Hi all -

So quickly, I’m trying to find a program (IOP or similar) to deal with some PTSD I’ve recently uncovered which I was drinking away in a dangerous manner. I’ve come to terms and I was inpatient for a week and got some medications that seems to be really making a difference and they suggested IOP when I got home. Well Loma Linda medical is the closest to me but they are only offering 12 step program that is both spiritual/religious as well as very limiting. I very rarely use thc but I do and will likely continue (I average once a month if that) which I was honest about. They flat out refused me? And didn’t offer me any other alternative aside from religious based.

I’m in the San Bernardino/ Redlands area and I have good insurance but need some suggestions on where I may find some help. The alcohol is absolutely a problem but my real problem is obviously the ptsd from my past that needs to be addressed along with the alcohol.

Any help would be great. Thank you all.
