Frequently asked questions about CLARE Matrix

Answered from this center's own federal listing — not from marketing copy.

CLARE Matrix appears in SAMHSA's federal treatment locator, the U.S. government's official directory of licensed substance-use providers, and reports the following credentials: CARF, State-licensed, Federally Qualified Health Center, SAMHSA-certified OTP and DEA-registered. You can verify this yourself at findtreatment.gov — we are not affiliated with this center and are not paid by it.

According to its federal listing, CLARE Matrix accepts Medicaid (Medi-Cal), Medicare and self-payment. It also offers a sliding fee scale, meaning what you pay is based on your income. Coverage details change, so confirm with the center at 323-287-2023 before you rely on it.

We don't publish prices, because no directory can quote you an accurate one — the real cost depends on your coverage, the level of care, and how long you stay. What we can tell you is that CLARE Matrix reports a sliding fee scale based on income and accepts Medicaid, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.

CLARE Matrix reports offering Outpatient and Detox care. Its medical detox covers opioids detoxification and medication routinely used during detoxification. The right level depends on how severe your use is and whether withdrawal needs medical supervision — alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous without it.

Its listed treatment approaches include anger management, brief intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management/motivational incentives, motivational interviewing and matrix model. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management and motivational interviewing are what research consistently supports — it's fair to ask any center which of these it actually practices.

Yes — CLARE Matrix reports dedicated programming for veterans. Veterans may also be eligible for VA-funded substance-use treatment, which is worth checking alongside this center.

Yes — CLARE Matrix reports a program for pregnant or postpartum women. Pregnancy makes withdrawal management a medical priority rather than something to tough out alone, so call them before stopping any substance abruptly.

CLARE Matrix reports providing services in Spanish. If language is a barrier for you or a family member, ask when you call — it changes how much of the treatment actually lands.
