Medi-Cal and Addiction Treatment

Addiction is complicated, so a comprehensive treatment approach is often the most effective. Medi-Cal recognizes this, and the program supports individuals struggling with substance use disorders by covering evidence-based addiction treatments, including MAT.

This approach uses medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone combined with counseling and ongoing support. This hybrid approach helps patients manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings while reducing the risk of relapse and supporting long-term recovery.

At AMATA, we specialize in providing compassionate, personalized addiction care to Medi-Cal patients.
