Expert Insights
I recently heard about the Huntington Beach Mobile Crisis team and I think it’s just the kind of innovation we need to address the mental health crisis in the area. Teaming counselors with officers to respond to crisis calls is a great way to support people struggling with mental health problems like addiction.
So often these issues co-occur but when the police respond it becomes an issue of criminal justice and can delay — or even prevent — mental health treatment. This way, people in crisis can get the support they need and it frees up law enforcement to tackle more serious crimes. I read they handled over 2,000 calls in their first year of operation which shows that there is most definitely a long-term need for the team.

How Expensive is Drug Rehab in Huntington Beach?
The cost of addiction care can vary significantly. The type of program you choose will determine what your out-of-pocket costs are. Some factors that affect cost include:
Whether the program is an inpatient or outpatient program
If the facility offers special amenities
How long you will be in treatment
Whether the facility is part of your insurance plan’s network
The location of the facility
Residential rehab, or inpatient, has higher costs. You will be receiving medical care, as well as counseling for your addiction during treatment. In addition, you will live in the facility full time during the program.
Your expenses will include housing and meals. If you select a luxury facility or program with extra amenities, the costs will be even higher.
