The process for mental health and substance abuse treatment is extremely simple, and it often happens quicker than it would take to make a doctor’s appointment. We have multiple licensed people on our admissions team, so there is no need to wait on hold to get answers.
The only thing you need for your first call is a description of the issues you or a loved one are experiencing. This helps us give you the most accurate information about what programs like ours look like and which level of care may be the best fit.
Beyond the first call, the only next step is a full assessment so we can match you with a therapist and case manager who fit your needs. From there, we help prepare accommodations that match your preferences, answer any final questions, and get you ready to start.
If you are viewing this page as an individual seeking treatment, you may be ready to admit to care, or you may still be unsure if now is the right time. In our experience, knowing when to get help is a deeply personal decision.
Often, people are afraid of losing independence or autonomy. At The Grove, we have seen this time and time again. That is why we value the flexibility of our program. Our priority is to find a schedule and accommodations that work for you, your work life, and your family. We urge you to remember that treatment can be only a blip in your life, a few months of support for a lifetime of better relationships with yourself and the people around you.
We have full resources available if you would like to learn more about the confidentiality and services provided through our men’s addiction program.
As a family member seeking treatment information for a loved one, whether a parent, partner, or friend, the process can feel daunting, confusing, and scary.
When someone expresses even a small willingness to get help, it is important to take the opportunity to help them get somewhere safe. We advise loved ones to understand the most important details and common phrasing used in mental health and substance abuse treatment:
Our initial calls with families are typically 30 minutes to an hour long. During this call, we can talk you through the clinical and emotional components of care so you can feel more at ease knowing that your loved one will be safe.
We invite professionals, and providers to explore our website, contact our team, or schedule a tour to learn more about our program and the comprehensive services we offer. Whether you have questions about a potential referral, levels of care, admissions criteria, or behavioral health resources, our admissions team is here to help.
Our goal is to make the referral process as clear and seamless as possible for your patients or clients. Our experienced clinical team provides evidence-based therapies, holistic modalities, and individualized care designed to meet the unique needs of each person who enters our care.
If you or a loved one is ready to get help, here’s everything you need to know about beginning the admissions process at The Grove. We’ve broken it down into simple steps so you can feel confident moving forward.
If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or other mental health challenges along with addiction, you’re not alone. Our dual diagnosis approach ensures both issues are treated together for long-term healing.
We offer a full continuum of care—including Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), outpatient treatment, and pet-friendly sober living homes. Each program is tailored to where you’re at in your recovery journey.
After making an admissions call, our team will help you understand what needs to happen before treatment begins. This may include confirming the level of care, reviewing insurance, answering questions, talking through what to bring, and preparing for arrival.
It is also normal to feel nervous, unsure, or overwhelmed before entering care, especially if this is your first time getting help. Our team can walk you through what to expect, how the first day will look, and how to prepare mentally.
A few simple ways to prepare before treatment include:
To find out which inpatient addiction treatment facilities accept Medicaid or Medical, you can use online directories such as SAMHSA’s Treatment Locator or California’s DHCS Substance Use Disorder Services Directory. You can also call the facilities directly and ask about their payment options and availability. Some facilities may have waiting lists or admission criteria that you need to meet before you can enroll.
Another option is to contact your local county behavioral health department and ask for a referral to an inpatient addiction treatment facility that accepts Medicaid or Medical. You may need to undergo an assessment to determine your level of need and the appropriate type of treatment for you. The county may also help you coordinate your care and provide additional support services such as case management, transportation, and aftercare.
In summary, Medicaid and Medical can pay for some or all of the cost of inpatient addiction treatment, depending on your eligibility and the type of facility you choose. However, not all facilities accept these types of coverage, so you need to do your research and find out which ones do. You can also contact your local county behavioral health department for assistance and referrals. Inpatient addiction treatment can be a life-changing experience that can help you overcome your substance abuse and addiction issues and start a new chapter in your life.
Asking for help isn’t easy—but it might be the most important decision you ever make. At The Grove, we’re here to make that step feel a little less scary. Whether you’re seeking drug addiction help in California for yourself, your son, or someone you love, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
