About Riverside County Department of Mental Health

Riverside County Department of Mental Health offers inpatient and outpatient treatment for substance use disorders. You can find them in Riverside, California. They offer two levels of outpatient treatment, both of which are designed to support individuals who are stable enough to participate in low-intensity treatment. Programming includes individual and group therapy which uses evidence-based techniques to help you respond differently to triggering circumstances. This allows you to remain in control of your actions and sustain long-term sobriety.

The inpatient program is available to all residents of Riverside County. They offer several specialty programs, including one for pregnant women and mothers, one for people with co-occurring disorders, one for adolescents, one for Spanish-speaking clients and one for people with a temporary or permanent cognitive impairment. Every inpatient program involves a lot of group support and a sponsorship structure, which holds you accountable while providing compassionate and empathetic support from your peers.

During inpatient care, your treatment goals include preparing for relapse triggers, improving your social functioning and planning your aftercare approach. These goals lead to the main goal of achieving and sustaining sobriety. Your treatment team will help you identify any barriers to your progress, lay out your priorities and goals for treatment and create a treatment plan that solves problems and challenges that are holding you back.

This location also has an Impaired Driver Program (IDP). This program includes discussions and courses that, once completed, give those convicted of alcohol or drug violations a conditional license. This ensures they can still get to and from work and maintain independence after losing their license due to an alcohol or drug related offense.

BUILDING # 3I'd give them 5 stars but the lady's that are in charge of enrolling people for the DUI program are extremely rude. Especially ANGELICA, (sits on the far left) as soon as clients walk out I hear her talking bad about them. I've watched her give people disgusting looks, and makes them feel dumb. She loves the toxicity from what I heard her say. (Smh) She is the face of this company and honestly makes people feel less than. Other than that The counselors are amazing for group and outpatient programs!!!! Their receptionist is also a sweet heart unlike the other ladies.

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.

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.

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
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

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

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.
