What Is Inpatient Addiction Treatment?

Inpatient addiction treatment — also called residential rehab — means living at a licensed treatment facility for the duration of your program. Unlike outpatient treatment, inpatient care removes you from the environment where substance use is occurring, provides 24/7 medical and clinical support, and delivers intensive individual therapy, group therapy, and medical detox in a structured setting. For moderate-to-severe addiction, inpatient is the most effective level of care available. Programs we connect callers with in the Los Angeles area are licensed by the California Dept of Health Care Services (DHCS) and follow evidence-based treatment protocols.

Does Insurance Cover Inpatient Rehab in California?

In most cases, yes. California's Mental Health Parity Act (Senate Bill 855), which took full effect on January 1, 2021, requires all state-regulated health plans to cover addiction treatment at every level of care — including inpatient — the same as any other medical condition. If no in-network bed is available, your insurer must cover out-of-network treatment at in-network rates.
