How We Deliver Codeine Addiction Treatment at Our La Mesa Center
Codeine dependence is an opioid use disorder at a smaller dose, and it is treated on the same path: an assessment that also checks the acetaminophen load in combination pills, then medication where it fits through medication-assisted treatment, prescribed alongside counseling rather than instead of it. Weekly group and individual therapy runs through intensive outpatient programming for roughly six to twelve weeks, then eases into a lighter schedule with the same clinicians, who coordinate with any other prescriber involved only with your consent.

Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program; in San Diego County it pays for this care through Drug Medi-Cal under DHCS certification 370254AP.
