About Us

At Esteves, we specialize in helping behavioral health programs across California navigate the complex regulatory landscape of DHCS licensing, certification, and Joint Commission accreditation. Whether you're launching a new 6-bed residential detox facility or expanding into outpatient and MAT services, we provide the tools, structure, and support to help your program launch ethically, efficiently, and in full compliance.

We work with:

• Startups launching residential, detox, or outpatient treatment centers
• Existing facilities transitioning to DHCS certification or Medi-Cal billing
• Operators preparing for Joint Commission accreditation or re-survey
• Programs needing help with corrective action responses, policy overhauls, or performance improvement
