Levels of Care We Offer for Drug Rehab in Sacramento
At Sacramento Wellness, we offer multiple levels of care for drug rehab in Sacramento. We ensure treatment fits each stage of recovery. Our team supports you through each level of care. It includes detox, residential treatment, and outpatient programs. The medical team changes the care plan as per your requirement.
Detox
Detox is an early step in recovery for many people. Detox helps manage early withdrawal symptoms as substances leave the body. Our medical team monitors symptoms and responds to changes. Our care may include medications, fluids, and support for sleep and nausea. Detox helps stabilize you before starting the next level of treatment.
Inpatient treatment
Inpatient treatment provides 24×7 care in a structured, supportive environment. You live on-site at our rehab center, with round the clock medical support. Each day includes therapy sessions and healthy meals. It also includes constructive activities that support recovery focus.
PHP
PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) is a daytime treatment offering intensive care without overnight stay. You spend the day in therapy, groups, and skill-building activities. After therapy sessions you can return home. It provides structure while allowing practice of recovery skills in real life.
IOP
IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) is a part-time treatment. Allows you to continue daily life while attending therapy sessions multiple times a week. You might come in for a few hours in the afternoons or evenings. IOP offers flexibility for work or school, but still provides counseling and support.
What We Treat in Our Sacramento Drug Rehab Program
Our drug rehab program treats a broad range of substance use disorders. We support recovery from illegal drugs and misused prescriptions. Our team also treats co-occurring mental health conditions that can appear after substance use.
Opioid use disorder
Our team treats opioid use disorder from heroin, fentanyl, and misused painkillers. Opioid withdrawal can cause body symptoms and intense cravings. Doctors may prescribe MAT medicines such as buprenorphine to reduce withdrawal symptoms and craving. Therapy then helps you address triggers and build coping skills that support long term recovery.
Stimulant use disorder
Stimulant use disorder can involve methamphetamine or cocaine. These drugs can affect mood, sleep, and decision making. Our program uses therapy and daily support to reduce return to use risk. We teach coping skills for cravings, stress, and high risk situations.
Benzodiazepine dependence
Benzodiazepines include Xanax and Valium. Misuse or long term use can lead to dependence. Stopping suddenly can cause serious withdrawal symptoms. Our team supports a taper when a medical team approves it. Our drug addiction treatment creates anxiety skills to control sedatives use.
Polysubstance use
Some people use more than one substance to change the effect or reduce discomfort. That pattern can raise overdose risk and complicate withdrawal. Our team reviews timing, substance dose, and mixing habits. We create a treatment plan that covers all types of drugs.
Prescription drug misuse
Misusing prescription drugs such as painkillers, sedatives, or stimulants can lead to serious addiction. Sacramento Wellness treats prescription drug misuse with a comprehensive approach. We use taper steps or detox care to support physical recovery. Counseling also helps you manage triggers and protect ongoing recovery.
Co occurring mental health conditions
We also address co-occurring mental health conditions along with drug addiction. Our care includes depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. We coordinate therapy and psychiatric support.
Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health
Mental health symptoms can push substance use. Substance use can also worsen mental health symptoms. Many people face anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic, or mood swings during addiction. Stress can raise symptoms and increase cravings.
Poor sleep can lower focus and raise irritability. Sacramento Wellness treats both concerns during care. We use one plan that includes therapy, skills practice, and psychiatric support. We address triggers, stress response, and unsafe thinking patterns.
We also support sleep routines, daily structure, and coping skills. Treating both areas can reduce relapse risk and support stability after discharge.

Do You Need Detox Before Drug Rehab
Not everyone needs detox before rehab. The need depends on the substance and your health risks. Alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines can cause physical dependence and risky withdrawal. In such cases, a medically supervised detox comes first. Other substances may bring fewer dangerous withdrawal risks.
Stimulants and cannabis can still cause cravings and mood changes. Some people still choose rehab without detox. Sacramento Wellness reviews your use history during intake. We also review symptoms, medical history, and current medicines. Then we recommend what you need first a detox or rehab.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does drug rehab last?
The length of drug rehab varies for each person. In general, residential programs last around 30 days, but some may extend 60 to 90 days or longer depending on progress. Outpatient programs can also follow, helping to continue support after the initial inpatient stay.
Can my family be involved in my treatment?
Yes, family involvement is encouraged. Many programs include family therapy sessions or education so loved ones can better understand addiction and learn how to support your recovery. Involving family can help repair trust and build a stronger support system for when you return home.
Can I work or go to school during rehab?
It depends on the program. In inpatient rehab, you would step away from work or school during the stay. However, intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP) programs are designed to be flexible, allowing you to attend treatment sessions while still maintaining some work or school responsibilities.
What happens after I complete rehab?
A good rehab program will set you up with an aftercare plan. After completing treatment, you may continue with outpatient therapy, join support groups, or live in a sober living home. Sacramento Wellness provides aftercare planning and alumni support to help you stay on track long-term.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal privacy laws (like HIPAA) protect your information, so your treatment at Sacramento Wellness is confidential. We will not share details of your care with anyone without your permission. You can seek help knowing that your privacy and personal information are safe.
