About CAYA Clinic

Located near I-90 and Highway 151 in Madison, CAYA Clinic, treating individuals with substance use, eating disorders, and other mental health concerns, is the region's first non-profit harm reduction psychotherapy practice. The clinic is easily accessible by bus lines 60 and P, with on-site parking available.
CAYA Clinic offers individual and group therapy, moderation management, and access to harm reduction supplies. Their therapeutic approaches include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), prolonged exposure (PE), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic approaches to trauma. Additionally, CAYA offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Journey Clinical, targeting conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, chronic pain, and substance use disorders.
CAYA, short for "Come As You Are," emphasizes a non-judgmental, client-centered approach that prioritizes individual autonomy. They welcome all individuals, regardless of health insurance status, and emphasize serving historically marginalized communities through a sliding fee scale. CAYA’s mission focuses on reducing drug-related harms, preventing overdose, and empowering clients through evidence-based harm reduction therapy techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CAYA Clinic accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (608) 844-8473 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 CAYA Clinic offer?
Does CAYA Clinic have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does CAYA Clinic use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at CAYA Clinic?
Call the facility directly at (608) 844-8473 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.
