Drug & alcohol rehab centers in Stockton, CA

Our Stockton directory is built to help you compare real treatment options, not to sell placement. Listings are organized around the information that matters most when someone is choosing care: the levels of care a facility offers, the payment types and insurance it accepts, the populations it serves, and its accreditation and licensing status.

We prioritize facilities that publish verifiable details, hold recognized accreditation such as CARF, and offer the continuum of services people typically need across recovery. When a facility's information is incomplete or unverified, we note that rather than fill the gap with assumptions. Our goal is a directory you can trust to reflect what each program actually provides, so the next step you take is an informed one.

Our directory covers:

• Levels of care and treatment settings offered
• Accepted insurance, Medi-Cal, and self-pay or sliding-scale options
• Populations and specialty programs served
• Accreditation and state licensing status

The most urgent substance use issue locally is the opioid and fentanyl crisis. San Joaquin County recorded 191 opioid-related deaths in 2023, and fentanyl was involved in 175 of them, roughly 92 percent, according to county Public Health Services.

County leaders have responded with a dedicated Fentanyl Intervention and Response Safety Team and an ongoing Opioid Safety Coalition. At the same time, behavioral health officials have reported that heroin remains one of the most common drugs seen in county treatment, so many local programs are built around opioid use disorder and long-term recovery support.

Because Stockton sits within about 90 minutes of Sacramento and the East Bay, some residents also weigh treatment options in neighboring counties, particularly for specialized inpatient or dual diagnosis care that may have limited local capacity.

There is no single price for rehab, and what you pay in Stockton depends on the level of care, the length of the program, and whether you use insurance or Drug Medi-Cal. As a general anchor, California treatment costs tend to land in the middle of the national range. The figures below reflect commonly cited statewide averages by care level. Your actual cost may be lower with public coverage or higher at a private residential facility.

Because Stockton's cost of living sits below that of the nearby Bay Area, private-pay treatment locally often falls at or below comparable coastal-metro pricing, though luxury and specialized programs still command higher fees. Several factors drive the final number:

Before you rule out any program on price, it is worth verifying your rehab benefits, since coverage often makes options affordable that look out of reach at sticker price.

Across the 23 Stockton-area providers in our directory, payment options include self-pay, private insurance, Medi-Cal, Medicare, sliding-scale fees, and financial assistance. The information below shows how many local facilities accept each type, so you can quickly see what is realistic for your situation.

Stockton-area providers cover the core continuum of addiction treatment, including six medical detox facilities, seven inpatient rehab programs, 14 standard outpatient clinics, and 11 dual diagnosis programs for co-occurring conditions. The infomation below shows what is available locally.

Medical detox. Detox is usually the first step for anyone with physical dependence on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. It provides medical monitoring during withdrawal. Six local facilities offer this level of care, and several county residential programs include withdrawal management on intake. Learn more about what to expect during medical detox.

Inpatient rehab. Residential programs provide structured, around-the-clock care and are often recommended for more severe or long-standing substance use. Seven Stockton-area programs offer this setting. Read more about inpatient rehab and who it tends to fit best.

Outpatient care. Fourteen outpatient clinics locally let people attend treatment while living at home, which suits those with work, school, or family obligations or who are stepping down from residential care. Explore how outpatient rehab and intensive outpatient programs are structured.

Dual diagnosis. Eleven local programs treat co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use, which is important because untreated co-occurring depression or anxiety can undermine recovery. Integrated care addresses both at once.

Sober living. Six sober living homes in the area offer structured, substance-free housing that supports the transition back to daily life. This kind of continuing care helps many people protect early recovery after a formal program ends.

Beyond core levels of care, many Stockton providers tailor treatment to specific populations and needs. The counts below reflect local programs offering each specialty.

Eighteen local programs focus on alcohol use disorder,  and 18 address opioid use disorder, reflecting the two substances driving the most demand for care in San Joaquin County. Twenty-one young adult programs make Stockton relatively strong for that age group, which matters given that county officials report about half of local fentanyl deaths occur among people aged 14 to 35. Some of these overlap with young adult and college student substance use support.

Five providers offer LGBTQ+ affirming addiction care, and one offers a dedicated program with rehab resources for veterans and military members. Gender-specific options are widely available, with 18 men's and 15 women's programs across the area.

If cost or coverage is a barrier, San Joaquin County has a network of public and nonprofit resources that provide crisis help, treatment access, harm reduction, and recovery support at little or no cost. The most relevant options are listed below with verified contact information.

San Joaquin County continues to face a severe opioid and fentanyl crisis, alongside persistent heroin and alcohol use. The most recent county data shows fentanyl now driving the overwhelming majority of opioid deaths, a pattern that has reshaped local treatment demand. For national context, see our overview of national substance use statistics.

Behavioral health officials have noted that heroin remains one of the most frequently seen drugs in county treatment even as fentanyl drives fatal overdoses. Fentanyl was involved in 92% of opioid-related daeths in San Joaquin County in 2023. In response, the county established a Fentanyl Intervention and Response Safety Team and expanded naloxone access through the Opioid Safety Coalition.
