Covered services typically include medical detox, inpatient/residential rehab, outpatient counseling, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

Understanding Treatment Options in California
Effective addiction treatment requires at least 90 days in a structured program, according to NIDA research. In California, treatment centers offer multiple levels of care along a continuum — from medically supervised detoxification (3-10 days) through residential inpatient programs (30-90 days), partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient counseling.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone reduces opioid overdose deaths by 50% (CDC data). Many California facilities now integrate MAT with behavioral therapies including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing for comprehensive dual-diagnosis care.
Treatment centers that match program intensity to individual patient needs achieve the strongest long-term recovery outcomes, according to NIH research. Most insurance plans cover substance abuse treatment under federal parity law. under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial plans and Medicaid must cover substance abuse treatment at parity with medical care.
