The Basics
With locations in Los Angeles and Buena Park, California, Korean Community Services is a community-oriented organization founded in 1975 that provides flexible counseling programs to clients struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Treatment is aimed primarily at Korean Americans and other local immigrant communities with programs available for individuals and families alike on an outpatient basis.
Treatment and Staff
Before beginning a program, all clients go through an initial intake and assessment process to help staff members develop their care plans. Although detox and crisis stabilization services are not available on-site, those in need can get referrals to nearby programs as necessary. Each treatment plan can include individual, group and family therapy.
Counselors use evidence-based treatment practices including CBT and DBT. Though topics may vary, groups often cover life skills, trauma-informed care, financial education, parenting classes, trigger identification, relapse prevention, anger management and other practical skills. Basic dual diagnosis support is available along with medication management. Clients attending counseling for addiction are also required to attend regular 12-step meetings as well.
The staff at Korean Community Services consists of psychologists, LMFTs, case managers, CADCs and additional Master’s-level clinicians.
Extras
The organization also offers court-ordered drug and alcohol programs, personality tests, art therapy and student-specific counseling (available with a school referral). Family and couples therapy is also provided and MediCal is accepted. Korean and Spanish-language services are available as well. Finally, those who complete a primary care plan can work with staff to develop stepped down aftercare plans as well.
In Summary
Overall, Korean Community Services is a community-oriented behavioral health facility with many flexible and affordable programs aimed at the local Korean community. Treatment includes evidence-based care, dual diagnosis support, educational groups and culturally-specific approaches to counseling. While those in need of more intensive psychiatric help may want to seek out additional aid, Korean Community Services is a strong resource for those in the area.
