Accepted Insurance

Antelope Valley Mental Health Professionals works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult Program
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-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
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

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

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.

I was referred to them by the hospital. They said they are contracted with my insurance. But every time I call nobody returns my phone calls or it hangs up on me. After reviewing your guys's notes I've decided to look elsewhere

The absolute worst receptionists we have ever had the mispleasure of dealing with. They are rude and have a serious inability to deal with people who are suffering from anxiety and depression. And prescription refills is a complete nightmare.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Extremely rude and shady business practices.From the first contact they lied to me. First, they promised me Josephine Aideloje was a psychiatrist when I asked to confirm. She is not. She is a psychiatric nurse, which is fine, but don't lie to me. Josephine then acted like I was a nuisance during both of my appointments, appearing distracted and not answering me. She also did not listen to me and tried 5 separate times to prescribe me a medication that I told her not only didn't work but also gave me terrible side effects. She told me she knew better than me and that I shouldn't question her. After that second appointment, I hung up early and immediately called Kaiser to transfer me to an in house psychiatrist.Then, two months later, they made an appointment for me without consulting me. She tried to tell me it auto schedules every month but that can't be true because I hadn't been seen in two months. She then proceeded to tell me that it isn't something I could authorize or turn off, it was just automatic. That should be illegal to auto schedule patients especially if you charge a no show fee. I was only given about 24 hours notice of this "appointment." I got a text saying "Reply one to confirm, reply two to cancel". I sent a two, assuming it would cancel. I then received an email today saying my appointment was confirmed. At that point in the call, the receptionist (who wouldn't give me her name) started being extremely rude and hung up on me without confirming that the appointment was cancelled and if I was removed from their system. I tried to call back a few times to get in touch with a different operator or supervisor but since the only route of communication is through her desk, she continuously sent me to voicemail, and her voicemail does not give her name.DO NOT go here. If Kaiser tries to refer to here, DO NOT accept. Stay far away.

If I could give 0 stars I would Horrible placeThey are super rude they do not care for your mental health.When I first called they receptionist was really hostel towards me asking me what did i needed asking me if i really need it. You know long it takes for someone to seek help. You come to these people and they make you feel worst about yourself. Then receptionist did not tell me that I was going to have to enable my camera and microphone settings to be able To talk to the doctor all they did tell me was fill out paperwork and a link sent to me for a tele consultation after I couldnt enable my camera and microphone the receptionist proceeds to be rude and say I have 2 mins to open it or my appointment was canceled she did not try to help me what so ever. If you have a problem with your mental health I highly do NOT recommend this place.

After many years, I was so happy to find someone that takes my insurance, for about a week until the appointment was supposed to happen. I did all the paperwork they wanted (took like 4 hours, but I did it ASAP), and had hoped to see if the video chat service they offered would work before the session. I was only offered one link for one video chat service. In trying to figure any other service options out, as predicted, that out took up like 20 minutes of the first appointment where I got absolutely no help. A complete waste of time. My insurance covers either camera, headset, or both equipment in a video session, but apparently, the licensed professional can discriminate what equipment they will accept over actually helping anybody. I'm right back where I started. I wish I could say that I hope they do this to the wrong person and get held liable for a suicide, but obviously, I'm not, as I'm posting this as a warning (and I should've read all your rating warnings beforehand, as well).

Worse experience I ever had with office personnel. They do not answer the phone, take over 24 hours to call you back and to top it off cancel appointment without notification. My son needed an urgent appointment, after waiting 2 weeks, I find out 1 hour before his appointment that it was cancelled without notice. The office manager refused to talk to me and the receptionist offered another appointment 1 month out. They also refused to connect me directly with Dr. Steiglitz. Beware of this place...it's clear they do not care about anyone's health.

Mr. Lamon, MFT is a great therapist and got me through some really tough times. I've seen a few other therapists but none have been as effective as him. I highly recommend his services.
