About La Cheim School

Set in the suburb of El Sobrante, La Cheim School provides a private education for children and adolescents in grades 6 to 12. This school program has mental healthcare support, learning disability support, and flexibility with students' individualized education plans (IEPs). La Cheim School serves students in San Francisco, Solano, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties. Each classroom has a max of 12 students, plus staff trained on evidence-based interventions. La Cheim brings in social workers, outside therapists, group home staff, and advocates as needed so students have the right support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does La Cheim School accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (510) 243-2360 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other MA centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does La Cheim School offer?
Does La Cheim School have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does La Cheim School use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at La Cheim School?
Call the facility directly at (510) 243-2360 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.
