About Marie Green Center

Marie Green Center is an inpatient psychiatric and behavioral health facility in Merced, California providing crisis stabilization and short term hospitalization for adults experiencing acute psychiatric emergencies.

I want to note that it operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as part of Merced County Behavioral Health & Recovery Services.

The program uses a multi disciplinary approach to help individuals stabilize and return to their previous level of functioning.

Crisis Care and Stabilization

Marie Green Center specializes in brief inpatient hospitalization for adults who require total psychiatric care during a crisis.

I appreciate that treatment is delivered by a multi disciplinary team focused on stabilization and safety around the clock.

As part of the county behavioral health system, the center connects clients to broader resources, including crisis services, psychiatric and medication support, and dual diagnosis care for co-occurring mental health and substance use needs.

This integration allows individuals to transition into outpatient and substance use programs across Merced County after stabilization.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

An adult program in California uses various therapeutic methods to treat a person who is dependent on an addictive substance. Individuals aged 18 and older are eligible for treatment, which focuses on breaking the cycle of addiction and learning how to maintain sober living.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Seniors face unique challenges that may contribute to substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders. Elderly rehab in California is designed to address these challenges to provide relevant and safe treatment for seniors.

Teen & Adolescent Program

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.

Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab

Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient rehab in California 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.

Outpatient Rehab

When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetings. The focus will be on restructuring attitudes and thoughts to reduce cravings and develop skills to prevent relapse. The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.

Payment Options

Medicaid Accepted

If you’re an in-state resident and eligible for Medicaid, you can use your coverage to assist with the cost of alcohol and drug rehab in California. Medicaid can help cover all levels of care, including detox in California, inpatient rehab in California, and more.

Private Insurance

As a California resident with private rehab insurance, you can use your coverage to help pay for alcohol and drug addiction treatment. You may be asked to pay some costs like a co-payment or co-insurance. Check with your insurer for more information.

Self-Pay Options

There are a number of self-pay options available for alcohol and drug rehab in California. If you can’t afford to write a check for the full cost of inpatient or outpatient treatment, personal and medical loans offer alternate ways of financing.
