Medical Detox

Medical detox at SLT Addiction Treatment is the carefully supervised gateway to recovery. Our Sacramento campus delivers round-the-clock physician and nursing care within a secure, calming environment designed to minimize distress. We utilize medication-assisted treatment tailored to the substance involved — whether alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or stimulants — to reduce withdrawal severity and medical risk.

Most detox stays span 4 to 10 days, depending on the substances used and each patient's overall health profile. Throughout detoxification, our medical team monitors vital signs continuously, adjusts medications as clinical indicators evolve, and provides emotional reassurance to ease the psychological burden of early withdrawal. Upon medical clearance, patients transition directly into residential or outpatient programming without interruption.

Duration: 4–10 days
Setting: 24/7 medically supervised, on-site at our facility

Residential Treatment

Our residential program provides 30 to 90 days of focused, structured recovery within the Sacramento Valley's largest dedicated addiction treatment campus. Each of the 64 beds is supported by an individualized daily schedule of one-on-one therapy, evidence-based group work, family counseling, and restorative wellness activities.

Core therapeutic modalities include CBT, DBT, motivational enhancement therapy, and 12-Step integration, complemented by nutritional counseling, guided fitness, art therapy, and mindfulness practice along the tree-lined grounds near the Sacramento River. This layered approach constructs a multi-dimensional recovery foundation that patients carry forward into every stage of their lives after discharge.

Duration: 30–90 days
Capacity: 64 private beds

Outpatient Program

SLT Addiction Treatment offers both an Intensive Outpatient Program and a standard Outpatient track, providing meaningful clinical engagement without requiring full-time residence. Sessions are conducted at our Sacramento facility on a flexible weekly schedule, utilizing the same evidence-based modalities that define our residential care.

The IOP track consists of 10 to 15 hours per week of group therapy, individual counseling, relapse-prevention workshops, and skills-building sessions. As patients gain stability, they step down to our standard outpatient track at 4 to 6 hours per week. Both tracks include routine drug screening, family involvement opportunities, and thorough aftercare coordination with community resources throughout the Sacramento Valley and capital region.

Dual Diagnosis

Many individuals who come to SLT Addiction Treatment also carry co-occurring psychiatric conditions such as major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, or bipolar spectrum disorders. Our dual diagnosis track treats addiction and mental illness as inseparable components of the same clinical picture, because neglecting either one dramatically increases the likelihood of relapse.

Our psychiatric staff performs thorough diagnostic evaluations upon admission and collaborates daily with therapists and counselors to maintain a unified treatment strategy. Patients receive individual psychotherapy, targeted medication management, specialized co-occurring disorder groups, and practical coping techniques designed for real-world application. This fully integrated model has contributed to some of the strongest sustained recovery outcomes of any program in the Sacramento capital region.
