Addiction Treatment Programs
Typically, a young adult program in California can guide individuals from detox, through initial treatment, and extends to aftercare. Treatment gives young adults what they need to reset their lives and move to the next stage of life free from addiction.
When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.
Therapists often use rational emotive behavioral therapy in California to treat addiction. The ABC (activating event, beliefs, consequences) framework is used to help participants identify irrational beliefs and reframe their thinking in healthier ways.
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a form of psychotherapy commonly used in addiction recovery. Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), moral reconation therapy (MRT) helps clients recognize unhealthy and/or harmful thought patterns and to replace them with more positive and productive ones. MRT is designed to empower clients to make healthier life choices and to more effectively align their behaviors with their moral values.
Administrative Services are ancillary services provided by multidisciplinary teams of professionals, including clinicians, social workers, therapists, and case managers. These services ensure clients receive seamless, comprehensive care across all stages of recovery. Programs may include transportation assistance, intervention planning, insurance verification, supportive housing and employment, and discharge planning and support.
Levels of Care
Children through age 21 can use the outpatient program at this clinic, and so can adults with emotional or behavioral problems.
The adult treatment team helps people who have a mental health disorder, a co-occurring disorder or both. That work is for adults.

How can you pay at Henrietta Weill Memorial Child Guidance Clinic & Adult Behavioral Health?
Services aren’t denied when someone can’t pay. A discounted sliding fee follows family size and income, so what you pay can come down. Both rules apply together. The page on paying for rehab is the broader guide.
Is care here outpatient or something more intensive?
Care is outpatient. The program takes children through age 21 and adults with emotional or behavioral problems. An adult treatment team also helps people with a mental health disorder, a co-occurring disorder or both. That adult work is co-occurring disorders care.
Who can be seen in the outpatient program?
Children age 21 and under who have emotional, behavioral or substance use related problems can use the outpatient program. The clinic is a private nonprofit mental health center for children and families.
Can you walk in, or does care happen off site?
Yes, walk-in visits don’t need an appointment, and that holds at all three locations. Community-Based Services also bring counseling and case management to homes, school campuses and other spots in the community. Those visits away from the clinic are that program, not every service.
When is medication support considered for a child?
When it is appropriate, the child and family meet a board-certified child psychiatrist. The visit is an evaluation. It is used to diagnose the child and to see if medication support may help.
