What This Treatment Is

MAT for Executives at Elevated Healing is Medication-Assisted Treatment designed around the practical constraints of professionals whose roles carry high visibility, travel demands, or public exposure. The clinical substance is unchanged from any other patient’s MAT — FDA-approved medications combined with therapy — but the scheduling, confidentiality accommodations, and communication structure are built for people who cannot afford disclosure to disrupt career or family stability.

The Compliance Reality for Executives

Executives, board members, and senior professionals often face specific pressures: professional licensing bodies, disclosure obligations, insurance considerations, and the practical reality that missed appointments raise questions. Our program is designed to work within those realities. Scheduling flexes around board meetings and travel. Telehealth follow-up minimizes commute exposure. Documentation is compliant with HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, and communication with any third party requires written authorization.

Who This Program Is For

This program fits 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 is the same care any patient receives. What differs is the operational wrapper: private intake rooms, small-caseload clinicians, off-peak scheduling options, and a communication structure designed around your privacy priorities.

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

Our Woodland Hills executive MAT is delivered by board-certified psychiatric providers and licensed therapists with experience serving high-profile patients. Clinical rigor is the same. What changes is how the program fits around your life — not the other way around.

Practically:

  • Intake conversations often begin outside standard business hours.
  • Initial evaluation and MAT induction happen at the campus with routing planned for discretion.
  • Follow-up visits can typically move to telehealth after stabilization.
  • Written communication protocols established at intake: who can be contacted, through which channels, and what may be documented.
  • Coordination with any personal physician or executive medical program (with your authorization).
Evidence base. Peer-reviewed research on MAT does not stratify by professional status — the medications work the same. What varies is treatment retention, and executive-level programs consistently show that operational fit (scheduling, confidentiality, communication structure) drives adherence for this population.

Access at Our Woodland Hills Campus

Our campus is at 21250 Califa St, Ste 114, Woodland Hills, CA 91367, in the West San Fernando Valley. Access is straightforward:

  • From the 101 (Ventura Freeway) — exit at De Soto Avenue or Winnetka Avenue and drive a short distance north.
  • From the 118 (Ronald Reagan Freeway) — take Winnetka or De Soto south into the West Valley.
  • Nearby communities — Warner Center, Winnetka, West Hills, Canoga Park, Tarzana, and Encino are all a short drive.
  • Telehealth — after your initial in-person assessment, most follow-up psychiatric visits can be done by video for California residents.

Parking and check-in details are provided at intake. If accessibility accommodations are needed, tell our admissions team when you call.

Insurance, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How confidential is executive MAT?
Fully protected under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2. We do not disclose treatment status or clinical details without your written authorization, except in narrow legal circumstances. Practical measures include HIPAA-compliant scheduling, secure billing that limits mailbox visibility, and communication protocols established at intake.
Can I travel during treatment?
Yes, with planning. Buprenorphine and naltrexone maintenance can be continued across most jurisdictions with appropriate prescription management. Vivitrol requires monthly return for injection but scheduling flexes around travel. Your team will coordinate with your calendar.
What about drug testing for licensing bodies or employer contracts?
Buprenorphine and naltrexone are prescription medications and can be documented as such. If your professional licensing body requires disclosure of controlled substances, we can prepare documentation supporting legitimate medical use. Timing and content of disclosure is your decision, coordinated with legal counsel where appropriate.
Do you accept executive medical program insurance?
Yes, most commercial and executive medical benefit designs cover MAT. We verify specific benefits within one business day. Some executives prefer self-pay to keep treatment outside their insurance record — that is an option and can be discussed. Reach us at (747) 888-3000.
Is telehealth an option after the first visit?
Yes. Once you’re clinically stable, most psychiatric follow-ups and therapy sessions can be delivered by video for California residents. This is particularly useful for executives with travel-heavy schedules.
How do you handle communication with my family or team?
Communication with any third party — spouse, colleague, physician, attorney — requires your written authorization and is coordinated on a person-by-person basis. Nothing is disclosed without your approval, and preferences can be updated at any time.
