The staff was amazing. In 2 weeks I made profound changes. The building was run down and they wouldn’t accommodate my food allergies. I raised my concerns and they found the first reason possible to deny me care. Poor unreasonable management to the point of being childish.

Allow me. I spent 40+ days at Akua on the mental health health side. I was greeted by friendly staff and clients who made me feel comfortable. Unfortunately It was hard to receive proper care for my diagnosis. The majority of the treatment was either group therapy led via whiteboard and worksheets, or an occasional ted talk or YouTube video. During my stay I met with a therapist a total of 4 times, and was unable to have any deep connection or help from that. Nevermind the 10+ requests I made to see the therapist. The food was okay some days, but repetitive or unsanitary. Lack of breakfast made it difficult to function in the morning. We went on outings 1-2 a week, usually to the same place over and over. The story gets worse from here. The facility was marginally cleanly, with most/all chores done by clients. Wakeup times were enforced for some clients but not all. I was discharged spontaneously for sleeping for two days and taking the mental health days myself. Some clients would sleep all day and even during groups. Some wouldn't attend any groups, so I figured it would be okay. I landed at a motel 6 after being kicked out. I heard from another client that a staff member I befriended was fired for being closer to me and taking small parts of the day to spend time with me since I was struggling. They assumed we were being flirtatious and this upsets me greatly. I also think this played a role in why I was discharged early. Oh, but they offered to let me stay longer if I paid a two day visit to a local psych ward to be re diagnosed, apparently taking alternative non pharma medication is against the rules. Ironically multiple clients would smoke weed pens as they're medicine, so this upset me. Especially being 10 feet and a fence away from a substance rehab. The main goal of this facility is to have obedient staff and clients who are taking meds 24/7 and putting up with the sub par treatment you'll receive at Akua. The only forgiving thing is the bond between clients and some staff who made my days brighter. Many of the "rules" were being broken by higher ups for profit, like the 35 and under rule, or the hypocritical way I was pushed out to the literal curb the morning I was discharged. Dissatisfied and upset by my treatment, I might as well have left myself rather than put up with the triggering experience I had at Akua Sacramento.

Other Forms of Payment

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment.

If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

12-step icon12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

inpatient iconInpatient

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care 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. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

When an individual is in denial about their substance use disorder, their loved ones may organize a drug intervention in California. This effort involves gently but assertively confronting the individual about their substance use and sharing how it has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist may also attend this gathering. Their expertise with intervention services can prove helpful in guiding the conversation to a positive result.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.

telehealth iconTelehealth

Using telehealth options in California allows you to share health information with your provider via phone call, video chat, or healthcare apps. You can meet with them virtually as well as submit health information online so they can track your progress without having to meet with them in person.

Treatments

In California, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs offer comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Programs include medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization. Using an evidence-based approach, clinicians utilize therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges. Additional services include 12-Step recovery, group therapy, family counseling, and relapse prevention to promote sustained recovery.

Inpatient treatment for drug and alcohol addiction with a focus on mental health is a good fit for people who need closer monitoring and care. Treatment may occur in a hospital setting, a clinic, or a luxury rehab center. Mental health counselors and staff are available 24/7. Therapies typically include group and individual counseling, relapse prevention education, and emotional coping skills training.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image

LGBTQ program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
program-for-women thumbnail image

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
program-for-men thumbnail image

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
military-program thumbnail image

Military program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

The goal of couples therapy in California is to strengthen the couple's relationship. The therapist may take one or more approaches to counseling which may include the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy, behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic couple's therapy.

The goal of creative arts therapy in California is to encourage growth and transformation. It can be used in individual and group settings with both children and adults. Options include movement, music, and painting.

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.

Substances can prevent the absorption of nutrients and cause damage to your body's systems. Nutrition therapy in California addresses the deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that are caused by substance abuse.

This was not my first inpatient rehabilitation for mental health, but this was first time at Akua for mental health. By far the best care I’ve received. I was amazed at their holistic approach and how passionate and extremely helpful every staff member is! Every staff member…I mean every single staff member on every shift helped me with one on one talks, exercises, suggestions, and active listening. The therapist I had was amazing and empathetic to my needs while doing Brain Spotting. I recommend this place to anyone who needs care, whether it’s addiction and/or mental health.

Akua Mental Health was a lifesaver for me. I was there about a year ago for a suicide attempt. The therapist and staff really helped me come to terms with why I did what I did and all the thoughts I had. I continue to go to the alumni meetings and check in on a monthly basis with all the amazing friends I met there. I can’t thank the staff for all the hard they put in and the they took to dig deep with me. They truly are the best and I would recommend anyone who is suffering from any type of mental health issues to go to Akua and see for yourself. You will be amazed. Thank you Akua for saving me!

Response from the owner

Horrible intake. None of the intake personnel are trauma informed or helpful. Went somewhere else.

Response from the owner
Hello, we are so sorry to hear that the intake process did not meet your expectations. We aim to ensure the safety of yourself, our current clients and our staff by conducting through clinical evaluations upon intake. We will review this specific instance and recommend additional trauma-informed training as needed.
