Treatment Options in Sacramento
The right level of care depends on the substance being used, how long someone has been using, their medical history, and their support system. Here is the full continuum available in and around Sacramento:
- Medical Detox — Medically supervised withdrawal management, typically 5-10 days. Required for alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids.
- Residential Treatment (RTC) — Live-in programs, typically 28, 60, or 90 days. Intensive daily therapy, structure, and peer support.
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) — 5-6 hours of treatment per day, 5 days per week. Step-down from residential or a higher level of outpatient care.
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP) — 9-15 hours of treatment per week. Evening options available for working adults.
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) — Buprenorphine (Suboxone), methadone, or naltrexone (Vivitrol) for opioid and alcohol use disorders.
- Sober Living / Recovery Housing — Structured sober environments following formal treatment. Critical for long-term recovery success.
How Insurance Works for Sacramento Rehab
Under the Affordable Care Act, all marketplace plans and most employer-sponsored insurance plans are required to cover substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit. This includes detox, residential, outpatient, and medication-assisted treatment.
