About Tuolumne County Behavioral Health

Tuolumne County Behavioral Health, located in Sonora, California, offers services to children, adults, and families who’ve been impacted by mental health or substance use disorders.

This department will connect you to different programs that offer evidence based therapies to help you tackle struggles you or a loved one are experiencing. Most of these services are offered in an outpatient setting, but through their Crisis, Assessment, and Intervention Program, you’ll be supported with emergency and psychiatric services that might include treatment at the local hospital.

This organization also provides evaluations and services to inmates in the Tuolumne County Jail.

The services here are primarily offered to individuals who have Medi-Cal. There are sliding scale discounts available to help you afford the cost of care if you are uninsured.

Evidence Based Outpatient Programming for Specific Groups

As a county behavioral health center, this organization focuses on providing evidence based care to the residents they serve. These therapies can include everything from comprehensive assessments to address what your substance struggles are and if you have an underlying mental health disorder as well. There are also medication services that can be incorporated into your treatment plan if your circumstances require it.

Their programs are divided into age appropriate and gender specific programs. For example, there’s an adolescent youth treatment program for at risk adolescents and those who have existing substance use disorder. They also have a perinatal treatment program for expectant mothers who have addiction.

Supportive and Compassionate Care in Sonora

As a community oriented treatment facility, you’ll find that the services here are rooted in compassion and you’ll be met with dignified care. You won’t feel judged by your struggles. This approach has been especially helpful to those in the criminal justice system.

To help make your access to quality care easier, some of the programs offer transportation services, child care services, and other supports that will allow you to get the care you need without obstacles. Case management services will further help individualize your treatment so that you get the appropriate care.

I've never felt more dehumanized by "doctors" than I did at this clinic. Telehealth is infinitely better.

They're so eager to talk about drugs. Not so eager to talk about co-occurring disorders like major depressive disorder or PTSD. They're so eager to talk about drugs that they'll schedule you with a drug counselor without even informing you that drug counseling here is optional and voluntary. They just take down your information then say we've assigned you to so and so. That doesn't make me feel like it's voluntary. Another issue. When I see my doctors at Adventist health they are willing to do some things by phone. This place does not proactively offer phone-based counseling or any kind of telemedicine services and if you ask them at the desk they say well you'll probably want to talk with that when you see your therapist. This place is not very client-focused, and they do have an old school and somewhat inflexible modality of providing services. I'm hoping somebody within this organization will read these reviews and think about modernizing how they provide treatment. Many people struggle financially and it is a significant burden when you ask somebody to come in several times a month when there are other options available that maybe just as effective without the cost of transportation or the inconvenience of having to take public transportation. Lastly, it should never take 2 months from the point of intake before somebody talks to a psychiatrist or somebody qualified to prescribe medicine. I had to go to Adventist and seek medication services through there behavioral health department because Tuolumne County behavioral health could not offer medicine services without a 2-month wait even after I told them I had a pre-existing diagnosis and SSI check and an urgent need to have medication services. That's another strike against them. Why do they insist on providing drug treatment counseling within a week but if somebody needs SSRI medicine or other types of prescription they have to wait and wait and wait and that is not in the best interest of the clients that they serve. Really really bad treatment model here in so many ways. I hope they improve.

Accepted Insurance

Tuolumne County Behavioral Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your 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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I’m hoping that they improve their emergency response. I know they help a lot of people in their counseling sessions, but when it comes to triaging people that are a danger to themselves and others, they let them walk even after the doctor the sheriff and everybody family is screaming at them, even after somebody attempts to kill them self literally Cutting their wrist they will let them walk only an hour and a half after their stitched up. Truth(both wrists): No oversight. They are in charge of theirselves. Horrible and dangerous waste of time and money even having them come in to triage the patient

If you ever see anyone there make sure it’s not Sarah. She showed up to my house 3-4 hours after my appointment And would not leave until the police were called. She started saying that I was unsafe and tried to convince my parents that I was trying to end my life when I didn’t even know her and didn’t speak to anyone about ending my life. (the appointment was to meet a new therapist ). Genuinely a scary experience and I’m thankful it’s all recorded. They have not taken any action against her. Don’t go there unless you want unwanted visitors showing up at 10 pm.

If you're on the mental health diversion program do not open up to these people tell them what they want to hear because they will condemn you no matter what so my advice is to the new people that are doing mental health diversion don't open up about your life because they'll use it against you and keep you in the system tell them what they want to hear so you can move on and do better with your life because they're not bettering anybody's life but hindering it along with this county literally I was just passing through Thursday lost everything here in tuolumne county and I've been stranded here 3 years doing their program struggling whenever I'm a transmit that makes more than five dollars an hour because of this county health

If you need mental health assistance I URGENTLY advise you to go anywhere else in town. I left this place feeling far worse than I did before seeking help.
