We proudly participate with a variety of national and California-based insurance companies.

 Our Admissions and Medical Teams will work directly with your insurance provider to determine your individual eligibility and benefits and so that you can access the appropriate care for your eating disorder as your move through your treatment and recovery process.

Please note: If you do not see your insurance provider represented below, we are happy to discuss the possibility of a Single Case Agreement in order to get you access to the care that you need.

Our Admissions Process 

 

Step 1

The first step on your path towards eating disorder recovery is to admit that you’re struggling and start looking for help and resources. You might have gotten to this point before. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to make these life-changing decisions. You’ve gotten this far, you have the strength.

The easiest way to reach us is to submit a contact form through our website, call us directly at (805) 752-1112, or to email info@centralcoasttreatmentcenter.com. If we don’t answer right away, someone from our Admissions Team will get back to you within 24 hours.

*Please note that our office operates on Pacific Time. If your situation is urgent, please contact your local hospital or the National Eating Disorder Hotline at 800-931-2237 to speak with someone right away who can get you the help you need.

Step 2

After our initial contact with you, we will confirm your insurance benefits and schedule a free phone assessment to determine what level of care is appropriate for you at this time and how we can best support you in your recovery.

We will then request the necessary medical information to begin your admissions process. Upon receipt of your medical clearance, our Admissions Nurse will review your records to ensure that we can treat you safely during your stay with us.

Step 3

The final step is yours to take. It involves you making a commitment to the treatment and recovery process, getting yourself to our doorstep (or into our Virtual Therapy Room), and once you do arrive, allowing us to be a part of your ongoing recovery journey.

We are always happy to schedule after-hour tours of the facility for those who wish to visit in-person prior to starting in the program.

“

April 2019

“Over time you start to realize that you are not an eating disorder and your true self is waiting to shine through. Going through treatment I can say that it won’t be easy, and it won’t be linear— there will be ups and downs. But with all the skills and tools that CCTC teaches you it is hard to go back to the place that you once were because you are so much stronger and empowered.”

 Frequently Asked Questions

 

+ What ages and genders do you treat?

We treat ages 13 and up, and all genders.

+ What are the hours and days of the week for the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

Our program is available 3-5 days/week. Individuals can initially attend 5 days and then gradually step down as they progress in treatment. Program is 3-4 hours per day, with flexibility based on the client’s needs, and we can accommodate for school, work, or other outside demands.

+ What if I am referred by a therapist and would like to continue seeing them while in treatment with CCTC?

Clients are encouraged to continue to see their existing therapists, and all existing health care professionals can receive weekly progress if the client so desires.

+ What types of weekly individual sessions do PHP clients have?

1x individual psychotherapy sessions and 1x individual session with a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders. Family/couples therapy is provided on an "as needed" basis for adults and family sessions are always included for our adolescent clients.

+ What types of insurance do you accept?

The Central Coast Treatment Center is contracted with most major insurance companies. For those providers that we are not contracted with, we are happy to discuss the possibility of a Single Case Agreement should it be in the best interest of the client. At this time, we are unable to work with Medicaid, but can provide referrals to other programs that you may be eligible for.

+ How much of the cost of treatment will i be responsible for?

The clinical intake includes an insurance and benefits check that will determine your costs. Insurance policies differ by individual and by company. Based on the information provided by the clinical intake, the Central Coast Treatment Center evaluates the level of treatment needed and sends an initial clinical request to the insurance company. We advocate on behalf of the client for the level of care we believe appropriate based on our assessment. Clinical utilization reviews then take place regularly during the course of treatment.

+ How do you address food allergies, preferences, and vegetarianism?

We are sensitive to each patient’s food issues and provide flexibility in our menus. We take into account diagnosed food allergies, blood sugar issues, and other dietary needs. We offer vegetarian choices, and work with patients to differentiate between food preferences and food restrictions driven by eating disorder thoughts.
