Substance use treatment referrals for your clients

Consent and disclosure wording on this page is pending counsel review.

ARC provides substance use treatment: intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP). ARC is not a California DUI program; DUI programs are separately licensed.

With your client's written consent, ARC can provide proof of enrollment and attendance letters. Without written consent, we can't confirm whether your client contacted us or attended.

ARC makes no promises about court outcomes, sentencing or case results. Treatment recommendations are based on a clinical assessment.

• Intensive Outpatient (IOP), in person or telehealth: Monday to Friday, 10am–1pm or 2pm–5pm. In person at 1002 Live Oak Blvd., Suite A, Yuba City, CA 95991.
• Evening telehealth IOP: Monday to Friday, 6pm–9pm, by telehealth only.
• Telehealth IOP: live sessions for adults anywhere in California.
• Partial Hospitalization (PHP): in person in Yuba City only, for adults who need daily structure but not 24-hour care. PHP is not offered by telehealth.

ARC serves adults 18 and older. ARC does not provide detox or residential care. If an assessment shows your client needs it, we coordinate through our partner, Ona Treatment Center in Browns Valley, CA.

Placement in a sober living house may be possible; ask our intake team.

1. We contact you. We respond to referrals within 24 hours. Referrals are checked after hours.
2. We check benefits and assess. With your client's consent, we verify insurance benefits and complete an assessment.
3. We recommend a level of care. IOP, telehealth IOP, PHP, or detox or residential care through Ona Treatment Center if needed. If ARC or Ona isn't the right fit, our intake team can help find another program.
4. We stay in touch. Once your client signs a written release of information, we share updates as needed and on request, as often as weekly, and a counselor is available to talk with you. If necessary, we call you when the level of care changes.

Admission is often possible within 24 hours of referral, depending on assessment and benefits.

Substance use treatment records are protected by federal law (42 CFR Part 2) and HIPAA. Here's what that means for your referral:

• You can send us a referral at any time. If you aren't sure about consent yet, choose "call me back" and share no client details. We'll discuss next steps by phone.
• To share client details, please have your client's permission to contact us on their behalf. A signed release from your organization is best.
• To receive updates from ARC, your client signs ARC's written consent naming you. It can be revoked in writing at any time.
• Our form: Sent over an encrypted connection to a HIPAA-secured system covered by a Business Associate Agreement. Access is limited to our intake team. Please don't include diagnoses, notes or records. If you need to send documents, call us first, or fax them to 530-420-3633.

ARC is in network with major insurance, including TRICARE West through TriWest, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare. ARC also works with VA Community Care (VA referral required). With your client's consent, we check benefits and explain them before admission.

Network participation and coverage vary by plan. Network participation does not imply endorsement by the Department of Defense or the Defense Health Agency.
