Sacramento is the capital of California, and one of the most diverse cities in the world. As beautiful as the Golden State is, it also has a dark underside; around 3% of Californians report using illicit drugs, and the rate of substance abuse for young adults under the age of 25 is twice the national average.

We understand it can be scary to take the first step towards recovery, and we want to help you feel prepared and knowledgeable about what help is out there. You don’t need to go through this alone.

Those looking for extra creature comforts while they go through treatment will find paradise at Diamond House Detox, a luxury detox and residential treatment center for alcohol and drug addiction. Like its name suggests, Diamond House begins with medically supervised detox, helping patients to get substances out of their system and break physical withdrawal symptoms. After that, though, patients can enter into their top-rated residential treatment programs in beautiful homes around Sacramento county. All of their homes include luxury private rooms and an on-site private chef who prepares nutritious and delicious meals.

The only reason why Diamond House Detox isn’t number 1 on our list is because of its high cost. Because of all of these luxury amenities, Diamond House comes with a higher price tag than other options on our list; however, they do accept some private insurance, and you can fill out an insurance eligibility review on their website at no commitment or cost.

The best and most comprehensive addiction treatment in Sacramento is found at Cedar Point Recovery. This well-rounded rehab offers levels of care all along the continuum, from outpatient to residential. They even have in-between options like intensive outpatient for those who can’t commit to an inpatient program but need more help than just once a week counseling.

Once you’ve left Cedar Point’s inpatient detox program, you can work with their staff to find sober living accommodations that meet your needs. They work with luxury transitional housing units in the area to set their clients up with comfortable individual rooms while they continue to attend outpatient treatment.

Although insurance almost never pays for sober living houses, it will cover a great portion of your inpatient or outpatient treatment with Cedar Point, and the intake staff can work with you to figure out what your out-of-pocket costs might be. If you’re not sure what exactly you’re looking for from treatment, Cedar Point would be a fantastic first step.

Pathways Recovery offers inpatient treatment services for men in the Sacramento area struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. They can help men with supervising the detoxification process, but their primary program is residential; men live in a beautiful, comfortable home while they focus on evidence-based therapy models to recover from their addiction. After residents leave, they can choose to continue on with their treatment in their intensive outpatient program.

While some treatment centers focus only on 12-step models, Pathways takes a more holistic approach; they use a well-rounded treatment model that includes 12 steps as well as other therapy techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. They also have a heavy emphasis on physical fitness for mood improvement, and residents go work out with a personal trainer three times a week.

Although all addictions are detrimental, opioid addiction is particularly difficult - not to mention lethal. Opioids cause the most drug overdose deaths in America, but if you’re struggling with an opioid addiction, whether from heroin or prescription painkillers, help is available to you.

Because the physical symptoms of withdrawal from opioids can be so intense, many people opt for medication-assisted treatment as they’re breaking free from this particular addiction. Medications like methadone and Suboxone can help ease the withdrawal process when supervised by a medical professional.

MedMark Treatment Centers is a nationwide clinic that offers methadone as a medication assisted treatment for opioid addiction. Sacramento's location is just as reputable as any of their others, and you can feel confident that you’re in good hands here. If you’re ready to walk away from your opioid addiction, MedMark is your best bet. They accept many government-subsidized insurance plans, including VA and military plans.

Of course, they don’t only rely on alternative health methods; they also offer many evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and CBT. For those looking for a full range of treatment methods, not just a Western, evidence-backed view, New Dawn is a fantastic option.

If you’re feeling unsure about alternative healing methods, maybe this will convince you: New Dawn offers a one-year sobriety guarantee for patients graduating from their residential programs, and will provide you with free aftercare if that promise isn’t met.

The price of addiction is high; not only does drug and alcohol addiction come with physical and economic consequences, but sometimes they bring problems in other areas of life too, like trouble with the law. If you’ve found yourself with a DUI or otherwise mandated by the court to attend substance abuse treatment, then Bridges may be a good option for you. They have a specialized DUI program, on top of their STARS program which works specifically with people mandated by the court to attend treatment.

Bridges Inc. also has a sober living home for women with children, which can be difficult to find. Women who live in this home are allowed to bring up to two children with them under the age of 12 while they continue to work towards recovery. All of Bridges programs are offered on a sliding scale fee, dependent upon your income. If you’ve found yourself in hot waters as a result of your addiction, the people at Bridges can help.

Maybe the thought of entering into a residential rehab seems like too much for you at this time in your life, but you do want to start getting help for addiction. People go to weekly therapy for all sorts of mental health issues; why not for addiction, too?

The therapist who owns Recovery Hill, Kenny, offers a person-centered approach to recovery treatment on an outpatient basis. He develops a personal, trust-filled relationship with you to work to help you heal both your addiction and the reasons that got you there, like trauma. Because Kenny has successfully gone through recovery himself, you can trust that he’ll truly understand your experience and be able to empathize. This is also one of the few options on our list that treat adolescents as well as adults. Overall, Recovery Hill is the best option for private outpatient treatment in Sacramento.

You might have noticed that there are quite a few Methadone clinics on our list of best rehabs in Sacramento; this is because opioid addiction runs rampant in Sacramento, with over 60 opioid overdose deaths in the city in 2017. Plus, it takes a lot of courage to break an opioid addiction and start fresh; we want to make sure you’re well-equipped with all of the wonderful support that’s out there.

Sacramento Comprehensive Treatment Center offers medication-assisted treatment for opioids and other drugs; they deliver not only methadone but also Subutex and Suboxone, which are other fantastic options for helping with withdrawal symptoms.

