These facilities are usually funded through Medi-Cal, Medicare, private insurance and workmans compensation.

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities:
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has sole authority to license facilities providing 24-hour residential nonmedical services to eligible adults who are recovering from problems related to alcohol or other drug (AOD) misuse or abuse. Licensure is required when at least one of the following services is provided: detoxification, group sessions, individual sessions, educational sessions, or alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment planning. Additionally, facilities may be subject to other types of permits, clearances, business taxes or local fees that may be required by the cities or counties in which the facilities are located. You may also want to check with your county alcohol and drug program office to ensure compliance with any requirements they might have.

Many facilities licensed by DHCS are also certified. Certification by DHCS identifies those facilities which exceed minimum levels of service quality and are in substantial compliance with State program standards, specifically the Alcohol and/or Other Drug Certification Standards. Funding sources include private insurance, private pay, and County Contracts.

Case Study:

Intermediate Care Facility (ICF): A Register Nurse with over 25 years of experience operating several ICF facilities was looking for an exit plan to start her retirement. A-Med Realty Group was able to find her a single buyer that was just as passionate about caring for individuals with developmental disabilities as she was. Buyer was an executive at a fortune 500 company, married to a registered nurse and had a son that was developmentally disabled. Buyer acquired all her ICF facilities.
