About La Cheim Behavioral Health Services

Set in Oakland, La Cheim offers day and intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment for mental health and substance use disorders for adults in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their programs meet in groups for 3 to 5 days, either in person, virtually, or hybrid.
La Cheim organizes group discussions to cover both processes and skills. Process groups can include people with similar concerns (such as grief or suicidality) or demographic backgrounds (such as neurodiverse, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ groups). The skill groups provide tools to cope and recover using a specific therapy style, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), body wisdom, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), expressive arts, and self-empowerment. La Cheim also facilitates gender-specific self-expression groups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does La Cheim Behavioral Health Services accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (510) 596-8350 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other TN centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does La Cheim Behavioral Health Services offer?

SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.

How do I start treatment at La Cheim Behavioral Health Services?
Call the facility directly at (510) 596-8350 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.
