car-building iconOutpatient

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.

clipboard-medical iconMedically Assisted Detox

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.

Heart icon Treatment

book iconAlcoholism

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.

prescription iconDrug Addiction

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.

head-side-medical iconDual Diagnosis

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.

prescription-bottle-pill iconOpioid Addiction

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.

file-medical iconSubstance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Group Therapy

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.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

If I could give 0 stars I would. My teen daughter was offered what was meant to be bi weekly individual therapy. At best, she was seen every 6 weeks. It was during Covid so we had few options and the therapist even told her he was still in school. Desperate times, you know. It was, according to her, useless . So last year when my teen son needed mental health care, he was offered group therapy. No thanks. So we pay out of pocket to see someone out of network. He needs medication so we tried Kaiser again. I called in January 2024 to request an appt with a psychiatrist. It took 4 weeks to get the first appt with psychiatrist. She said she needed to do another session before she could prescribe anything. Her next appointment was 4 weeks later. Ok, we took it. My son had a school presentation he could not miss (cause you know they only have weekday appointments which is super convenient for high school students) so we called to reschedule. Next appointment is in another 4 weeks. So again I go out of Kaiser and am able to get an appointment with a psychiatrist less than 48 hours after contacting them (I think part of why we got in quickly is because he was appalled at how long Kaiser had made us wait already considering we have a diagnosis from a non Kaiser Dr ). And now I just found out that Kaiser will not even cover the prescription this doctor has written without a referral from Kaiser. I m done with Kaiser completely. It s a shame because I really like my medical doctors, but Kaiser s mental health services are so inadequate that I can no longer afford to stay with Kaiser.

I've been a Kaiser member for 15 years and it's been horrifying to watch them completely dismantle a robust mental health and education department that had groups, classes and individual therapy. We are now offered apps (or "trials" of apps), medication with very little oversight, discounts on "wellness" products, and a myriad of shallow videos. They should be fined by the California Department of Insurance. I mean, personally fine the high paid executives who are in love with slick advertising, showing up at Chase Center for NBA games, and could care less about the health of anyone enrolled in a Kaiser Plan.It's disgusting.

I found the San Rafael Mental Health Department incompetent! My daughter just started having real issues and I am quickly learning that Kaiser is NOT prepared to deal with someone who is struggling in a meaningful way. I'm not sure if it is my daughter's specific therapist that is the issue or Kaiser, as a whole. All I can say is, it has been a god awful experience.

Response from the owner2 years ago
We strive to make every member experience a positive one, and we're sorry we didn't achieve that for you and your daughter. We've shared your feedback but would also welcome the opportunity to look into this further. If you're willing, please email us with your medical record number and full name to KPMarinSonoma@kp.org. Thank you, Heather

These people have been completely unresponsive so far. I had an urgent mental health issue - they set me up for a therapist 3 weeks out and when I went there this person told me to go to a class, instead of providing any kind of service.I made the comment above when I had to deal with heavy cPTSD onset. I feel that I have been through almost all of it. I had to deal with the condition out of pocket - individual therapy was not available at this location. Also had no luck with Kaiser in SF. When I filed a complaint with Kaiser they changed my account of what happened in their review. Kaiser mental health services may help some people, but it was useless for me, except to get sleeping meds. I did find help elsewhere and I am grateful for the help I did receive.
