About Kaiser Permanente Union City Medical Offices

Based in Union City, California, Kaiser Permanente Union City Medical Offices is a pharmacy and health facility that offers addiction treatment to adults aged 18 and older and their families, including LGBTQIA+ individuals. Those with concurrent mental health conditions can also receive treatment here. In terms of payment, they accept Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO), HMO, Medi-Cal Managed Care, Point-of-Service Plan (POS) and Senior Advantage.

You’ll initially undergo assessments for your addiction and mental health issues. After this, you will be given a unique treatment plan, which may include detox services; group, family, or individual therapy; and addiction education.

Detox can be done from home with the ongoing support of a medical team or as an outpatient service. More intensive treatment options are available on request either at the hospital or a residential center. Since detox can be highly uncomfortable, with tricky withdrawal symptoms and cravings to navigate, it’s important to make sure you’re well supported during this time. With this in mind, you should try to choose the option you feel most comfortable with for your recovery.

The team here will recommend one or more therapy options as part of your treatment plan, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. 12 Step or similar support program options are also available to provide peer support and a sense of community.

Short and long-term medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also available as a relapse prevention method and to help you manage difficult withdrawal symptoms. You may be prescribed buprenorphine (Subutex) to treat opiate cravings and shorten the length of your detox. For long term MAT, you may be prescribed buprenorphine instead of methadone.
