What This Treatment Is
MAT for Executives at Elevated Healing is Medication-Assisted Treatment structured around the practical realities of professionals whose roles carry high visibility. The clinical substance is unchanged from standard MAT — FDA-approved medications combined with therapy — but the operational wrapper is built for people who cannot let treatment scheduling disrupt career, family, or public reputation. For Calabasas residents, care is delivered from the Woodland Hills campus, about 15 minutes north via US-101.
Why This Population Needs a Different Wrapper
Executives and senior professionals often face particular pressures: licensing bodies, disclosure obligations, insurance panels that may see prescription records, and the practical reality that missed board meetings raise questions. Our program is designed to fit within these realities. Small-caseload clinicians preserve privacy. Off-peak scheduling reduces exposure. Telehealth follow-up minimizes visible clinic visits. Documentation follows HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2.
Who This Program Is For
Adults with opioid or alcohol use disorder who hold executive, senior professional, board, or public-facing roles. It is not a luxury upgrade — the clinical care matches what any patient receives. The differentiator is how the program operates around your privacy priorities: private intake, discreet scheduling, communication protocols established at intake, and coordination with any personal physician on your terms.
Our Care Model: Specialty-Led, Distinct Primary Tracks
Elevated Healing operates separate primary treatment tracks for Mental Health and Substance Use, each led by the appropriate clinical specialty from day one. When both are present, our teams coordinate care across tracks so the full clinical picture is addressed without collapsing treatment into a single generalized program.
This is different from a blended or generalized model. Read more on our Care Model page.
Elevated Healing’s Specialty-Led Approach
Executive MAT for Calabasas patients is delivered by board-certified psychiatric providers and licensed therapists experienced in serving high-profile patients. The commute from Calabasas is often an advantage: short enough to fit into a busy calendar, far enough from your immediate area to preserve privacy.
What that looks like:
- Intake conversations begin outside standard business hours if preferred.
- Initial evaluation and MAT induction at the Woodland Hills campus (~15 min via US-101), routing planned for discretion.
- Most follow-up visits move to telehealth once stability is established.
- Written communication protocols documented at intake: who can be contacted, through which channels.
- Coordination with any personal physician or executive medical program (with your authorization).
Access from Calabasas
Our physical location is at 21250 Califa St, Ste 114, Woodland Hills, CA 91367, about a 15-minute drive from Calabasas via US-101 in normal traffic.
- From central Calabasas — US-101 East, exit at Winnetka Avenue or De Soto Avenue, then a short drive north.
- From Hidden Hills or Woodland Hills-adjacent areas — many patients complete the trip in under 15 minutes.
- From Agoura Hills or Westlake Village — allow about 20–25 minutes via US-101.
- Telehealth — after your initial in-person assessment, most follow-up psychiatric visits can be done by video across California, reducing travel burden for maintenance and step-down care.
New patients typically complete their initial evaluation in person; ongoing follow-up can be scheduled remotely when clinically appropriate.

Learn about telehealthInsurance, Cost, and Getting Started
Most commercial insurance plans cover mat for executives under mental health and substance use disorder benefits, which are subject to federal parity requirements under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. Parity means insurers cannot impose stricter limits on behavioral health services than they apply to physical health services — a real legal protection worth knowing you have when you call.
The first step is a conversation with our admissions team. This call is free, confidential, and carries no obligation. During it, we:
- Verify your insurance benefits within one business day.
- Confirm what’s covered, what your copay or coinsurance will be, and whether prior authorization applies.
- Start any required prior authorization on your behalf so you’re not stuck on hold with your insurer.
- Schedule a clinical evaluation — usually within a few business days of your first call, sooner when the situation is time-sensitive.
If insurance doesn’t cover the service or your plan design doesn’t fit, self-pay options can be discussed. There is no charge to have this conversation. Reach us at (747) 888-3000 or use our insurance verification form.
What Progress Looks Like
Recovery through mat for executives is not a straight line, and durable clinical outcomes rarely happen in weeks. Realistic timelines matter here more than optimistic promises. Most patients notice measurable improvement in the first month of consistent treatment — reduced cravings, more stable mood, better sleep, easier engagement with therapy. Substantive behavioral change typically takes root over three to six months.
Progress is reviewed at every clinical visit. We measure it in specifics: frequency of the target behavior, functional recovery in work and relationships, sleep quality, and — where medications are involved — how well the pharmacology is holding cravings and side effects. When something isn’t working, we adjust. That might mean a dose change, a therapy focus shift, or a step up or down in level of care. The plan follows the patient’s clinical picture, not the other way around.
Setbacks are treated as clinical data, not moral failure. If a relapse or symptom flare happens, the team’s job is to understand what led to it and refine the plan. Patients are not discharged for a relapse. Long-term recovery is often what happens after the acute treatment phase ends, and we plan for that from the first visit — through aftercare planning, coordinated hand-offs, and telehealth follow-up available across California.
Confidentiality and HIPAA Protections
Treatment records at Elevated Healing are protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and, for substance use records specifically, under 42 CFR Part 2 — a federal regulation providing additional protection for substance use disorder treatment information. That means treatment status and clinical details are not disclosed to family members, employers, or third parties without your written authorization, except in narrowly defined legal circumstances (imminent harm, court order).
Practical protections include HIPAA-compliant scheduling and communication systems, secure insurance verification channels, and billing structured to minimize what appears on statements. Patients with heightened confidentiality concerns can request specific accommodations at intake — arrival timing, check-in flow, telehealth-first scheduling — and our admissions team will confirm what’s available.
