Drug & Alcohol Rehabs in California: Finding a California Rehab
There are lots of choices when it comes to drug and alcohol treatment in the state of California. While you’re likely to find several nearby options, it’s important to consider the quality of the rehab. You want to find a treatment center that meets your need, offers evidence-based therapies, and provides aftercare beyond the formal treatment program. So consult with your doctor, do your research, and read reviews before selecting a California rehab.
Where Are Rehabs in California Located?
Popular locations for treatment centers in California include rehabs in Orange County, San Diego County, Los Angeles County, and the Bay Area. Many of these facilities are located around major cities, but you can also find treatment in nearly every part of the state, from the Central Valley, to the Inland Empire, and even in remote parts of Northern California.
Does Insurance Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab in California?
Yes, plenty of rehab programs in California accept insurance plans. For example, AAC’s Southern California rehab, Laguna Treatment Center, is in-network with Elevance Health—formerly Anthem Blue Cross in California—and many other insurance companies, such as Kaiser Permanente, United Healthcare, and more. AAC also offers a self-payment option and may work with patients to set up affordable payment plans if necessary.
More than half of rehab facilities in California accept private insurance, over 80% accept cash or self-payment, over 30% accept Medicaid, and more than 60% offer a sliding scale payment system.1
Do Rehab Centers in California Treat Alcohol and Drug Addiction?
California rehabs treat people addicted to alcohol, cocaine, stimulant medications, prescription opioids, heroin, and other substances.
A large fraction of those who suffer from addiction also struggle with one or multiple mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Many rehab centers in the state of California, including Laguna Treatment Center, can also treat co-occurring conditions with an integrated approach and evidence-based care that addresses both disorders simultaneously.
Levels of Care Available at California Rehabs
Addiction treatment is not a one-size-fits-all program. In fact, there are multiple levels of care available. Which is right for you is determined by your individual needs. Before seeking treatment, it’s a good idea to consult your doctor, mental healthcare provider, or an addiction care specialist, who can assess your situation and provide an appropriate treatment plan, which may include:
Detox. Medically managed detox is the process in which your body works to clear itself of the substance. It’s done under the supervision of healthcare professionals, who can keep you safe and prescribe medications to manage the symptoms associated with withdrawal and to keep you as comfortable as possible. Since detox is often only the first step in a more comprehensive treatment plan, you will likely transition to an inpatient or outpatient program following detox at a California facility.
Inpatient or residential treatment program. Depending on your individual circumstances and needs, you may receive treatment in an inpatient facility, where you reside for the duration of treatment. The services provided typically include a combination of behavioral therapies, individual and group counseling, mutual-help groups, and medications (if necessary).
Outpatient Care in California Treatment Centers
You may transition to an outpatient program following inpatient care, or you may begin treatment in an outpatient program. Outpatient rehabs allow you to live at home or in a sober living environment while you participate in therapies and counseling sessions that look similar to inpatient programs but allow you to maintain work, school, and home responsibilities during treatment. Various levels of outpatient care and services exist to provide treatment based on your needs. These include:3
Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs). PHPs, sometimes called day treatment, typically provide 20 hours of treatment or more per week.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs). IOPs, for instance, generally provide somewhere between 9 and 19 hours of structured programming each week at the facility.
Traditional outpatient programs. Standard outpatient programs usually provide less than 9 hours of treatment a week.
