Treatment
Treatment
One of the key strategic goals of the Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs is to develop and maintain a comprehensive, integrated statewide prevention, treatment and recovery system. Our efforts are focused on making treatment and recovery services accessible and available for all Californians in need of treatment, and to improve the core life domains of alcohol and other drug (AOD) clients.
find treatment help
If you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol or drugs, there are treatment services available throughout California to help you get on the road to recovery.
resource center
A comprehensive collection of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention and treatment information is available to all California residents at no cost through a Clearinghouse, Lending Services, Internet communication links, and a telephone information and referral system.
youth Services
There are critical differences between youth and adult AOD-related problems that require additional safety precautions, unique strategies, enhanced services, and distinctive staff expertise. Over the last five years, California has worked intensely to establish an appropriate system of care for substance using youth, including outreach, early intervention, low and high intensive outpatient treatment, residential treatment (in group home settings and juvenile detention facilities), and continuing care.
women's programs
In California, over 300 publically-funded perinatal alcohol and drug treatement programs annually serve the needs of over 38,000 pregnant and parenting women. Our vision is that all women should have access to participant/client-centered, comprehensive, gender-responsive alcohol and other drug services.
problem gambling
For most people, gambling is recreational. However, for some people, gambling leads to debilitating problems resulting in harm. If you or someone you know might have a gambling problem, help is available. Learn the signs of a gambling problem; take a confidential self survey.
driving under the influence
ADP currently licenses 472 Driving Under the Influence (DUI) programs designed to enable participants to consider attitudes and behavior, support positive lifestyle changes, reduce or eliminate the use of alcohol and/or drugs, and prevent repeat DUI offenses.
Drug Medi-Cal Billing
Information for counties and providers contracting with the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs regarding Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) billing and the submission of claims for DMC services rendered by certified DMC providers as required by California Health and Safety Code Section 11758.46(c)(1).
california access to recovery effort (care)
The California Access to Recovery Effort (CARE) currently provides vouchers in Los Angeles and Sacramento Counties for youth (ages 12 through 20) in need of alcohol and drug treatment and recovery support services. A new federal award (approximately $4.8 million per year) will enable CARE to expand services to Butte, Shasta and Tehama counties to target methamphetamine-using youth.
co-occuring disorders
The Departments of Alcohol and Drug Programs and Mental Health are working together to eliminate barriers between the substance abuse and mental health treatment systems at both the state and local levels on behalf of persons with dual diagnoses of serious mental illness and substance use disorders, now called Co-Occurring Disorders (COD).
