About Key Healthcare

Key Healthcare offers various levels of care to meet the needs of adolescents ages 13-17 who have substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Their goal is to help teens get back on track by drawing on their strengths in order to realize their potential for happiness and success. They offer a 45-60 day residential program in a luxury home in Malibu. This program is for any teens with mental health or substance use issues that cannot be managed in an outpatient setting. Mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, gender or sexual orientation concerns, self-esteem issues, self-harm and suicidality can all be addressed in treatment. Key provides online education for each teen while in treatment. Each day, the teens start out with 3 hours of schooling before diving into counseling sessions. After school, Key provides individual and/or group counseling and family-centered treatment. Through the use of evidence-based therapies, teens can explore their own emotions, relate to others and learn new coping skills to move forward. Additionally, Key uses holistic therapies like yoga, surf therapy, hiking and art therapy to help reduce stress and gain greater self-awareness.
For teens who don’t need inpatient treatment, Key provides intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP). These programs offers a structured, therapeutic environment either throughout the day or for a few hours at night, depending on the teen’s needs. In addition to 1-on-1 counseling and group therapy, teens learn recovery skills and participate in family sessions weekly to give them the boost they need before stepping down to outpatient treatment. Key also offers an extended care program for teen boys, which is a combination of PHP and sober living. In this program, boys are given the opportunity to develop life skills and build relationships that can help ensure sobriety. They also attend daily 12-Step meetings, participate in household chores and fitness activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Key Healthcare accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call 310-600-5658 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other SC centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Key Healthcare offer?
Does Key Healthcare have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does Key Healthcare use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at Key Healthcare?
Call the facility directly at 310-600-5658 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.
