Delivers methadone and buprenorphine maintenance for opioid use disorder in southwestern Riverside County. Meets our four-signal flagship bar: DHCS license, SAMHSA 2025 match, CARF accreditation for Outpatient Treatment (OTP), and multi-LOC framing via the operator network and federal OTP regulatory compliance.

What makes this facility flagship tier

Our flagship tier requires four independent verification signals. Temecula Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center clears all four.

DHCS license: active at the time of our most recent review. License number 330081AP, expiration 7/31/2026. Program authorization: outpatient treatment (non-detox).

CARF SUD-specific accreditation: see dedicated section below for specific program details.

SAMHSA 2025 National Directory: matched.

Multi-level of care: evaluated against the operator’s program scope, whether across DHCS program codes, CARF-accredited programs, or co-located operator sites.

Clinical program overview

As a federally regulated OTP, Temecula Valley CTC provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) — methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone — combined with counseling and psychosocial support required by SAMHSA OTP regulations. CARF’s Outpatient Treatment (OTP) accreditation indicates specific OTP-regulatory compliance and clinical programming standard. No residential bed capacity; outpatient MAT delivery only.

Who this facility is a good fit for

Serves patients with opioid use disorder requiring MAT. DMC-ODS contracted; commercial-insurance and self-pay accepted. OTP regulatory structure requires daily or near-daily dosing for new methadone patients with take-home privileges earned over treatment tenure. The southwestern Riverside location serves a geographic gap where OUD treatment access has historically been thinner than Coachella Valley or Riverside metro.

Location and geography

40700 California Oaks Road in Murrieta serves southwestern Riverside County and Temecula Valley populations. Approximately 30 minutes from northern SD; 45 minutes from southern OC. Our opioid addiction pillar provides OUD clinical framework and MAT context.

CARF accreditation

Temecula Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center holds current CARF International accreditation for SUD-specific programming — specifically: Outpatient Treatment (OTP). CARF accreditation is a voluntary third-party clinical quality review covering program design, clinical outcomes measurement, health and safety, governance, and continuous improvement. It is not a regulatory requirement for California SUD treatment operation but signals operator investment in an independent quality-assurance process that many DHCS-licensed facilities do not pursue.

Families evaluating Temecula Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center can confirm current CARF accreditation status and program scope directly at the CARF provider search.

DHCS licensure detail

Temecula Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center operates under DHCS certification 330081AP (Certified), authorized for outpatient treatment (non-detox). DHCS records do not list a residential bed capacity (consistent with an outpatient-only or day-program authorization). The license is current through 7/31/2026.

DHCS enforcement records should be checked for any specific facility before admission. Our DHCS license verification walkthrough provides the tool-based methodology.

SAMHSA National Directory

Temecula Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center appears in the SAMHSA 2025 National Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Facilities, providing cross-source verification from a federal registry independent of both CARF and DHCS. SAMHSA directory presence is one of the four independent verification signals our flagship tier requires.
