My Medi-Cal Drug Rehab Center
The financial burden of getting treatment for addiction can be overwhelming, but Medi-Cal drug rehab coverage can make a real difference, offering essential coverage for individuals seeking drug rehab services. Medi-Cal allows individuals to receive the care they need without the added stress of significant out-of-pocket expenses, making recovery more accessible and achievable.
Buddy’s Ranch is proud to be a trusted provider of Medi-Cal drug rehab services. At Buddy’s Ranch, providing alcohol and drug rehab, we’re here to guide you through every step of your recovery journey with compassion and professionalism.
What is Medi-Cal?
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program. It provides insurance to low-income individuals and families and offers essential healthcare services, including addiction treatment. Medi-Cal, funded by both the state and federal governments, ensures that eligible Californians have access to affordable medical care, including substance use disorder services.
Types of Plans
Medi-Cal offers different types of plans, each catering to the specific needs of its members:
- Medi-Cal Managed Care: A plan where Medi-Cal works with private health plans to coordinate care. This plan typically includes coverage for a wide range of services, including addiction treatment and mental health support.
- Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service: This plan reimburses health care providers for each service rendered. It covers essential services, including inpatient and outpatient drug rehab treatments, but may require additional treatment coordination.
How it Works for Addiction Treatment
Medi-Cal provides comprehensive coverage for drug rehab and mental health services. Depending on your plan, Medi-Cal can cover inpatient rehab, outpatient therapy, detox services, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
Why Choose Medi-Cal Drug Rehab for Addiction Treatment
One of the most significant advantages of using Medi-Cal for addiction treatment is the financial relief it offers. Addiction treatment can be costly, but Medi-Cal helps reduce this burden by covering a substantial portion or all of the treatment expenses. With Medi-Cal, clients can focus on their recovery, knowing they have a reliable and supportive system behind them.
Medi-Cal Drug Rehab Services at Buddy’s Ranch
The following is an overview of the Medi-Cal drug rehab services that your policy may cover.
Inpatient Rehab Services
Clients in our inpatient program receive therapeutic support, including individual counseling, group therapy, and other evidence-based treatments. This program is designed to provide a supportive, focused recovery experience in a safe and nurturing environment. Buddy’s Ranch ensures seamless access to our inpatient services for Medi-Cal drug rehab clients. Medi-Cal helps cover the cost of residential treatment, making it easier for individuals to receive the intensive care they need during the critical early stages of recovery.
Outpatient Programs and IOP
Buddy’s Ranch also offers outpatient services, including Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), for clients who need flexibility while balancing recovery with their daily responsibilities. Our IOP program includes group therapy, individual counseling, and skill-building sessions, all designed to support clients in their recovery journeys while they live at home. Medi-Cal drug rehab clients benefit from IOP coverage, which allows them to participate in outpatient therapy while maintaining their regular routines. This flexibility helps individuals stay on track with their recovery, even as they manage their work, family, or educational commitments.
Detoxification Services
Medically supervised detox is a big part of the recovery process, helping individuals safely manage withdrawal symptoms as their bodies get rid of harmful substances. At Buddy’s Ranch, we provide a supportive and monitored detox experience to ensure the client's safety and comfort. Our medical professionals are on hand 24/7 to assist clients through this process. Medi-Cal drug rehab clients have access to detox services, with coverage typically including medically supervised detox programs. This allows clients to receive the necessary care and support to begin their recovery journey with a clear mind and body at our drug detox center.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) plays a role in helping individuals recover primarily from opioid and alcohol dependence. MAT combines FDA-approved medications with therapy to help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms, offering a holistic approach to recovery. At Buddy’s Ranch, we provide MAT as part of our comprehensive addiction treatment services. Medi-Cal drug rehab services include coverage for MAT, ensuring that eligible clients receive access to this effective treatment option. By offering MAT, Buddy’s Ranch helps clients in their recovery process by reducing the physical effects of addiction and supporting long-term sobriety.

Medi-Cal Coverage and the Treatment Process
Medi-Cal provides a comprehensive range of addiction treatment services. These services typically include inpatient treatment, outpatient therapy, medically supervised detoxification, and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).

Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Medi-Cal also covers dual diagnosis treatment, which is essential for individuals facing both addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. This comprehensive care model addresses both conditions simultaneously so clients receive a holistic approach to their recovery. At Buddy’s Ranch, we utilize this integrated approach, combining addiction treatment with mental health therapy to create personalized treatment plans.
Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health conditions alongside addiction, Buddy’s Ranch provides the dual diagnosis treatment you need, supported by Medi-Cal.
