Moreno Valley is the second-largest city in Riverside County and sits within one of Southern California’s most active treatment markets. Detox and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment facilities in the city are licensed and certified by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).
Riverside County participates in California’s DMC-ODS program. This means Medi-Cal members in Moreno Valley can access the full continuum of care, including inpatient withdrawal management, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs and narcotic treatment programs.
The RUHS Medical Center campus at 26520 Cactus Ave, Moreno Valley, houses publicly funded services and accepts Medi-Cal, Medicare and sliding-scale self-pay. Private facilities in and around the city accept most major commercial insurers, and several operate on a sliding-scale or state-funded basis for those without insurance.
Fentanyl and methamphetamine are the primary drivers of overdose deaths in Riverside County. Moreno Valley has been identified as a service area under state-authorized harm reduction programs, and the county’s Riverside Overdose Data to Action (RODA) initiative provides ongoing surveillance data to guide local response.
If you are trying to decide between inpatient and outpatient options, understanding the levels of care for drug and alcohol detox can help clarify which setting matches your clinical needs.
Riverside County also received opioid settlement funds from national pharmaceutical litigation. The City of Moreno Valley manages its own share of those funds, directing money toward prevention, education and naloxone access for residents.
