The holidays are not far off, so we suggest that you plan ahead to ensure they are joyful. Don’t be the person who gets treated after the good times are over. You should take care of your health now, because this time of year brings tension, celebration, and reunions that require good physical and mental condition.
For most, it’s a time of joy and family, gatherings, food, drinks, gifts, and seasonal entertainment. Others may not engage in the festivities, but it is difficult for them to completely escape the collateral effect of all that is going on. And, while it is mostly a time of merriment, there are aspects of the holiday season that are very unhealthy for some individuals.
Tensions rise as we lead in to November and December due to financial issues, relationships or lack thereof, lost loves and those who’ve passed on, and other factors. These can be minor issues, and don’t affect most people. When they add up for one person, though, and they have a heart condition, are a senior, in recovery, or already under pressure, anxiety can get out of control. Even worse, it can actually cause a heart attack or stroke.
Those who engage in alcohol or drug abuse tend to binge during the holidays, either for celebration or as a result of the tensions mentioned above. Individuals in recovery are vulnerable to relapse at this time of year as well. They may ruin parties, anger loved ones, break things, and, worst of all, cause an accident while driving. Too many holiday parties, that were otherwise enjoyable, end in tragedy due to alcohol and drug abuse.
Tarzana Treatment Centers wishes you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season. To that aim, we are suggesting preventative care so that you may enjoy them to the fullest. We want you to come see us before the tension rises and alcohol consumption increases, rather than when mounting health problems force you to see us after.
We provide preventative screenings at our clinics, including annual check-ups, cardio-pulmonary exams, and flu shots. Seniors can get many of these preventative services under Medicare coverage. For our friends suffering from substance abuse and addiction disorders, we can help with medical detoxification, residential and outpatient treatment, and Vivitrol treatment for alcohol or opiate craving reduction. Our mental health treatment services are available for minor to severe disorders.
Please think ahead this year. You will have a much better holiday season if you take a little time to prevent health problems. Better yet, you will start a good habit for the new year.
Telemedicine services are also available with online medical care, online mental health treatment, and online alcohol and drug treatment.

Medicare covers preventative care services that can help you to live healthier and happier in your senior years. Better yet, you can choose the provider for any of these health care services at any time. Tarzana Treatment Centers invites you to consider our clinics in the San Fernando and Antelope Valleys for these services.
Preventative care is a broad term describing health care services that are meant to help you avoid problems in the future. Medicare covers annual office visits, screenings, flu shots, and other preventative services. The list of services and detailed information can be found on this Guide to Medicare’s Preventive Services.
Since screenings are meant to confirm or eliminate the existence of some form of ailment, your preventative care provider is an important choice. You want to be sure that your provider can treat you or quickly refer you for treatment in the event of a positive test result. Your health deserves your focused attention, and we can make that convenient.
Tarzana Treatment Centers is a health care integration provider. Patients who come to our clinics know that they will receive more than just quality medical care. They are also comforted with the knowledge that we provide mental health, substance use, and HIV treatment services, along with many other services.
We hope that your preventative care finds you and keeps you in good health. It is our goal, though, to be prepared to provide you with the best treatment you can get when you need it. So we provide a wide array of health care services using the latest methods and technology. You can be certain that your physical and mental health is in good hands at Tarzana Treatment Centers.
Telemedicine services are also available with online medical care, online mental health treatment, and online alcohol and drug treatment.

