Frequently asked questions about Tavarua Health Services
Answered from this center's own federal listing — not from marketing copy.
Tavarua Health Services appears in SAMHSA's federal treatment locator, the U.S. government's official directory of licensed substance-use providers, and reports the following credentials: COA, State-licensed, SAMHSA-certified OTP and DEA-registered.

According to its federal listing, Tavarua Health Services 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 562-695-0737 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 Tavarua Health Services 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.
Tavarua Health Services 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.

Tavarua Health Services 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.
