Frequently asked questions
How long is detox?
For most people, medically supervised detox lasts about 3 to 7 days. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can take longer and can be dangerous without medical care. A program will estimate your timeline at intake, after an assessment.
Does insurance cover rehab in California?
Usually, at least in part. Most private health plans must cover substance use treatment, and Medi-Cal covers it through Orange County’s Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS). Call the member services number on your card and ask what levels of care are covered and what you will owe.
What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
Partial hospitalization (PHP) is full-day treatment, usually 5 days a week, while you sleep at home or in sober living. Intensive outpatient (IOP) is fewer hours, often 3 hours a day, 3 to 5 days a week, so many people keep working or studying.
How do I check if a rehab is licensed?
In California, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) licenses residential programs and certifies outpatient programs. Every listing here comes from DHCS data, and you can confirm any program on the DHCS facility listings page. Ask the program for its license number, too.
