Substance Use Counseling

ChapCare believes that substance use services can improve the quality of our patient’s lives and their families. Substance use can not only affect the patient’s primary care and disease prevention, but can also affect other areas of their life (i.e. job, relationships, etc.). In our integrated substance use program, the substance use specialist addresses both mental health disorders and substance use disorders and works with primary care providers as a team to treat the overall health needs of their patients. ChapCare accepts Medi-Cal and most insurance plans. If you do not have insurance, please bring identification, proof of Los Angeles County residence, and proof of income to your first visit. You may be eligible for a Sliding Fee Discount, which can help reduce the amount that you are responsible for paying.
