Residential Addiction Treatment in California

Residential addiction treatment centers in California address all forms of substance use disorder through live-in programs that combine medical care, evidence-based therapies, and peer support.

In California, residential addiction treatment 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.

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.
