<p><strong>ABOUT JANUS OF SANTA CRUZ</strong></p> <p>Janus of Santa Cruz, located south of San Francisco, offers a <strong>co-ed or a women-only perinatal program, day treatment, an intensive outpatient (IOP) program, and sober living homes</strong> for adults struggling with chemical dependency or <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a>. <strong>Medical detoxification</strong> services are offered on-site and court-ordered educational courses are available for DUI offenders.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Treatment begins with a chemical dependency assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care. If detoxification is necessary, clients are referred to the <strong>28-day residential program</strong> to assuage sub-acute withdrawal symptoms. Clients recovering from opiate/opioid dependency may be prescribed a <strong>medication-assisted therapy</strong> regimen, such as <strong>methadone or buprenorphine</strong>, to minimize the discomfort of withdrawal and help curb opioid cravings.</p> <p>Evidence-based treatment incorporates <strong>group and individual counseling,</strong> cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing (MI) techniques. Clients also participate in <strong>recovery education</strong>, electroencephalogram bio-feedback, relapse prevention classes, skills development workshops, a <strong>family program,</strong> and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare planning</a>. Clients also have the opportunity to attend on-site 12-step meetings.</p> <p>Along with evidence-based treatment approaches, Janus also incorporates a range of holistic treatments into programming, including <strong>weekly Qigong sessions, bi-weekly yoga classes, acupuncture, and art therapy.</strong> Residence also enjoy regular excursions to the beach, gym, and hiking outings.</p> <p>Janus of Santa Cruz also offers a number of outpatient-based treatment programs, including <strong>three flexible day treatment programs</strong>: a co-ed program for men and women, a women’s-only program, and a less-intensive afternoon program. In addition, the facility offers an intensive outpatient (IOP) program, which includes nine hours of weekly treatment, as well as a lifetime aftercare program for program alumni, which meets once per week.</p> <p>Lifetime Aftercare Groups are available to anyone completing treatment.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>CARF-accredited, Janus of Santa Cruz employs a <strong>multidisciplinary staff</strong> comprised of physicians experienced in addiction medicines, certified alcohol and drug counselors, licensed therapists, program directors, and a DUI program director.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The facility’s website describes accommodations as having “a supportive, safe and comfortable environment.” The women’s-only perinatal program houses children up to the age of three and offers <strong>on-site childcare</strong>. Official photographs show lounges with open seating, a bedroom with a twin bed, and a dining room.</p> <p>Clients have access to a nearby gym, a swimming program, and hiking trails.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The nine former clients polled by Rehabs.com <strong>approved of most areas of the facility.</strong> The six alums polled on staff's experience and training awarded an average of four out of five stars. “Staff really want to help the clients. They don't give up on you no matter how many times you've relapsed,” alum C.P.K. wrote.</p> <p>One anonymous alum gave a one-star rating for the facility's holistic programming options and wrote: “The counseling was great..they helped with care and sterness.” Another anonymous alum agreed, offering a rating of four stars for the facility’s individual counseling, writing: “Had been there before and it helped me to get back involved with sober living.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The four loved ones polled by Rehabs.com had <strong>mixed opinions concerning the facility</strong>. Although most individuals generally appreciated the facility, <strong>some family members questioned and the facility’s commitment to aftercare and billing practices</strong> — or an apparent lack thereof. “When talking about cost, it felt like I was being pressured into paying the complete cost. I was not told there was a way to finance the treatment,” one family member wrote.</p> <p>Describing Janus as having “a very supportive environment,” G.M. wrote: “They genuinely had his (client’s) well being in mind with every step.” Echoing this opinion, Greg, a parent of a client, added: "I closely followed our son during his lengthy treatment at Janus. We found it to be an excellent organization with very caring people.”</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to its website, Janus accepts <strong>most insurance plans</strong> and offers discounts for low-income clients. <strong>A sliding pay scale</strong> is available based on income level for self paying clients. Many of the facility’s programs are also <strong>Medi-Cali billable</strong>, however, private insurance does not cover DUI programs.</p>
