About San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services
San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services is a county operated behavioral health and substance use treatment provider in Stockton, California. They're offering integrated crisis, mental health and addiction services.
Their North California Street site has the Crisis Clinic and Crisis Intervention Center. I'm impressed by all the services that are provided there. They can give you a walk in assessment, triage and referrals.
I also appreciate what their broader network offers. They can provide you with outpatient, residential, withdrawal management and perinatal programming.
What kinds of addiction treatment do they offer people?
The county network can give outpatient treatment to adults and youth. They also have perinatal outpatient care and parenting classes.
I like that their Residential Recovery Services program offers gender specific residential treatment and withdrawal management. Their ASAM Screening Tool stands out to me as well. They use it to match each person to the right level of care.
Who can get help there?
They help adults and youth. This includes adult men and women in residential care.
They'll also help pregnant and parenting women through their perinatal programming.
Crisis services are available to all San Joaquin County residents. You don't need to be in an urgent crisis to ask for an evaluation.
Where's the crisis location and when is it open?
The Crisis Clinic and Crisis Intervention Center are located at 1212 North California Street in Stockton.
Their flexibility impresses me. They have weekday walk in hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.. There's also a 24 hour crisis phone line and field clinician response to serve the wider county.
Do they take Medi Cal or give financial help?
They may take Medi Cal to cover outpatient, day treatment and residential substance use services. It's also possible for referring agencies to fund care.
You can get discounted treatment if your household is between 0% and 300% of the federal poverty level.
How do I start?
You can begin with a walk in visit or by calling the 24-hour behavioral health access line for referral and service navigation.
A Gateway to Recovery
Overall, I think it's great how they connect people to crisis support and a full continuum of addiction and mental health care.

Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Levels of Care
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.
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.
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.
