Inquiries are typically handled the same day; please allow up to one business day for a response. An inquiry begins a conversation. It does not reserve a room or guarantee admission.

Prescribed medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is welcome. Independent providers handle prescribing and treatment.
Residents can work or attend school. In most cases, they can continue with their existing independent IOP; discuss the individual arrangement with staff.
Clear about our role
Citronia provides housing, not detoxification, medical or psychiatric care, or clinical treatment. The home cannot meet a need for those services from Citronia.
Independent clinicians assess care needs and recommend treatment. If treatment is needed before sober living, staff can help explore providers and coordinate a transition. Confirm the housing arrangement before planning a move.
Housing costs and outside care
Ask staff for current housing rates. Staff confirm cash-pay rates, possible individual housing assistance and remaining housing costs. Independent treatment costs and insurance decisions are separate.
See the amenities and included essentials. Food is not provided. Residents can use the shared kitchen.
Ask for current housing costsHaving Medi-Cal does not prevent residency, but Medi-Cal cannot be used for the insurance-assistance option.
For residents with private insurance attending an appropriate independent outpatient or IOP program, housing assistance is determined jointly by Citronia and the outside program, case by case, and is not guaranteed.
Citronia does not bill insurance for housing. The provider and insurer verify treatment benefits and costs; staff confirm any assistance and remaining housing costs.
