Long-Term Rehab in California

Long-term residential rehab in California provides extended care — typically six months to a year — for people with severe addictions, co-occurring mental health conditions, or prior treatment episodes.

In California, long-term residential rehab is delivered under state licensing by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). Licensed residential facilities meet clinical standards including 24-hour staff coverage, licensed counselors and medical staff, evidence-based programming, and discharge planning. Most accept private insurance, Medi-Cal through participating counties, and some offer sliding-scale or scholarship-based admission for those without coverage.

Extended residential treatment lasting 6 months or more, often in therapeutic community settings. The specific mix of therapies, length of stay, and amenities varies by facility — which is why our directory organizes facilities by county and city, so you can find programs that match your location, insurance, and clinical needs.
