Medi-Cal vs. Private Insurance: What Kind of Treatment Can You Access?

When it comes to behavioral health and addiction treatment, the type of insurance you have can dramatically influence your options. Newport One Health is here to help you understand the difference — and use our platform to access the best care available to you.

💡 What Is Medi-Cal?

Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program. It covers many essential addiction treatment services, including:

• Detox and outpatient services
• Residential treatment through approved providers
• Mental health counseling

However, not all facilities accept Medi-Cal, and beds can be limited.

💰 What About Private Insurance?

With private insurance (like PPO plans), you may have access to:

• High-end residential centers
• Specialized trauma or dual diagnosis treatment
• Holistic therapies like yoga, nutrition plans, and one-on-one counseling

Private insurance also means quicker access and more personalized amenities, depending on your policy.
