Success Stories

#WeSaveLives

Absolutely love my time at DTC! Great staff, counselors, and lots of resources! Would highly recommend this place.

Jack P

I have worked in various aspects of the substance abuse treatment industry since 2021. Not all treatment centers are alike, and I appreciate the challenge of trying to navigate this maze when almost all programs profess to have what you or your loved one needs. From my professional and lived experience, I confidently endorse this program. What would o do if it were my family? I have sent a loved one to Designs and can experientially say this family program is unmatched. Thank you, “Designs” team, for being one of the good ones.

“Design for Change Recovery is an outstanding recovery center. The founder and staff are some of the most knowledgeable people I know on the subjects of addiction and recovery. It is important for the families of addicted people to be educated and involved. Design for Change has three-day workshops for families about every six weeks and encourages family members to attend NarAnon meetings for support. Staff are always available to families to answer questions and concerns. My husband and I highly recommend Design for Change (DFC) for your loved one’s recovery from addicti...

“This was my first time in a outpatient program or any program for my alcoholism. I never thought I needed help with my drinking. But it got really bad and ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks going through detox. Then I couldn’t walk and had to go to physical therapy for awhile. Then I went to Dfc outpatient for a few months. I was very nervous at first, but the counselors and staff was amazing. What makes it special for me was getting sober with my wife. I would like to personally thank Tiffany, Rudy, Amy and the rest of the counselors. I really enjoyed it when Joe woul...

“When I arrived at DFC 2 months ago I never thought in a million years my life would change this much. I thought I was coming here to get off my DOC but this experience has been so much more. I feel like I’m becoming a whole person again and that my way of thinking is changing for the better. Shoutout to Nick, Adam, and Heather for making what could’ve been a grueling process fun and enjoyable. If you really want to change this is the place to be. I’ve never felt this supported and cared for in my life. Thanks DFC I owe you my life <3”

“If you are debating whether or not you should receive treatment let me make one thing easier for you, Design for Change is where to go. When I was afraid and didn’t know what to do I reached out and was connected with Georgie. She walked me through every step and was even there to greet me when I arrived. I was at Design for Change inpatient and outpatient for a total of nearly 8 months. The counselors, transportation and drivers, groups, rooms, and safety they provide is unmatched by any other treatment center. I not only felt safe my entire time in treatment but i felt...

“I have been to several rehabilitation facilities over the course of my using career and none have been even remotely as effective as Design for Change. The staff here are knowledgeable, experienced, and most of all passionate. One of the most unique features of this recovery center is the fact that families are invited to participate in their loved ones’ recoveries. There is a very tight-knit recovery community at DFC and it feels more like an extended family than anything. I highly recommend anybody actively in a substance use cycle to contact Design for Change right aw...

FAQ: Drug & Alcohol Rehab Center in Lancaster

Choosing an addiction treatment program is a big decision, and we understand you’ll have questions. To help you feel more confident in your choice, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our programs, the staff, and what to expect during detox and beyond.

What type of therapy is offered at your drug & alcohol rehab facility?

Design for Change Recovery provides a full continuum of care that integrates different therapies for substance use disorders. Treatment may include detox, residential treatment, outpatient programs, and partial hospitalization, depending on your needs and coverage.

How much does treatment cost at your Lancaster rehab?

Treatment cost can vary because each person’s needs are different. The final amount may depend on the type of treatment, length of stay, location, insurance coverage, co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses.

All things considered, the approximate cost of a 30-day program can range from $5,000 to $20,000. Your actual cost may be lower or higher based on your insurance and treatment plan. Our admissions team can review your benefits and explain possible financial responsibilities before you begin care.

How can I stage an intervention?

An intervention can help a loved one understand how addiction affects their life and relationships. Because emotions can run high, it helps to speak with a professional interventionist before arranging the conversation.

Professional guidance can help your family plan what to say, how to stay focused, and how to respond if your loved one becomes upset or resistant. The goal is to encourage treatment with care, clarity, and support, not pressure or shame.

Can I use insurance for drug & alcohol rehab in Lancaster, CA?

Yes, many clients use insurance for treatment. Design for Change accepts plans from most major PPO and HMO insurance providers, including both in-network and out-of-network policies. Each policy is different, so verification matters.

Coverage length depends on clinical necessity, treatment progress, and insurance authorization. If you don’t know your insurance ID number, our admissions team can try to locate your policy with other information. Insurance may also cover detox, residential care, partial hospitalization, and outpatient services. We’ll contact your provider, review benefits, and explain possible costs before admission.

Can I use Medicaid and Medicare at your Lancaster rehab for drugs & alcohol?

Design for Change does not have a contract with State Funded Insurance. This means Medicaid and Medicare may not be accepted directly through our program.

If you have questions about coverage, our admissions team can still help you understand your options. We can review your insurance information, explain what we can verify, and help you decide the next step based on your current benefits.

Do I have to tell my employer I’m attending rehab?

No, you don’t have to tell your employer unless you choose to share that information. Your privacy matters. Federal law and HIPAA regulations help protect your treatment information from being released without your written consent.

Some employers offer Employee Assistance Programs, often called EAPs. These programs may help you seek care while supporting job protection, time away from work, and privacy. Our team can answer questions about confidentiality before treatment begins.
