My Experience at Kaiser AMRS Outpatient Recovery Program Please be cautious before joining this program! It can make your addiction worse if you can’t handle the intense workload and assignments that grow heaviest when you are in the most vulnerable stages of detox. Have other emotional supports in place, and make sure your personal life is stable (car, phone, housing, health, etc.) before beginning. While many of the counselors, nurses, and staff are truly wonderful and caring, there are some serious systemic issues in the way this program is managed. It often feels like they have the authority to take over your life with zero flexibility or compassion for individual circumstances. Don’t forget that this is also a business for them. When I entered the program, I had one days of sobriety and was doing extremely well—showing up on time, actively participating in all groups, attending AA meetings, finding a sponsor, and already doing step work. Out of nowhere, a staff member named Todd (who was not my assigned case manager) added a new DBT class to my schedule. At that time, I was experiencing severe insomnia and hormonal issues and had communicated that I was struggling to keep up and needed help with sleep. I tried to express that it was too much, but the attitude was essentially “do it anyway.” Despite the program teaching that relapse risk is highest between days 7–14 of withdrawal due to exhaustion and emotional sensitivity, they kept adding more pressure instead of offering support. On Day 9, I had terrible period pain and asked to rest during lunch. I even left messages for my case manager explaining this. Instead of being met with compassion, I was told “rest is not allowed” and was discharged from the program for non-compliance. I was devastated. I had bonded deeply with my peers, loved the structure, and was giving my best. Getting kicked out over something so small crushed my spirit—and yes, I relapsed afterward out of grief and despair. Two weeks later, I ended up in the ER, where one doctor treated me with shocking cruelty, saying, “Enjoy the drugs—you know the drill.” I told her the truth I had never been there before and that I’d only struggled with severe problem drinking for a couple years, following immense personal loss, trauma, and crisis this last few years. While most of the staff were compassionate, there are a few individuals whose behavior is harmful and even predatory toward vulnerable people. In particular, Todd displayed covertly narcissistic and manipulative tendencies, and I truly believe he sadistically enjoyed exerting control and over burdening patients in fragile states. Something is off about him. I later had to contact an organization called TRUST to come to my home because I was in such distress. I tried to find a therapist at Kaiser after this incident and they refused to offer me support because I did not complete the two week outpatient which really could go for weeks more than they say. My advice: If you join this program, advocate fiercely for yourself, keep strong outside support, and document everything. There are good people here, but there are also individuals and policies that can retraumatize rather than heal.

In my experience here- I feel that doctor Saal is knowledgeable and up on current research. He involves me in his treatment plan and agreed that we can start slowly weaning me off the Suboxone now that I have a solid sober support system in place. Also, my case manager/counselor, Freddy is amazing. However, Most of the people who run the groups, can be pretty ignorant and judgmental. One made me cry for poking holes in the discharge plan I made with the doctor, my rehab and my case manager. I made friends among my peers, But was mostly frustrated in groups and feel that the way I was treated by some counselors was inexcusable.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Kaiser Permanente – Chemical Dependency Recovery Program (CDRP) works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

This organization is very helpful. They helped with a significant dependency I developed for an anti anxiety medication for 10 years (Ironically given by Kaiser itself). The treatment is very therapy intensive (individual and group) followed with very occasional visits to the psychiatrist. This model in my opinion is much better then the system that got me dependent as I used to only see the psychiatrist who only prescribes. If you join the program they will teach you very useful techniques such as SPARROW, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), getting involved with dependency/addiction groups, and creating a strong support network. If you are dependent expect 2-3 weeks where this is a full time job followed by 10 hours for 4 - 16 weeks. All in all you are getting about 200+ hours of therapy which at current therapist rates of $200/hour equals about $40K in treatment. If you are a Kaiser patient I highly recommend it. Can't thank the staff enough
