About Dignity Health – St. Joseph’s Behavioral Health Center

Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Behavioral Health Center is a licensed not-for-profit psychiatric hospital in Stockton, California, serving the Central Valley since 1974.

I've learned that this 35-bed hospital provides inpatient psychiatric care, medically assisted detox and a full range of outpatient addiction and mental health services.

As part of the Dignity Health/CommonSpirit system, the center offers compassionate, whole-person care that guides patients from crisis toward lasting recovery.

Inpatient Psychiatric and Addiction Care in Stockton

As a dedicated behavioral health hospital, St. Joseph’s offers 35 licensed psychiatric beds for adults age 18 and older, including hospital inpatient treatment and medically assisted detox.

With roots dating back to 1974, this is a long-standing institution in Central California’s behavioral health community.

Treatment, I've found, blends medication stabilization with individual, group and family therapy, plus 12 Step programs, coping-skills training and stress management.

This structured, hospital-based approach addresses both acute symptoms and the underlying issues that drive them.

Integrated Dual-Diagnosis and Substance Use Recovery

The center specializes in co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions, delivering integrated dual-diagnosis care under one roof.

Outpatient options include partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient treatment and medication based recovery support such as methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone.

Therapies like CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and trauma related counseling round out the continuum.

Care and Next Steps for Those Seeking Flexible Care

St. Joseph’s serves Stockton and Central Valley communities with inpatient care on North California Street, outpatient services on East Magnolia Street, and telehealth therapy for added flexibility.

Outpatient programs support adults, adolescents and children.

The facility accepts most insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, Medicare, TRICARE and major commercial carriers, along with self-pay and financial assistance options.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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.

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.

Alcoholism

Alcohol rehab in California provides professional treatment to guide participants through each step of recovery. Programs offer a support system to walk you through challenges and celebrate victories with you, from detox to long-term sobriety.

Men's Rehab

Gender-specific addiction treatment programs may be more effective in treating men because they focus on unique needs of males. Men’s rehab in California is designed to help men process emotions and cope with stress in a judgment-free environment.

Women's Rehab

Women’s rehab in California provides a safe environment where women can work through addiction challenges surrounded by their gender peers. This often creates an environment that is more conducive to recovery.

Opioid Treatment

For those who are struggling with opioid use disorder, help is available at opioid rehab in California. This complex addiction can be treated through a combination of evidence-based therapies and medication assisted treatment.

Levels of Care

Detox & MAT

When you enter drug rehab in California, detox is the first step towards becoming drug-free. The detox process includes 24/7 monitoring and medical care and may include the use of medications to ease withdrawal symptoms.

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.

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.
