Ventura County Behavioral Health Dept is a publicly-supported substance abuse treatment center serving the Simi Valley, CA community and surrounding Ventura County areas. Located at 3150 Los Angeles Avenue in Simi Valley, this facility specializes in helping adolescents, teens, and adults overcome addiction while addressing co-occurring mental health conditions. The center is committed to making comprehensive care accessible to all individuals, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Ventura County Behavioral Health Dept offers outpatient substance abuse treatment services designed to support recovery while allowing patients to maintain their daily responsibilities. Outpatient care is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate substance use disorders, those transitioning from higher levels of care, or those who need flexible scheduling around work, school, or family obligations. The facility has specialized programming for adolescents and teens, recognizing that young people require age-appropriate treatment approaches and support. Additionally, the center provides dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring disorders, meaning clinical staff are trained to address substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously—such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or trauma-related conditions. This integrated approach improves outcomes by treating the whole person, not just the addiction.
Ventura County Behavioral Health Dept accepts multiple forms of payment to ensure treatment is accessible: Medicaid, state-financed insurance plans, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and self-payment options. The facility offers sliding fee scales based on income, so cost should never be a barrier to getting help. Insurance plans covering substance abuse treatment are required to provide mental health and addiction services at parity with other medical conditions under the Mental Health Parity Act, and the Ventura County Behavioral Health Dept staff can explain your coverage and out-of-pocket costs upfront.
If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse, co-occurring mental health challenges, or addiction, help is available. The team at Ventura County Behavioral Health Dept understands the courage it takes to seek treatment, and they are ready to support your recovery journey.
