Care levels at Kairos - Coastline Services Outpatient Clinic

What Kairos - Coastline Services Outpatient Clinic offers: Kairos - Coastline Services Outpatient Clinic is an outpatient-focused program (Outpatient, Dual Dx) — patients live at home or in sober living and attend treatment sessions. This level of care is clinically appropriate for mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, or for patients stepping down from residential.

Most mismatches happen when the assessment is skipped or done inside the facility with a commercial interest in admission.

Insurance and payment

Kairos - Coastline Services Outpatient Clinic accepts both Medicaid and commercial insurance, which is the broadest payer profile and typically correlates with programs that operate at scale across the economic spectrum. The facility also accepts TRICARE or military benefits.

Avoid the moment by getting the written VOB before admission, not after.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Young adults, Seniors or older adults, Persons with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A facility's specialty designation is a starting filter, not an endorsement. The operational questions (who leads it, how many hours per week, what credentials) are where the actual answer lives.

Before you call
