built between our caring professionals and the youth and families we serve - often finding that our youth graduates return as peer advocates, volunteers or go on to seek higher education in the helping professions. Approximately 101 adolescents participated in the youth services prevention and intervention treatment programs in 2023/2024.Federal SAMHSA Grants:SAMHSA grants allow LACADA to enhance our existing services at our service locations.

Building Community of Recovery allow us to create a safety net of support for our clients. Adult Reentry Project allow us to provide wrap around care coordination to individuals reentering to community. Recovery Bridge Housing Program:According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria, a comprehensive SUD assessment should include the consideration of six dimensions to determine appropriate level of care (LOC) placement for patients diagnosed with a substance use disorder. Recovery/Living Environment (Dimension 6) explores an individual's recovery or living situation and is one of the six dimensions that should be factored into a level of care decision. Importantly, homelessness or lack of safe, stable housing does not in and of itself mean that a patient would be appropriate for placement in a residential treatment setting and therefore appropriately placed in LACADA's Recovery Bridge Housing defined by SAPC as a type of abstinence-based, peer supported housing that combines a subsidy for recovery residences with concurrent treatment in outpatient (OP), intensive outpatient (IOP), Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), or outpatient withdrawal management (OP-WM) settings. LACADA has 373 Recovery Bridge Housing beds and has provided Recovery Bridge Housing to 683 individuals in 2023/2024.HIV Services:LACADA received funding through the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health Division of HIV and STD Programs, to provide HIV Testing Services (HTS) - Social and Sexual Networks to those at high risk for infection, linkage to HIV care for persons testing HIV-positive, and education about and referral to appropriate biomedical prevention programs, with a focus on men who have sex with men (MSM); transgender persons; cisgender women of color; and injection/non-injection drug users in Los Angeles County. Social and Sexual Networks is a recruitment strategy whereby HIV testing, linkage to medical care for HIV-positive testers, and biomedical prevention education is disseminated through the community by working within the social and sexual networks of persons who are members of the community. The social and sexual network strategy was developed with the recognition that risk for HIV is confounded by many co-factors such as poverty, transphobia, homelessness, and sexual violence among many others. This strategy is based on the concept that individuals are linked together to form large social and sexual networks, and that infectious diseases often spread through these networks.LGBTQ-IA + Services:LACADA provides a robust continuum of care for our LGBTQ-IA+ community offering L.A. County's first LGBTQ-IA Recovery Bridge Housing, The Art House.
