Benefits vary from plan to plan, and a verification is not a guarantee of coverage.

What it means

How does virtual treatment compare with coming in person?

Virtual and in-person treatment follow the same approach but differ in where you are and how much support you have nearby.

Virtual IOP and outpatient

You join group and individual sessions by video from a private space at home. It suits people who can avoid drinking or using at home and need treatment that fits around work or family.

In-person treatment

You attend our programs in person, with more structure and people around you. It suits people who need detox, a sober setting or closer support to stop drinking or using.

Admissions can tell you which fits, and you can move between the two without changing providers.

Levels of care

Virtual addiction care at each level

You can join intensive outpatient (IOP) or outpatient therapy for drug and alcohol use virtually, with the same structure as our in-person programs.

Is it a fit

Signs virtual addiction treatment may suit you

Virtual addiction treatment may suit you, and admissions can help you decide whether it's the right level.

  • You can stay away from drinking or using at home between sessions.
  • You need treatment around work, school or caring for family.
  • You live outside Orange County and would rather join sessions from home.
  • You have a private place at home where you can talk freely.
  • You are finishing in-person care and want to keep treatment going.
  • You have a mental health condition as well as the drinking or drug use.

In-person care may be safer if

  • You get sick or shaky when you stop.
  • Home makes staying away from use too hard.
  • You keep returning to use between sessions.

If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.

What we treat

Substances treated in virtual care

Virtual care treats the same substances as our in-person outpatient programs, once any withdrawal has been managed.

Cost and coverage

Insurance and what virtual treatment costs

What you pay depends on your deductible, your copay and the level your insurer approves, so we cannot quote a price before checking your plan. Admissions checks your benefits with the insurer and tells you the figures before you decide anything.

Common questions about virtual addiction treatment

If your question is not answered here, call admissions at (714) 862-1907.

  • What do I need to join?

    You need a phone, tablet or computer with a camera, a steady internet connection, and a private place where you can talk without being overheard.

  • Is online treatment private?

    Yes. What you share with your clinicians is kept confidential, and every session is led by a licensed clinician.

  • Do I have to live in California?

    Admissions will confirm whether you can join from where you live, because your clinician has to be licensed where you are.

  • What if I drink or use during virtual treatment?

    Tell your clinician. Returning to use is common in recovery, and your team may suggest more support, such as an in-person level, for a while.

  • Is medication available through virtual care?

    Medication can be part of virtual treatment when you need it. Admissions can answer your questions about it on your first call.

  • Can I switch to in-person care?

    Yes. Enhance provides detox, inpatient and outpatient care in person, so admissions can help you move to a level with more support.

  • Does insurance cover virtual addiction treatment?

    Coverage depends on your plan: your deductible, your copay and what your insurer approves. Admissions checks your benefits with the insurer before you decide anything.
