Questions people ask about depression treatment
Straight answers about medication, therapy, timing, and coverage.
Is depression treated on its own, or only alongside substance use?+
Depression is treated as its own focus, not an afterthought to substance use. When the two overlap, our clinical team treats both on the same plan, on the same timeline.
Will medication be part of my treatment?+
It may be, depending on your specific situation. Our psychiatric team evaluates what's appropriate for you individually, medication decisions are made clinically, not assumed in advance.
What kind of therapy is used for depression?+
A mix of psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and interpersonal therapy, tailored to what's actually driving your depression and how it's showing up in your life.
I've felt this way for a long time. Is it too late to get help?+
It's not too late. However long you've been carrying this, reaching out is still a real, meaningful step, not something you missed the window for.
Does depression treatment happen at every level of care?+
Yes, from residential to outpatient. Your team determines the right starting point based on the severity of what you're experiencing.
Does insurance cover depression treatment?+
In most cases, yes. We're in-network with most major providers and verify your specific benefits before you commit to anything. We do not currently accept Medi-Cal or Medicare. If that's your coverage, call us, we'll tell you straight away and point you toward a resource that can help.
