Medication-Assisted Treatment in Southern California

Medication-Assisted Treatment at Regal

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with therapy to ease withdrawal, reduce cravings and support long-term recovery. At Regal Treatment in Southern California, MAT is physician-led and provided within a private, licensed residential setting with 24/7 clinical care.
Every MAT plan starts with a confidential assessment of your substance use, medical history and goals. Your physician explains the options, and medication is always combined with counseling and therapy.

A physician assessment to decide whether MAT is right for you
Careful monitoring and dose adjustments by our medical team
Therapy and relapse-prevention planning alongside medication

The duration of inpatient drug and alcohol rehab at Regal can vary widely depending on the individual’s specific needs. Most clients begin their recovery journey with a 30-day residential program, designed to provide a strong clinical foundation for sobriety. However, the exact length of treatment is always personalized—based on a comprehensive assessment of each individual’s medical history, addiction severity, and emotional needs.
Some clients benefit from extended care lasting 60 to 90 days, especially if there are underlying mental health conditions or a history of relapse. We believe in flexible, client-centered timelines that prioritize sustainable outcomes over rushed results.
As clients progress, our team may recommend a step-down to additional levels of care, such as outpatient treatment or sober living—ensuring continued support and accountability beyond residential care.
At Regal, we focus on lasting transformation—not just temporary relief.
