About Heritage Oaks Hospital

Heritage Oaks Hospital is a 125-bed acute psychiatric hospital located in Sacramento, California that offers behavioral health care services across northern and central California.

The facility specializes in dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders, serving adolescents, adults, seniors and military service members and veterans.

Heritage Oaks provides a structured, supportive environment where an interdisciplinary team collaborates to help patients stabilize, heal and establish a foundation for lasting recovery.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Heritage Oaks Hospital provides comprehensive dual diagnosis care for individuals managing both a primary psychiatric diagnosis and chemical dependency.

I found that their services span inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming, allowing patients to step down through levels of care as they progress.

The program uses a multidisciplinary approach grounded in the 12-step disease model with treatment teams led by a psychiatrist and supported by nursing staff, clinical therapists, and case managers.

Sessions incorporate CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based and trauma-focused therapies, group work and medication management to address both mental health symptoms and substance use at their roots.

Trauma-Informed Care for Military and Veterans

I am impressed that Heritage Oaks also offers dedicated programming for military service members and veterans with trauma-informed approaches that recognize the unique experiences of those who have served.

Care integrates proven therapies and peer-aware support within the broader continuum of psychiatric and addiction services.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

An adult program in California uses various therapeutic methods to treat a person who is dependent on an addictive substance. Individuals aged 18 and older are eligible for treatment, which focuses on breaking the cycle of addiction and learning how to maintain sober living.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.

LGBTQ Friendly Rehab

The incidence of substance abuse and addiction is higher among the LBGTQ community. That’s why LBGTQ-friendly rehab in California is available, to offer specialized treatment that addresses the unique needs of individuals in this demographic.

Rehab For Veterans

Veterans often face unique challenges from combat and military deployment. Veteran’s rehab in California addresses these issues as part of a comprehensive addiction treatment program.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Seniors face unique challenges that may contribute to substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders. Elderly rehab in California is designed to address these challenges to provide relevant and safe treatment for seniors.

Teen & Adolescent Program

Typically, a young adult program in California can guide individuals from detox, through initial treatment, and extends to aftercare. Treatment gives young adults what they need to reset their lives and move to the next stage of life free from addiction.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetings. The focus will be on restructuring attitudes and thoughts to reduce cravings and develop skills to prevent relapse. The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.

Inpatient Rehab

Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient rehab in California reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program’s design.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention services in California provide the support you need to encourage a loved one to make wise recovery decisions. Professionals will help you work with your loved one to develop an intervention plan and get him or her started on their recovery journey.
