A Drug Medi-Cal-approved program can provide substance use disorder (SUD) treatments to qualified members dealing with alcohol or drug misuse. Medi-Cal is a California Medicaid program that provides low-cost and some free health insurance to families and people with low income and resources. Waiver programs make many Medi-Cal treatments, including those for treating drug use problems, available. California's Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) Waiver modification received federal authorization in 2015. The approval broadened the scope of services to cover more people. It mandated the availability of wider evidence-based treatments for SUDs. Case management, withdrawal management, physician consultation, recovery services, and the possibility to give medication-assisted therapy (MAT) and partial hospitalization are part of the DMC-ODS plan.
