Most Frequently Asked Questions

Our admissions process begins with a confidential phone assessment where an admissions specialist gathers information about substance use history, mental health, medical conditions, and immediate needs. This helps determine the appropriate level of care (detox, residential treatment, or another program). Once complete, we verify insurance benefits, discuss costs, review available beds, and help coordinate arrival. In most cases, clients can be admitted the same day. For more information about the admissions process, visit the dedicated page.

You can verify insurance by calling our admissions line at 866-591-0888 or completing our secure online form. Our team contacts your insurance provider directly to review your coverage, explain your benefits, and outline any expected out-of-pocket costs. Insurance verification typically a few minutes, and your information is always protected under HIPAA privacy laws.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 88% of privately insured Americans have coverage for substance use treatment thanks to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). Coverage varies by provider, so our team helps you understand your exact benefits before admission. Call us today at 866-591-0888

We accept most PPO insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and others. We also work with many California-based employer plans.

If you don’t have insurance, Wellness Detox LA offers several self-pay options, including payment plans and flexible rates. A dedicated advisor will work with you to find the most manageable solution so treatment remains accessible.

Yes. Many clients enter treatment with the help of a spouse, parent, or loved one. Our admissions team can speak with family members, provide education, and support them through the logistics of admission, even if the client is hesitant or unsure. Family involvement is often associated with higher engagement and better treatment outcomes, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).

Most clients can be admitted within 24 hours, and in urgent cases, the same day.
