Levels of care available in Long Beach
There are 5 residential rehab programs in Long Beach for people who need 24-hour support. Families often choose residential care when home life is unstable or when outpatient treatment has already been tried without success. Partial hospitalization programs, of which there are 5, offer several hours of treatment daily without an overnight stay. Intensive outpatient programs, with 8 listed, suit people stepping down who need structure but can manage at home. Outpatient programs, with 9 listed, are the least intensive and may include individual therapy, group counseling, and medication management. If someone drinks heavily or uses benzodiazepines, medical detox is usually advised before residential or outpatient care begins, since withdrawal can be dangerous without supervision.
Paying for rehab in Long Beach

Questions
Does Medi-Cal pay for rehab in Long Beach?
In Long Beach, ten facilities take Medicaid, known here in California as Medi-Cal. Whether it applies depends on the particular program and how intensive the care is.

Our free helpline can point you toward programs that work with Medi-Cal and tell you what to have ready when you call.

Detox is the medical process of clearing substances from the body and managing withdrawal symptoms. Rehab refers to the treatment that follows, which includes therapy, counseling, and support for lasting change. Long Beach has 3 detox programs and 5 residential programs, so some facilities may offer both. For alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal, medical supervision is important because symptoms can be serious.
