SAMHSA quality guidance supports asking about licensing, accreditation, evidence-supported care, medications when clinically appropriate, family involvement, and continuing-care planning. Ask each question neutrally: “What is your current status?” “Who can verify it?” “How does it apply to my proposed care?” A facility may give different answers across programs or dates, so write down when and from whom you received each answer.
For Living Longer Recovery, mark the following confirmed from the stated California public record: legal entity Living Longer Recovery, Inc.; record number 330022BP; location at 68257 Calle Azteca, Desert Hot Springs, CA 92240; residential drug and alcohol detox; 14-person capacity; co-ed adults; and incidental medical services. Mark current availability, fit, admission, staffing, schedules, medications, insurance participation, room type, outcomes, accreditation, family involvement, and continuing-care arrangements as needs review or not established unless directly verified. Do not relabel the verified service as “medical detox.”
- Can you identify the current license or record and explain what it covers?
- Is there accreditation, and how can I independently verify its current status?
- How are evidence-supported care and medications addressed when clinically appropriate?
