How to Choose Treatment in Elk Grove

If you’re looking for the best help for you in Elk Grove, you have options. You can find strong outpatient programs, inpatient care, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), and 24/7 crisis support. Same-day detox or residential admission is possible, but spots can be limited — especially for pregnant or postpartum people and teens — so it helps to call ahead. If you’re on Medi-Cal, you’ll likely work with Sacramento County Behavioral Health Services for screening and referral (24/7). Most private insurance plans are accepted, and if you don’t have insurance, there are free or very low-cost programs available. If you want culturally specific, specialized, or luxury residential programs, you may need to look outside of Elk Grove.

Can I start detox in Elk Grove today?

Yes — help can start today. Call a 24/7 clinic to begin medication for withdrawal and stabilization. Call first to confirm space:

• Diamond House Detox (Elk Grove): 800-205-6107

• New Start Recovery Solutions (Sacramento): 866-303-6275

When you call, ask about Spanish-language services and transportation assistance if needed. If they’re full, ask for bridge care (telehealth, interim medications, groups) so you can start right away.

Do I need to travel for rehab, or is care available in Elk Grove?

You usually don’t have to travel. Elk Grove and Sacramento County offer detox, inpatient, outpatient (IOP/PHP), MAT, therapy, and sober living. Travel can help if you need same-day detox or residential admission and local beds are full, or if you’re looking for specific amenities like private rooms, pet-friendly programs, or culturally specific care.

Paying for Addiction Treatment in Elk Grove

How much does rehab cost in Elk Grove?

Learn more about the cost of rehab.

Many major plans include in-network options — commonly Anthem Blue Cross of California, Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Permanente, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Humana. Always confirm network status, prior authorization, and copays with your plan and the facility.

Are there free rehab programs in Elk Grove?

Yes — you can find free or low-cost programs in Elk Grove. If you don’t have insurance or resources, you can still get care through government-funded providers and nonprofit organizations. Start by dialing 2-1-1 for referrals, or use the Free, Sliding Scale Fee, and Payment Assistance filter options on this directory to find no-cost and low-cost options. If you do have insurance, your plan may cover some or even the full cost of treatment — you’ll need to call the facility to confirm.

• Sacramento County’s Behavioral Health Services-Screening and Coordination: 24/7 assessments and referrals for people on Medi-Cal or without insurance. 

• 2-1-1: Dial 2-1-1 for referrals to low- or no-cost treatment, transportation, shelters, and other supports. 

• Nonprofit organizations: Examples like the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center (Sacramento) and Adult & Teen Challenge offer long-term, faith-based options with minimal or no cost.

• Emergency stabilization: If you’re in a crisis (such as life-threatening withdrawal or intoxication), call 911 or go to the nearest ER. Care will be provided regardless of ability to pay (you may receive a bill later for hospital or ambulance services; financial-assistance programs are available through many local hospitals).

Keep in mind there are many free non-clinical peer support and counseling resources available as well.

Choosing the Right Rehab

How do I choose the right level of care?

Start with an independent assessment from a clinician who specializes in substance use problems and isn’t employed by a treatment center. They can help you choose between treatment options like outpatient, residential, hospital inpatient, withdrawal management (detox), and medications used alongside therapy. Learn more about choosing the right rehab for your needs. 

Who can help me choose the best rehab in Elk Grove right now?

Call the Sacramento County Screening & Referral (916-875-1055) if you’re on Medi-Cal or for 24/7 clinical support and navigation.Veterans can contact VA Northern California (Mather VA) about in-house services or Community Care referrals. You can also ask a doctor or clinic about speaking with a Substance Use Navigator or certified peer specialist. When you call, say, “I’m in Elk Grove and need help with [detox/outpatient/residential]; I have [Medi-Cal/Medicare/private insurance/no insurance]. Do you have openings or recommendations?”

How can I check if an Elk Grove rehab is licensed (and accredited)?

Before you choose, look up the program on the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) directory for Sacramento County. Also ask whether they hold national accreditation (e.g., The Joint Commission or CARF). Accreditation isn’t required, but it’s a useful extra quality signal. Learn more about accreditation and other indicators of quality care.
