Expert Insights
I was relieved to see that a new respite center has opened in downtown Stockton to treat people with substance use disorder. I think it’s a great idea because of the addiction problem we have in the area — which impacts 33 percent of people in San Joaquin County — but also because patients can self-refer. I know people who’ve tried to get into treatment and it takes weeks to find a place that takes their insurance and tough luck if you don’t have insurance! This new center is federally funded meaning it is even more accessible to residents of Stockton.

How Expensive is Drug Rehab in Stockton?
The cost of drug and alcohol rehab in Stockton will depend on the type of care you need, where you’ll stay during care, what your other costs of living will be aside from treatment, and what type of center you choose.
Some high-end facilities will be more expensive, as they grant access to luxury amenities like pools and day spas with a masseuse on staff and more technologically advanced methods than talk therapy. Whatever your preferences and financial status, programs with a range of treatments and settings are available in Stockton.
