Admissions at HLNG Rehab
Our admissions team conducts confidential clinical pre-screenings 24/7. Within one phone call, we verify insurance benefits, assess clinical acuity using ASAM criteria, and coordinate same-day or next-day intake when medically indicated.
The Admissions Process
- Confidential Phone Assessment: Call (209) 774-7359 to speak with an admissions counselor. We gather basic clinical history, substance use details, and insurance information to determine the appropriate level of care.
- Insurance Verification: Our benefits coordination team contacts your provider directly to verify coverage, determine in-network or out-of-network benefits, and calculate estimated out-of-pocket costs. This typically takes 15-30 minutes.
- Clinical Pre-Screening: A licensed clinician reviews your substance use history, medical conditions, psychiatric symptoms, and prior treatment episodes using ASAM dimensional assessment criteria to recommend detox, residential, or outpatient placement.
- Intake Coordination: We arrange transportation assistance if needed, confirm arrival logistics, and prepare your individualized intake schedule. Same-day admissions are available for urgent clinical situations.
- Comprehensive Intake Assessment: Upon arrival at our Huntington Beach facility, you undergo a full medical examination, psychiatric evaluation, nutritional assessment, and biopsychosocial interview. Your individualized treatment plan is developed within the first 72 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does addiction treatment at HLNG Rehab last?
Medical detox: 3-10 days depending on substance and withdrawal severity. Residential treatment: 30, 60, or 90 days based on ASAM criteria assessment. PHP: 2-4 weeks. IOP: 6-12 weeks. Treatment duration is determined by clinical indicators, not arbitrary timelines.
Is medical detox supervised around the clock?
Yes. Detox patients receive 24/7 physician-directed care with continuous nursing monitoring. Withdrawal severity is tracked using standardized scales (CIWA-Ar, COWS) and medication adjustments are made in real time. Our medical team manages MAT protocols including buprenorphine, naltrexone, and benzodiazepine tapers.
What insurance plans does HLNG Rehab accept?
We accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid, Medicare, WellCare, First Health Network, Anthem, and Cigna. Our benefits team verifies coverage within 15-30 minutes of your initial call. Out-of-network and self-pay options are also available with structured payment plans.
What is dual diagnosis treatment?
Dual diagnosis refers to the concurrent presence of a substance use disorder and a psychiatric condition (e.g., depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder). HLNG Rehab treats both simultaneously using integrated pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Psychiatric evaluation occurs within the first 48 hours of admission.
Can family members participate in treatment?
Yes. Family involvement is clinically integrated through structured weekend workshops, family therapy sessions, psychoeducation modules on codependency and communication, and access to our Family Lodge for visiting family members. Family participation correlates with improved long-term outcomes in peer-reviewed literature.
What therapeutic modalities are used?
HLNG Rehab utilizes CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, 12-Step Facilitation, MBRP, Somatic Experiencing, individual counseling, group therapy, art therapy, music therapy, and creative writing. Modality selection is based on each patient's diagnostic profile and treatment response data.
Is treatment confidential?
All patient records are protected under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, the federal regulation governing substance use disorder treatment confidentiality. No information is disclosed without written patient consent except in circumstances required by law. We offer specialized confidential intake protocols for healthcare workers and public-facing professionals.
What happens after completing residential treatment?
Discharge planning begins at admission. Patients step down to PHP or IOP based on clinical progress. Aftercare includes alumni support groups (held twice monthly at our Huntington Beach campus), ongoing individual therapy referrals, relapse prevention planning, and connection to community recovery resources. Outcome tracking continues at 30, 60, and 90-day post-discharge intervals.
