At Revive Consulting Group, we specialize in helping new and existing behavioral health programs navigate the complex licensing and certification process required by the California Department of Health Care Services. Whether you're launching a new treatment center or bringing an existing program into compliance, our expert team offers full-spectrum guidance to get you approved—and keep you operating successfully.
Full-Service DHCS Application Management
We handle the entire licensing and/or certification process from start to finish—preparing and submitting your application (DHCS 6002 for licensure or DHCS 6040 for certification), collecting and organizing required documents, communicating with DHCS on your behalf, and tracking the status to ensure timely approval. Our attention to detail reduces delays and increases your chances of first-round approval.
Custom Program & Policy Development
Our team creates fully customized policies and procedures tailored to your program model, level of care, and site structure. Whether you’re launching detox, residential, outpatient, or MAT services, we align your documents with current DHCS requirements, Joint Commission standards (if applicable), and best practices in the field. We also help with mission statements, program narratives, and staffing plans.
Physical Site Planning & Readiness Walkthroughs
We help you prepare your facility to pass DHCS inspections, including room designation, signage, egress and fire safety requirements, medication storage protocols, and ADA accessibility. If needed, we coordinate with architects, general contractors, and interior designers to ensure your buildout or renovation meets licensing standards and timelines.
Compliance Audits for Existing Programs
Already operating? We conduct comprehensive mock audits to assess risk, documentation gaps, and operational shortfalls. We then deliver a detailed plan of correction and help you implement it—whether you're preparing for your first DHCS visit, recovering from a deficiency notice, or simply tightening up your systems before expanding.
Amendments, Renewals, and Expansions
Whether you’re updating your license, changing ownership, relocating, or expanding your capacity, Revive makes the amendment and renewal process simple and strategic. We’ll evaluate your options, manage the filings, and make sure your program stays uninterrupted and compliant through the transition.
Ongoing Operational Support & Training
We don’t disappear after your license is approved. We provide ongoing regulatory support for your leadership team and frontline staff, including document updates, file audits, training refreshers, and policy rollouts. With Revive as your compliance partner, you’ll always be prepared for changes in state law or audits from funding sources.
White-Label & Discreet Advisory Services
Whether you’re a private owner, developer, or investor, our services are fully confidential. We work behind the scenes to protect your business interests, maintain your brand visibility, and ensure your program reflects your unique goals. You get expert-level support without needing to build your own in-house compliance team.