When the health of family members is a concern, you want to trust their health care only to quality providers. This is especially true for children and seniors. It is also helpful if all of your health care providers are at one location.
Tarzana Treatment Centers provides many of the services you need to maintain good physical and mental health. We also contract with several public funding sources so we can provide these services to anyone who needs them.
Starting with our medical care clinics, physicians can attend to your physical health care needs in a clean and comfortable setting. If you suffer from a mental health disorder, our licensed professionals are available for therapy. Alcohol and drug addiction treatment is also available, including medical detoxification and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). For individuals who are HIV positive, our well-renowned HIV Services can help manage your special needs.
Growing up can be difficult. Our Youth Services staff specializes in treating teen alcohol and drug abuse, as well as adolescent mental health issues. These problems can tear the family apart, so our youth programs are built to repair the bonds that have been broken. Family members learn to accept one-another and work together, which strikes at the core of substance use disorders.
We provide senior health services covered by Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Along with medical care, mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment services are available. These issues often go ignored by family members and seniors suffer needlessly. We will provide services ranging from short-term therapy to residential treatment.
Tarzana Treatment Centers accepts Medi-Cal, Healthy Way LA (HWLA), and a few other forms of public funding for health care services. You can call to find out if you are covered. If you are not currently enrolled in a program, we can help you to apply. We also accept most forms of private insurance, and private payment on a sliding scale based on your ability to pay.
Please call today.
Telemedicine services are also available with online medical care, online mental health treatment, and online alcohol and drug treatment.

Tarzana Treatment Centers accepts Medicare and Medicare Advantage for a variety of healthcare services. Primary medical care is certainly a priority for seniors to maintain good health. We also cover medically necessary treatment for drug addiction and mental illness.
The senior years can be very enjoyable. This time of life also comes with many changes, both personal and environmental. The environmental changes include relocation, loss of friends and family, financial concerns, and even the amount of medical care you need. What this means is that you need to take care of yourself and remain aware of how environmental changes are affecting you. We aim to help you through these issues so they don’t become the focal point of your senior years.
Mental health concerns arise for seniors because of the changes they face. Obviously, when a long-time spouse or friend passes on there is grief to deal with. Depression can accompany the grief even for the strongest of characters. When the spouse who handled the finances and other concerns passes, it can leave the surviving spouse with great anxiety. Sadly, too many seniors suffer loneliness due to infrequent visits from family members.
Drug addiction can seemingly come out of nowhere for seniors. Individuals who rarely had a cocktail may be prescribed a painkiller for chronic pain. Initially, this is fine and the pain is relieved. But when they feel another type of relief, like an escape from the feeling of loneliness, they may continue to use the drug in increasing amounts and become addicted. If their doctor refuses to continue filling the prescription, they may even resort to using illegal drugs.
For seniors suffering mental health or drug addiction disorders, or co-occurring disorders, physical health can quickly become a casualty. It is important that you be treated for these problems right away so you don’t suffer needless medical problems.
We staff quality mental health professionals who will handle your case with sensitivity in a confidential setting. Our variety of treatment methods for drug addiction, including medical detoxification, counseling, and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), provides for a tailored treatment plan that will help you get back into life.

Retirement is a time in life when seniors can relax, travel, enjoy family, or anything else they want or have the means to do. Along with this milestone comes the human condition of aging. When positives and negatives mix in this way, it’s always a good idea to minimize the negatives. Taking care of your health, the physical and the mental, needs to be a priority so the golden years shine.
Tarzana Treatment Centers accepts Medicare for medical and mental health care services, so you can enjoy those later years of life.
All through life we are told to take good care of ourselves so we can live long and be healthy. Exercise and a balanced diet in adult years can minimize medical health issues for seniors. Even so, our bodies deteriorate over time and we can be more susceptible to illnesses as we get older. So seniors need to pay regular visits to a physician so these problems don’t overshadow the good times.
Even if you are in good physical health, though, events that come with aging can cause mental health to suffer. Depression and anxiety might be caused by the loss of loved ones, the need to relocate, or financial issues, for example. Seniors will often deny that mental health issues exist because they view them as a weakness, having been mentally stable all of their lives. If their physician refers them to an outside mental health professional for therapy, they are likely to decline.
Tarzana Treatment Centers understands the sensitive nature of senior mental health problems, and we can help you to feel more comfortable about them. Our physicians are trained to spot symptoms that may indicate mental health issues, and can provide quick referrals to one of our mental health professionals. This saves you time, travel, and the headache of added paperwork. You can also rest assured that your treatment is completely confidential and handled under one roof.
Another valuable benefit is that your health professionals work together and collaborate on treatment plans for you. You can be confident that we will provide you with the most effective health care for all of your needs.
Telemedicine services are also available with online medical care, online mental health treatment, and online alcohol and drug treatment.

The Latino population in the United States is aging as it grows.
