Towns Health Services

Towns Health Services distinguishes itself in the Sacramento Valley by delivering the complete Hazelden Betty Ford program — a structured, research-informed recovery curriculum that most treatment centers reference but few implement in full. Paired with a spiritual emphasis, this framework provides clients with both the clinical tools and the values-based grounding that sustained long-term recovery often requires.

The center operates across Sacramento County and San Joaquin County, serving Galt, Lodi, Herald, and surrounding communities. For residents of the region seeking a substance abuse treatment program with a recognized national foundation, Towns Health Services brings that level of programming to a local, accessible setting.

Towns Health Services provides three levels of addiction treatment, allowing clients to enter care at the right point and move through a structured continuum. Medical Detox offers supervised support for individuals at the start of their recovery, while the Outpatient Program serves those who need ongoing treatment woven into everyday responsibilities. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) fills the middle ground — more contact hours and clinical structure than standard outpatient, without requiring a residential stay.

This stepped approach is particularly relevant for people thinking beyond immediate crisis care. Whether someone is stepping down from a higher level of care or entering treatment for the first time, the center's program structure supports continuity rather than a single episode of treatment.

Addiction rarely travels alone. Towns Health Services addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis as a core part of its treatment model, also treating trauma and PTSD, opioid addiction, gambling addiction, and anger management. For many clients, unresolved trauma or untreated mental health conditions are directly connected to substance use — and treating only one without the other leaves recovery on unstable ground.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors the clinical work, giving clients practical skills to identify and change thought patterns that contribute to addictive behavior. This combination of behavioral therapy and co-occurring disorder treatment reflects a treatment philosophy oriented toward long-term recovery, not just short-term stabilization.

The center serves a notably broad population. Young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors and older adults, men, women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and court-ordered clients are all welcomed into its programs. This range reflects a deliberate commitment to serving people who are sometimes underserved by mainstream addiction treatment settings — including older adults whose needs differ from younger clients, and individuals requiring accessible communication support.

Financial access is also addressed directly. Towns Health Services accepts Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay arrangements. Veterans and active-duty families covered by TRICARE, as well as Medicaid-eligible clients across Sacramento and San Joaquin counties, can pursue treatment without navigating a narrow insurance window. The center's hours run Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM; the center is closed on Sundays.
