Location

Accepted Insurance

Kinesis North 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

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.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient 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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

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-program thumbnail image
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Substances can prevent the absorption of nutrients and cause damage to your body's systems. Nutrition therapy in California addresses the deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that are caused by substance abuse.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

It was good for a year but A therapist named Ryan had thrown a pen at me after confining in him about some stuff and he decided that was OK to throw something when I have Ben Hurt by men and I m scared of them I left his office, completely unfazed in his eyes and Immediately started crying at my grandma arms the only good thing is that I get my Invega Sustenna three weeks every month so I get my med every three weeks and I would have to say this is better than the month I don t want to make an enemy of him, but I wish he would ve gotten fired for that because he was completely unprofessional and I am officially scared of him and he still says hi to me now and then and I start crying after I leave his site

My whole experience in the clinic has been horrible.Especially with a counselor Adam, who has been very friendly but he was the lack of empathy.He has had a no-show five times even though two times I told him to inform me if he canceled an appointment. Is it acceptable? His excuse was to suddenly get sick or just forget to inform me before going on his vacation.He has NEVER apologized to me and fixed his problem while I have been in Kinesis.This clinic did not have communication among the counselor, supervisor, doctor, and front office manager.The office manager could have informed me instead of Adam if they had communicated, but it has NEVER happened even though I asked to do so. The supervisor Anna was also not responsible for the patient s call. I had to leave a message many times for her. Finally, she returned my call after hearing my complaint message about not getting her call.Moreover, the nurse, doctor, and front manager did not communicate about patient matters. They didn t get through what was going on, or what is going to do next. End up with no one accountable.Another thing,One time, I had a panic attack, Adam told me on the phone he sent somebody to my home to make sure I was ok and safe, but nobody came. Why? Is this acceptable?He also made the double booking even though he had already made an appointment with me. There was not only no explanation but also no space available for me to reschedule for the rest of the week. I was put on a lower priority than others.Because of his unprofessional and disrespectful actions, I terminated Adam. After two weeks, he called me and asked to restart counseling.The scary part for me was he had NEVER admitted and apologized for what he had done to me. Not only did he avoid facing his problems but also he tried to move on as if NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. That was a red flag. I was looking for a safe place and help to heal. However, my terrible experience with stress, frustration, anxiety, unsafe, disrespect, and distrust has gotten worse in my mental condition.Negative stars should deserve it.

I was perfectly content with the treatment I was recieving up until the 9th of December of the year 2022 when I decided to change meds ( to Invega Sustenna ) without being given any warnings or explanation for the terrible side effects I would experience. What truly bothered me was that the current psychiatrist refused to listen to me and take me seriously when I attempted to explain how much the medication was causing me to suffer. Now as a result I am experiencing many health issues and conditions that completely destroy my quality of life, some possibly being permanent which could've been easily avoided had I been warned ahead of time.( 6+ month update, I noticed my review has gained a considerable amount of attention since, so I'd like to update my review's description. I'm still currently experiencing an unbelievably large amount of side effects, but have at least managed to make a considerable recovery by now from dieting, excercising, and taking only natural supplements and vitamins, and can live a decent quality of life again, but still far from where it once was. The worst part of this experience was that this "medication" caused me to completely loose the ability to sleep for over 3 months, nearly 4, to the point that I eventually suffered a stroke, leaving me with double vision, cognitive impairment, liver damage, and more. If you're experiencing psychosis or have schizophrenia I strongly encourage you to seek alternatives, preferably in pills and not injections, incase of an adverse reaction. In my honest opinion however, I wouldn't even suggest taking any antipsychotics in general, since they almost always cause severe negative reactions, and when taken long-term can eventually cause permanent, irreversible brain damage by reducing the grey matter, some more than others, and can even lead to movement disorders like Tardive Dyskinesia which can be somewhat treated, but not cured, and is also permanent. If anything you're honestly better off taking something that's not artificial/synthetic like this, such as something organic and plant-derived. If you'd like to learn more about how devastating and harmful Invega Sustenna is, check out a website named Bluelight, I originally left a direct link to the website, but it caused my review to be filtered out. This update may seem unnecessarily excessive, but I truly care and don't want anyone else to end up like me, depressed, miserable, and mentally/physically crippled, most likely for the rest of their lives. I will at least leave some unrelated positive feedback however, which is that aside from the psychiatrist, and obviously this medication, I genuinely enjoyed my relationship with everyone else there, specifically Adam, Anna, Shawn, and Tanya, they were wonderful and helpful to me the entire time I knew them, and even miss them to this day. But in the end I'd rather remain free of medications, specifically antipsychotics for the rest of my life, because while I will most likely never make a full recovery, the least I can do is prevent any further damage and stop others from meeting the same horrible fate like I did. )

They literally just forgot about me after making multiple promises to help and giving me hope, a real let down . Tanya was amazing but the rest of the place really needs to get it together.

This clinic was a literal lifesaver when I had no insurance. They were able to see me at no out-of-pocket cost and I saw two clinicians (psychiatrist and therapist) as well as provide a multitude of groups. If you, or a loved one, are in need of medication management and psychiatric services on a sliding scale, I truly recommend this place.I have been coming here for about 5 years now, although that time has probably come to an end. The beloved MD I saw has retired, and the new docs have much different treatment philosophies. The two personal therapists I've seen over the years were great, but treatment staff turns over quickly; it's the nature of a clinic like this, as many are just out of school and/or satisfying clinical hours to obtain licensure.In the last couple months Kinesis has gone through some major changes in both policy and staff. While they again have MDs in the office, they now insist that they are primarily a "medication clinic" and do not serve the needs of anyone high functioning or appearing as such. Also, be advised their policy has been updated to include drug screening.

I found this place to be very welcoming and friendly and caring ,and I got depression med's prescribed to me the first day I went, the staff are super understanding ,i felt sorry for them when they have to deal with people who are super angry and delusional/ don't think this is a good place to go off on people or you will take a ride downtown and it wont be fun . But if you can hold yer mud n just be cool they will jump through hoops for you . Linda Tillotson is an excellent case manager , super professional and awesome /she catches every detail and is a sweet lady as is DR Prophet she is super sweet and kind and also helpful ....I was kinda shocked to see the bad review all I can think was it was a holiday ...keep in mind people who get told no generally flip out and have tantrums . I give this place 5 STARS !

This place is terrifying! For the entire month of May there were no doctors on staff and were refering established patients out because there was no one to prescribe medication. The fact these people are liscenced to take care of those who are already suffering is appauling and sad. Do not go here!
