How We Deliver Methamphetamine (Meth) Addiction Treatment at Our La Mesa Center
No medication is approved for methamphetamine use disorder, so recovery here rests on structure and repetition rather than a prescription. An assessment screens mood and safety first, because the weeks after stopping often bring exhaustion and low mood as the brain's reward system resets. From there, scheduled group and individual sessions several days a week through intensive outpatient care give that flat stretch something to hold onto, typically for six to twelve weeks, before stepping down to a single weekly visit with the same team, with any co-occurring depression managed alongside through dual diagnosis care.
Does Medi-Cal Cover Methamphetamine (Meth) Addiction Treatment in La Mesa?
Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program; in San Diego County it pays for this care through Drug Medi-Cal under DHCS certification 370254AP.
Yes. Methamphetamine treatment in La Mesa is covered through the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System, which the county administers independently of your managed care plan, at no cost when clinical criteria are met. See our Medi-Cal page.
