Common questions about drug rehab in California
Consider these factors when choosing a California drug rehab: Level of care needed (detox, residential, outpatient), location preferences (near home or away), treatment specialties (dual diagnosis, trauma, specific substances), insurance acceptance, and amenities (luxury vs. standard). Our directory lets you compare all 15 facilities on these criteria.
Inpatient/Residential: You live at the facility 24/7, typically for 30-90 days. Best for severe addiction or those needing a structured environment. Examples: Cliffside Malibu, Passages Malibu.
Outpatient (IOP/PHP): You live at home and attend treatment sessions during the day. Best for mild-to-moderate addiction or as step-down care. Examples: Renaissance Recovery, Twin Town Treatment Centers.
Several facilities in our directory accept Medi-Cal, including Twin Town Treatment Centers, Tarzana Treatment Centers, Healthy Living Residential, and Salvation Army ARC (which offers no-cost treatment). Always verify current Medi-Cal acceptance directly with the facility, as coverage can change.
