Why California patients choose private pay

California has some of the most comprehensive insurance coverage in the country — and yet a substantial number of Californians actively choose to pay out of pocket for addiction treatment. This is not a compromise. For many patients, it is the point.

When a health insurance claim is filed for addiction treatment, a diagnostic code is permanently attached to your health record. An explanation of benefits is generated and may be mailed to your home address. Depending on your employer's plan structure, aggregate health data may be accessible to plan administrators. For patients in law, medicine, finance, aviation, law enforcement, or any profession where a substance use diagnosis carries professional consequences — this paper trail is not acceptable.

Rezolv Health California was built for exactly these patients. Your provider sees you by secure video. Your prescription is sent directly to your pharmacy. Your treatment is protected under HIPAA and exists nowhere except your medical record.

Services available in California

Opioid use disorder — Suboxone and buprenorphine

Rezolv Health California prescribes and manages buprenorphine (Suboxone) for opioid use disorder via telehealth. No in-person clinic visit is required under current federal telehealth regulations. Your first appointment, your follow-ups, and your prescription management all happen by secure video from wherever you have a few minutes of privacy.

Buprenorphine is the gold standard for opioid use disorder treatment. According to SAMHSA, patients treated with buprenorphine have significantly lower rates of illicit opioid use, overdose, and mortality compared to patients who do not receive medication-assisted treatment. It is not a substitute addiction — it is evidence-based medicine.

Alcohol use disorder — naltrexone and related medications

Rezolv Health California prescribes naltrexone and other FDA-approved medications for alcohol use disorder. Naltrexone reduces cravings and blocks the rewarding effects of alcohol, making sustained reduction or abstinence significantly more achievable for many patients. Treatment is managed entirely by telehealth.

Kratom addiction treatment

Kratom (mitragynine/7-hydroxymitragynine) dependence is increasingly common and significantly underserved by traditional addiction treatment programs. Rezolv Health California offers physician-supervised treatment for Kratom addiction, including medical management of withdrawal and a structured path to cessation. If you have been using Kratom daily and cannot stop on your own, we can help.

See the California pricing band above for our current monthly membership fee. The same flat fee applies to all service lines (opioid use disorder, alcohol use disorder, Kratom addiction) and covers all telehealth appointments, prescription management, withdrawal management, and ongoing clinical monitoring.

Medication costs are entirely separate. You fill prescriptions at your pharmacy of choice and pay your pharmacy's cash price or use any discount program available to you (GoodRx, manufacturer savings programs, etc.). Rezolv Health does not mark up or resell medications.

HSA and FSA funds are generally eligible for use toward physician visits and prescription costs. Confirm with your plan administrator before applying funds to your membership.

California's addiction treatment gap

Approximately 10 percent of Californians who need substance use treatment receive it, according to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The barriers are not uniform — for some patients the barrier is access, cost, or geography. For a significant number of Californians, the barrier is privacy.

California is home to a disproportionate number of professionals whose careers create a genuine conflict between seeking treatment and protecting their livelihood. Physicians, attorneys, pilots, law enforcement officers, financial professionals, and others face licensing board scrutiny, employer drug testing, or security clearance requirements that make a treatment record consequential in ways that don't apply to the general population.

Telehealth — and specifically private-pay telehealth — changes the calculus for these patients. Rezolv Health California provides physician-led, evidence-based treatment with the kind of discretion that makes treatment possible for people who would otherwise go untreated.

Frequently asked questions

What is Rezolv Health California? Rezolv Health California is a telehealth addiction medicine practice serving patients throughout California. We treat opioid use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and kratom dependence using FDA-approved medications — all by secure video visit, with no clinic required.

How does private-pay work? Why don't you accept insurance? Rezolv Health California is a private-pay practice by design. We charge a flat monthly rate that covers all your telehealth appointments and prescription management. Because we don't bill insurance, there's no claim, no explanation of benefits, and no diagnostic code in your insurance file. For many of our patients, that privacy is the whole point.

Do you accept Medi-Cal or Medicare in California? No. We don't accept any insurance in California — not Medi-Cal, not Medicare, not commercial plans. All care is private pay. If you need insurance-covered addiction treatment in California, we recommend contacting SAMHSA's national helpline or searching for a Medi-Cal-contracted provider in your area.

What conditions do you treat in California? We treat opioid use disorder (with buprenorphine/Suboxone), alcohol use disorder (with naltrexone and other FDA-approved medications), and kratom dependence.

How much does treatment cost in California? We charge a flat monthly rate. Visit our California page for current pricing. There are no per-visit charges, no intake fees, and no cancellation penalties. Medication is separate and filled at your pharmacy.

Do I need to come in person anywhere? No. Rezolv Health California operates entirely by telehealth. You complete an intake form online, meet with your physician by secure video, and fill your prescription at any California pharmacy. You never need to visit a clinic.

Which cities and areas of California does Rezolv Health serve? All of California. We serve patients in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, the Bay Area, Sacramento, the Central Valley, the Inland Empire, and everywhere else in the state. Telehealth doesn't have a service radius — if you're a California resident, you're eligible.

What is buprenorphine, and is it the same as Suboxone? Suboxone is the most recognized brand name for buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is the active ingredient — a partial opioid agonist that stabilizes opioid receptors without producing the euphoria or dangerous respiratory depression of full opioids. It is one of the most evidence-supported medications in addiction medicine and is classified as a first-line treatment for opioid use disorder by SAMHSA, ASAM, and the WHO.

Do I have to be in withdrawal before I can start Suboxone? Not necessarily. Traditional protocols required patients to be in mild-to-moderate withdrawal before starting buprenorphine. A newer approach called low-dose initiation (also called microinduction or the Bernese method) allows some patients to start at a very low dose without waiting for withdrawal. Your physician will discuss the right approach for your specific situation at your first appointment.

What happens if I relapse while on treatment? Relapse is a common part of recovery — it doesn't mean treatment has failed and it doesn't mean you'll be discharged from care. It's a clinical signal that something needs adjusting. Your physician will work with you to understand what happened and modify your treatment plan accordingly.

Can I treat both alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder at the same time? That depends on your clinical situation. If you're dealing with both, your physician will evaluate the safest and most effective approach — which may involve treating one at a time or a combined plan. Disclose both at intake so your physician has the full picture.

How long does treatment typically last? There's no fixed timeline. Research consistently shows that longer duration of buprenorphine treatment is associated with better outcomes for opioid use disorder. We don't impose arbitrary time limits — treatment duration is a clinical decision you make with your physician based on your situation.

Is my information reported to anyone? My employer, my family, law enforcement? No. Your records are protected under the same federal and state privacy laws that govern all medical care — including additional federal protections that apply specifically to substance use disorder records (42 CFR Part 2). We don't contact employers, family members, insurers, or law enforcement. Because we don't bill insurance, there's also no insurance claim for anyone to see.
