Long-Term Inpatient Rehab in California

An extended stay at a rehabilitation center can provide the best results for many suffering from substance use. A longer time going through treatment can equate to a greater understanding and help better manage the underlying issues connected to one’s addiction.

Long-term drug and alcohol rehab in California includes programs that provide a stay between 30 to 90 days or longer. These programs are effective for all substance use disorders and involve the individual staying on the premises throughout the rehabilitation process. Residential rehab programs offer much of the same general counseling and therapy as other shorter treatment modules. Still, they can be more thorough due to their time with the patient and the lack of distractions living on-site provides.

Our team believes that, if possible, long-term drug rehabilitation is the best option for someone looking to maintain long-term sobriety. Detoxes, short-term rehabs, and outpatient programs can only do so much, and while it is possible to see lasting results, it is not as likely.

Why is long-term treatment a better option?

A long-term drug rehab ensures you address problems and gain knowledge on how to maintain sobriety.

These programs give you ample opportunity to:

  • Break down the problems connected to your addiction.
  • Address the underlying reasons why you started to abuse drugs and alcohol.
  • Receive more counseling.
  • Gain more sobriety time.
  • Create a more effective aftercare plan.

What Makes Drug Rehab Inpatient or Residential in California?

The term residential refers to a residence where an individual resides as a resident during their treatment. By definition, a residence is where a person lives short-term and long-term, distinguishing it from a temporary stay.

The California Department of Health Care Services classifies residential facilities as those offering non-medical services to eligible adults recovering from drug or alcohol addiction.

  • Residential treatment facilities are any facility, building, or group offering 24-hour residential non-medical treatment services.
  • Incidental Medical Services (inpatient) are optional services provided at a residential facility by a healthcare practitioner.

Additionally, DHCS in California has established varying levels of care designation, with residential and inpatient services falling within ASAM Levels of Care Certification.

Getting Help With Substance Use: The Basics

Paying for Treatment in California

California offers many treatment options for people struggling with substance use. Thankfully, they also provide opportunities for assistance with payment, thanks to the state’s Medicaid program. These options allow more people to get help for addiction recovery.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in California

Medicaid may be an option for those who cannot afford private health insurance and are not offered insurance through their employer. California’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, can pay for 100% of treatment costs. According to the California Health Insurance Marketplace 2023 Guide, over 1.8 million Californians enrolled in Medicaid plans during open enrollment for 2022.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in California

Private insurance is either purchased or provided by an employer. Private insurance usually plans dramatically lower treatment costs, but these policies can be expensive. For those who can’t afford private insurance yet don’t qualify for Medicare coverage, the state’s expanded Medicare program, Covered California, may provide relief.

The state’s health insurance marketplace is an expanded Medicaid program that offers financial assistance and access to plans from the 12 participating insurers, helping those who fall within this uninsured “gap.”

The following insurers are available through the California Health Insurance Marketplace for 2023:

  • Aetna CVS Health
  • Anthem Blue Cross of California
  • Blue Shield of California
  • Chinese Community Health Plan
  • Health Net
  • Kaiser Permanente
  • L.A. Care Health Plan
  • Molina Healthcare
  • Oscar Health Plan of California
  • Sharp Health Plan
  • Valley Health Plan
  • Western Health Advantage

Paying for Drug Rehab When Uninsured

It is important to note that getting someone help with substance use can be very time-sensitive. When someone needs help, getting insured before going to a drug rehab in California is sometimes not possible and adds unnecessary time to the situation.

If an individual isn’t eligible for insurance coverage through one of these options, over 1200 facilities offer private pay options. Over 400 of these provide a sliding-scale payment that is based on income. For example, the less income a person makes, the lower the cost of treatment.

Depending on the facility, the cost can be split into payments to help further make it affordable. You can contact one of the treatment specialists at DRS for more information on how to pay for treatment. Or contact the center directly.

DRS’ Evaluation of California Drug Rehabs

Drug rehab in California provides something for everyone. Overall, there is extensive access to treatment within large metropolitans and many rural communities across the state. Additionally, families and individuals can access numerous financial resources through Medicaid, private health insurance, and payment options offered through the various programs. However, the state struggles to incentivize people to access help, and those who want help through the state may not receive the services they need right away.

One good thing is that California law requires health plans to provide timely access to care. This means there are limits on how long a person waits to get health care appointments and telephone advice. The law covers mental health providers, counseling, and substance abuse professionals within a person’s health plan.

It is also important to note that close to all the substance use treatment facilities in the state have full licensing, certification, and accreditation; this is critical when searching for a good program. On top of this, California has an even mix of non-profit and for-profit substance use treatment. Generally, these programs are residential non-hospital settings, but outpatient options are available.

Paying for substance use treatment in California is another story altogether. Private drug rehab in the state is not cheap. The good things is that over half of the services in the state offer a sliding fee scale or payment options.

Overall, California offers pan a abundance of resources to it residents. If you need drug rehab services in California, it is recommended to speak with multiple programs, arrange payment ahead of time, and weigh the options between private and programs provided through Medi-Cal.

  • The CBHA is a statewide association of non-profit agencies dedicated to providing mental health and substance use disorder programs and services to those in need across the state.

Safety and Prevention

In California’s drug epidemic Naloxone, or Narcan, is an extremely vital tool in fighting the overdose epidemic. The drug reverses the effects of an opioid overdose and allows an individual to regain the function of their body so they can continue to live. Getting Naloxone in your area can be relatively simple and potentially save a life.

It is important to remember most people who need this life-saving drug are still at risk. If an individual is using opiates, they need to get into a drug rehabilitation center as soon as possible. Otherwise, they are likely going to overdose again. Drugs like Naloxone play a key role in battling the substance use epidemic, but there is no replacement for a treatment program and professional help.

More Information

Michael Leach is a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, who has over 5 years of experience working in the field of addiction. He spent his career working under the board-certified Addictionologist Dr. Rohit Adi. His experience includes working with families during their loved one’s stay in treatment, helping those with substance abuse issues find treatment, and teaching life skills to patients in a recovery atmosphere. Though he has worked in many different areas of rehabilitation, the majority of his time was spent working one on one with patients who were actively withdrawing from drugs. Withdrawal and the fear of going through it is one biggest reason why an addict continues to use and can be the most difficult part of the rehabilitation process. His experience in the withdrawal atmosphere has taught him that regardless of what approach a person takes to get off drugs, there are always mental and emotional obstacles that need to be overcome. He believes having someone there to help a person through these obstacles can make all the difference during the withdrawal process.
