About Cardinal Clinic

Cardinal Clinic is a private mental health hospital set in the quiet countryside with over 50 years of experience in the field of mental health and addiction treatment. With an experienced staff, Cardinal provides a personalized treatment plan addressing primary anxiety, depression, personality disorders, gambling addiction, internet addiction, eating disorders, and more. They also offer alcohol detox and treatment. All of these options are available in an inpatient or outpatient setting, depending on the needs of the client.
During treatment, clients receive individual therapy, group counseling, and enjoy gourmet dining. They also have the opportunity for meditative nature walks or gardening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Cardinal Clinic accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call +44 (118) 230 3478 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other CA centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Cardinal Clinic offer?
Does Cardinal Clinic have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does Cardinal Clinic use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at Cardinal Clinic?
Call the facility directly at +44 (118) 230 3478 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
