About Placer County Adult System of Care

Placer County Adult System of Care is a county operated substance use and mental health treatment provider in Auburn, California, offering adults and seniors a practical first step toward recovery.

This access point connects individuals to a full continuum of care that includes withdrawal management, residential and outpatient treatment, medication assisted treatment and recovery services.

People, I've found, often appreciate the low-barrier, nonjudgmental approach that meets them wherever they are in their recovery journey.

MAT Services with a Recovery Focus Continuum of Care

The county's substance use system provides a continuum of care that includes withdrawal management, residential treatment, outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, medication assisted treatment, recovery services and physician consultation.

Therapeutic approaches include Motivational Interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, group and individual psychotherapy, with telehealth options.

Services are designed for adults, young adults and seniors, including those with co-occurring mental health and substance use needs.

Pregnant and parenting people who use substances, including IV drug users, receive referral and admission priority and justice-involved individuals are supported through inreach referrals.

Free Substance Use Screening in Auburn

The Adult System of Care office is in Auburn, serving Placer County residents.

It offers free, first-come, first-served substance use screening clinics on Tuesdays and Fridays, with no appointment required.

For those uninsured or with private insurance, staff can help explore available funding options.

Interested individuals, I've learned, should visit the Auburn office during a walk-in screening clinic for a private clinician meeting, which leads to an individualized level-of-care recommendation and referral.

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.

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.

Payment Options

Payment Plans & Financing

For those who are underinsured or uninsured, paying the total cost of a rehab program up front is not feasible. Fortunately, many alcohol and drug rehabs make financing available to potential clients through private loans, in-house payment plans, or partner lenders. You can choose a finance package that lets you start treatment immediately and pay for it later.

Medicaid Accepted

If you’re an in-state resident and eligible for Medicaid, you can use your coverage to assist with the cost of alcohol and drug rehab in California. Medicaid can help cover all levels of care, including detox in California, inpatient rehab in California, and more.

Medicare Accepted

Medicare in California (known as Medi-Cal) may provide coverage options to assist with the cost of alcohol and drug rehab in California. The amount of coverage will depend on many things, including whether you are seeking inpatient or outpatient treatment for substance abuse.

Self-Pay Options

There are a number of self-pay options available for alcohol and drug rehab in California. If you can’t afford to write a check for the full cost of inpatient or outpatient treatment, personal and medical loans offer alternate ways of financing.

Sliding Scale Payment

If you’re ready to enter a drug rehab program in California, but you cannot afford to pay the full amount, a sliding scale payment plan may be the solution for you. This option asks you to make payments in an amount you can reasonably afford on a consistent basis. To qualify for this discount, you must complete an application and provide supporting financial documentation.

Accepted Insurance

Placer County Adult System of Care works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.
