Questions to ask Volunteers of America
- Is my specific plan in network, and do you need prior authorization before admission?
- Do you provide medical detox on site, and how many days does it usually last?
- How long is the typical residential stay, and can family visit?
- Which medications do you prescribe (buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone), and can I continue a medication I already take?
- Do you treat mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety at the same time?
- Is there a waitlist, and how soon can you do an assessment?
Also confirm the facility is licensed by California (this facility reports accreditation). If you are withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, ask about medical detox; do not stop suddenly on your own.
Paying for treatment at Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America reports accepting Medicaid. With California Medicaid, treatment is usually covered at little or no cost, though some levels of care need prior authorization. Most private plans must cover substance use treatment on terms comparable to other medical care under federal parity law.
