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.

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.

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.

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.
