Shields for Families is a treatment facility located in Lynwood, CA, dedicated to serving women and pregnant individuals struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. The facility recognizes that addiction rarely exists in isolation—many individuals face simultaneous mental health challenges that require integrated, compassionate care. By offering specialized programs tailored to the unique needs of women, pregnant women, and postpartum mothers, Shields for Families provides a supportive environment where patients receive evidence-based treatment alongside therapeutic support.
Shields for Families offers both outpatient and residential short-term treatment options to meet patients at different stages of recovery. Outpatient programs allow individuals to receive structured therapy and counseling while maintaining connection to their home, work, and family—an effective option for those with mild to moderate substance use concerns or those transitioning from higher levels of care. The residential short-term program (30 days or less) provides 24-hour clinical support and a controlled environment for individuals requiring intensive stabilization and treatment. Both levels of care address co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, recognizing that conditions like depression, anxiety, and trauma often fuel substance abuse. Specialized programming for pregnant and postpartum women ensures that clinical care addresses the distinct medical, emotional, and practical needs of mothers and mothers-to-be, with attention to reproductive health and family planning during recovery.
Shields for Families works to make treatment accessible by accepting various payment options. The facility understands that financial concerns can delay or prevent people from seeking help, and staff are available to discuss payment arrangements and eligibility. If you have insurance coverage, treatment for mental health and substance use disorders is protected under federal parity laws, meaning your plan should cover addiction and mental health services at the same rate as other medical services.
