Addiction Treatment Programs

Drug Rehab
In California, a drug rehab provides a combination of therapy and education to help clients overcome substance misuse. In a drug treatment program you’ll not only receive treatment, but you’ll participate in activities, receive peer support, and learn how to have fun without substance use.

Insurance Coverage

Self-pay options
Paying the full cost of rehab in California yourself is called self-pay. Some people write a check, some electronically send payment to the treatment center, and others get a medical loan. There may be different fee structures depending on the level of care.
Sliding scale payment assistance
How do you pay for rehab in California? A good option is to look for programs with a sliding scale payment plan. You may need to provide financial documentation for your income and family size, but the lower fees will make it much easier to get the care you need.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
In California, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you identify wrong thinking that can create impulsive actions. This makes it much easier to reach long-term recovery. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and CBT may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients identify distorted thinking, replace it with rational thinking, and change their responses accordingly.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy in California can provide a way to process past events and create better coping strategies as you work through substance use treatment. Both inpatient treatment and outpatient care can include trauma-informed therapy, which helps you create a feeling of safety, access peer support, embrace the validity of your feelings, and create healthy coping skills.
Rational Behavioral Therapy
Rational behavior therapy in California helps you address the false beliefs that are holding you back from a better life. This therapy may include role-playing to help you imagine specific situations that might trigger a negative reaction so you can practice challenging irrational beliefs and choosing a more positive response.
