California Alcohol & Drug Programs

California's drug and alcohol programs are designed to help those living with addictions and give them the strength and ability to live a sober life. Recovery can be a long and difficult, and it's important to enroll in a program that provides the type of support and help an individual needs. While some programs focus on therapies and counseling, others provide medical services to help patients through the withdrawal period.

  1. New Bridge Foundation

    • The New Bridge Foundation offers a drug and alcohol detoxification program, residential treatment and intensive outpatient services. The detoxification program helps clients begin the recovery process by providing medical assessment, 24-hour monitoring, counseling and medication evaluation. Residential treatment is available with round-the-clock supervision and group therapy, 12-step support, health education, relapse prevention, psychiatric consultation and psychological evaluation. Intensive outpatient therapy offers the same opportunities as the residential treatment, but allows clients to live at home.
