Sun Street Centers

Sun Street Centers provides medical detox and residential treatment from its Hollister, California location — two levels of care that together form a complete early recovery pathway for women entering addiction treatment. Medical detox offers clinically supervised stabilization, while the residential program creates the live-in structure women need to begin rebuilding their lives after detox is complete.

For women who are pregnant or in the perinatal period, this specialized residential program addresses the distinct clinical and personal circumstances of recovery during and after pregnancy. Court-ordered women are also served, giving the justice system a meaningful residential treatment option within San Benito County.

A defining feature of Sun Street Centers' residential treatment program is its focus on co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis care. Many women entering substance abuse treatment also carry diagnoses — or unaddressed experiences — related to trauma and PTSD. Rather than treating addiction in isolation, the program addresses these intersecting conditions as part of the same recovery plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) serves as the primary therapeutic framework, a method with strong clinical backing for both trauma and substance use disorders. This integrated approach positions Sun Street Centers as a recovery center equipped to support women whose mental health and addiction challenges are closely linked.

Completing a residential program is a significant milestone — but lasting recovery depends on what comes next. Sun Street Centers includes aftercare support as a confirmed component of its programming, helping residents transition out of the structured residential environment with a plan in place for continued sobriety.

For the Sober Nation community evaluating long-term recovery partners rather than one-time detox facilities, the presence of formal aftercare is a meaningful distinction. It signals that Sun Street Centers is invested in outcomes that extend beyond discharge, supporting women as they move back into their communities.

Sun Street Centers accepts Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, self-pay, and sliding-scale fees — a payment range that reflects the organization's core mission to make treatment accessible regardless of income level. TRICARE coverage makes the program a viable residential treatment option for active-duty servicewomen and military families in the region.

CARF accreditation adds an independent quality benchmark, confirming that the program meets established standards for addiction treatment and client-centered care. For families and individuals comparing residential recovery centers, accreditation and broad insurance acceptance together reduce two of the most common barriers to starting treatment.