This addiction treatment program in Sacramento offers two intensive outpatient options: one is their partial hospitalization program (PHP), in which patients attend individual and group counseling for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week but continue sleeping at home. One step down is their intensive outpatient program, which has a more flexible time commitment.

Day treatment can be an excellent option for those who can’t commit to residential care, so if this sounds like a good option for you, then Valley Recovery Center is the perfect place to receive treatment. They even have a free once-a-week alumni program, and people who’ve graduated from their day treatment can continue to get support as they continue on with their lives.

You may be leaving a residential treatment program and feeling worried about how you’ll transition back into your “normal life” at home. Or perhaps you’ve already spent a lot of time in rehab in the past, and what you need now is just a supportive environment in which you can be surrounded by other people going through the same recovery journey. If this sounds like you, then what you need might be a sober living facility.

Monarch Clean and Supportive Living Homes is the best option for people who are looking for a sober living home that comes with style and luxury. They have 3 beautiful homes in the Sacramento area that come with a live-in House Manager to help keep you accountable.

The only downside to Monarch’s homes are their cost; insurance won’t pay for sober living, so you’ll have to pay out-of-pocket, much like you would your rent. Check out Clean and Sober Transitional Living for a more affordable option.

Alpha Oaks has 5 beds for detoxification, and dozens more for rehabilitation. Because they’re partially funded by the Sacramento County Department of Health, they are able to offer exceptionally affordable treatment for those who really need it.

Young people have needs that are unique to their developmental age group; it’s difficult to place an adolescent in a treatment program designed for adults, and expect that it will be effective. It’s crucial that young adults and teens attend a treatment program that’s specially created to meet their needs. The best option in the Sacramento area for young people struggling with addiction can be found at The Pathway Program (not to be confused with Pathways Recovery, which treats adults).

Youth between the ages of 13 and 25 will find exceptional addiction treatment with The Pathway Program. On top of individual and group therapy for the youth themselves, they also offer family therapy and support for parents; their mission is to repair the broken family relationships that may have contributed to the young person’s addiction. If you’re looking for help for your child in Sacramento (or you’re a young person yourself who’s ready to get help), The Pathway Program is the first place you should call.

They are in-network with most private insurance companies (this means a low co-pay for patients) and even accept Medi-Cal for their outpatient programs. If you aren’t eligible for Medi-Cal, their outpatient programs are also offered on a sliding scale basis.

Particularly if you live in the rural areas outside of Sacramento, Granite Wellness is a fantastic option for treatment.

Although insurance won’t cover your stay here, like it won’t cover any sober living situation, Clean & Sober prides themselves on offering affordable rent in all of their 14 homes. This means that their houses are comfortable, but don’t come with luxury amenities; if you’re used to luxury and you’re willing to pay the cost then check out Monarch Living Homes.

Intensive outpatient programs are a great option for treatment that’s in between regular outpatient care and a residential program. Azure Acres’ location in Sacramento is an excellent IOP in which people recovering from addiction can attend weekly individual therapy and group treatment several times a week.

If you love your experience at Azure Acres and you’re looking to further your treatment with them, know that they have many more options, including residential care, in nearby Sonoma County, about two hours away. Unfortunately, their intensive outpatient program is the only option they have available in the Sacramento area; if you need residential treatment in Sacramento, check out New Dawn Treatment Centers.

They have two residential treatment facilities; one is for men only, and the other for women only.

Although most of the options on our list address alcohol and drug addiction, it is important to consider other types of rehabs as well. Although eating disorders aren’t the same as other types of addiction, the two complex disorders share many similarities. Comprehensive and intensive treatment is crucial for those suffering from disordered eating. Although many times we think of anorexia and bulimia when thinking about eating disorders, this clinic has a specialized program for binge eating disorder (although of course they treat other types of eating disorders as well).

The Center for Discovery is a residential eating disorder clinic for adult women that’s located about half an hour outside of Sacramento. The center is located on a beautiful, rural plot of land with a salt water pool, and uses alternative treatment methods like yoga therapy and tapping on top of other, more traditional treatments. The Center for Discovery is the best option for eating disorder treatment in the Sacramento area; the only downside to this clinic is that they only treat women.

We all know who Kaiser Permanente is, and that’s a testament to the health network’s excellent reputation for quality care across the nation. Kaiser’s addiction medicine center in Roseville Sacramento has a particularly good reputation for helping people struggling with alcohol and drug abuse, on top of mental health disorders. Attending rehab at Kaiser Permanente means that you can feel at ease knowing you’re in good hands. They only offer outpatient treatment at their Sacramento location, however.

One of the most excellent things about Kaiser’s addiction medicine department in Sacramento is that they have specialized programming designed for adolescents over the age of 13. The remainder of their programs are for adults, so if you’re looking for a treatment center that’s entirely dedicated to young people, check out The Pathways Program.

Sacramento Recovery was formerly the well-established D&A Detox, but recently went through an ownership change that came with a complete remodel and redesign of their clinic and programs. They not only offer treatment to address the addiction itself, but also the causes and consequences of addiction; for example, they have domestic violence and anger management classes for men.

It’s important to note that this is a non-medical facility, which means they won’t be able to help you with medication for physical withdrawal effects. If you’re looking for a methadone clinic (or other types of medication to help with withdrawal, like Suboxone), check out the BAART Program. Although people of any gender can enter their detox and inpatient units, their sober living facilities are for men only.
