About County of Sacramento — Adult System of Care
The County of Sacramento Adult System of Care is a government-funded substance-use assessment and referral access point operated by the County Department of Health Services, Division of Behavioral Health Services.
It provides confidential alcohol and drug assessments and connects eligible adults to detox, outpatient, residential and related treatment services.
This program is Sacramento County’s practical front door to publicly supported addiction care, meeting residents where they are and guiding them toward the right level of treatment.
Front Door to County-Funded Detox and Addiction Referrals
The core of this program is a confidential substance-use assessment that evaluates current and past alcohol and drug use to determine treatment needs.
Designed for Sacramento County residents age 18 and older who are uninsured, whose insurance does not cover treatment or who are ineligible for other funding, it offers a low-barrier path to care.
The assessment takes about an hour and involves a private interview focused on your history and current use.
Based on the results, eligible individuals receive authorization or referral for detox, outpatient treatment, residential care or other services, with waitlist activities sometimes offered while awaiting a treatment slot.
Accessible, Inclusive Care in Sacramento
This access point maintains a welcoming pathway for people experiencing homelessness, allowing assessment even without identification.
Free language assistance, including American Sign Language interpretation, is available, and cultural and language needs are incorporated into treatment planning.
The Adult System of Care office is located at 3321 Power Inn Road in Sacramento, one block from a Regional Transit light-rail stop, and serves Sacramento County residents in person.
Eligibility is limited to qualifying county adults, and clients may be asked to provide a co-pay for certain services.
