Treatment rules and programs in California

Who oversees treatment

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) licenses residential nonmedical alcohol and other drug treatment facilities and also certifies many of them under its AOD certification standards.

Prescription monitoring

California's prescription drug monitoring program is CURES (Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System), operated by the California Department of Justice. It tracks dispensed controlled substance prescriptions so prescribers, pharmacists and regulators can review them.

Public coverage for treatment

Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program. It covers substance use disorder treatment through the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System, a county opt-in continuum of care based on ASAM criteria.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

California Health and Safety Code section 11376.5 gives limited protection from charges for drug possession or being under the influence to people who seek medical help for an overdose in good faith, and to the person overdosing. It does not cover selling or giving drugs.

Court-ordered treatment

California's expanded definition of grave disability (SB 43) lets a severe substance use disorder, alone or with a mental health disorder, support involuntary holds and LPS conservatorship when a person cannot meet basic needs for safety or medical care.

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

What gay-friendly rehab looks like

The programs on this page are residential or hospital programs that report both an LGBTQ program or group and a program for adult men to SAMHSA. That doesn't mean they serve only gay men; it means they have structured groups where gay, bisexual and queer clients can talk openly.

Residential care gives you distance from triggers, a daily structure of therapy and support, and time to rebuild routines in California or wherever home is.
