About West Oakland Health Council
West Oakland Health Council is a community based clinic in Oakland, California. Adults can access outpatient care and medication assisted treatment for mental health conditions and substance abuse. Their outpatient programs are specifically for those with referrals from their medical provider.
You’ll have access to individual therapy to work through the barriers hindering your recovery. They give you the tools to face these challenges head on while building coping skills to sustain sobriety. Additionally, you’ll benefit from care coordination. These services connect you with community resources and support for your recovery journey.
They tailor their medication assisted treatment toward people with opioid use disorder. This program provides group and individual counseling coupled with daily medication. You could be prescribed medications, like Suboxone or methadone, to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings and promote long term sobriety.
One thing I like about them is their specialty mental health care services. They provide flexible options in the office, at home, in the community, and during school visits. They have different programs for adults, children, and adolescents with moderate to severe mental health conditions. I think this option is super helpful, especially if you find traveling to and from treatment challenging.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
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.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.
During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.
