Medical Directorship Services

Physician Leadership for Behavioral Health & SUD Facilities

Rume Health provides experienced medical directors, supervising physicians, and telehealth coverage for treatment facilities across Southern California — so your program stays compliant, your team stays supported, and your census keeps growing.

The Challenge

Your medical director shouldn't be your biggest operational risk.

Every licensed SUD and behavioral health facility in California depends on physician oversight — for licensing, for accreditation, for admissions, and for quality of care. But finding and keeping the right physician is one of the hardest problems in treatment operations.

Directors leave. Coverage gets stretched across too many sites. Vacations and turnover create compliance exposure overnight. And a vacancy that lasts weeks can slow admissions, stall expansion plans, and put your license at risk.

Rume Health exists to take that risk off your plate.

Physician coverage built around your program

Not a one-size-fits-all contract.

Medical Directorships

Full or fractional medical director services for detox, residential, PHP/IOP, and outpatient programs. Our physicians take genuine ownership of clinical oversight: protocols, admissions criteria, chart review, staff collaboration, and licensing readiness.

Fractional Coverage

Pay for the physician hours your license and census actually require — not a full-time salary. Ideal for small and mid-size facilities that need real oversight without full-time cost.

Interim & Vacation Coverage

A physician vacancy shouldn't stop admissions. We place licensed, SUD-experienced physicians on an interim basis — typically within weeks — to keep your facility compliant while you search, or to cover planned absences seamlessly.

Supervising Physicians

Physician supervision for NP- and PA-driven programs that meets California requirements and actually supports your clinical team — responsive, engaged, and documented.

Telehealth Physician Coverage

Reliable physician access for facilities in coverage deserts or with multi-site needs. Fast to deploy, fully compliant, and built into your workflows.

Psychiatry & Behavioral Health Support

Psychiatric consultation and prescriber support for dual-diagnosis and behavioral health programs.

Quality, Policy & Compliance Support

Clinical policy development, QA review, and survey/accreditation preparation — from physicians who know what surveyors look for.

Why facilities across Southern California choose Rume Health.

SUD & behavioral health specialists.

Our physicians work in addiction treatment settings every day. They know ASAM criteria, MAT protocols, DHCS licensing expectations, and what accreditation surveys actually require.

Built around your facility.

Coverage is structured to your levels of care, census, and licensing requirements — and it scales as you grow.

Reliability you can document.

Defined availability, documented oversight, and responsive communication. When a surveyor asks about physician involvement, you'll have the answer in writing.

We stay engaged after the contract is signed — supporting your team, your programs, and your growth plans.
