Healing the Heart of Midtown
Located inside a multi-level Victorian home, Starlight Recovery brings a cozy and lived-in feel to the treatment experience. Right in midtown Sacramento, it gives residents the chance to recover in a vibrant and walkable neighborhood while still feeling tucked away in a peaceful, structured environment.
The 26-bed facility feels more like a family home than an institution, with shared meals, group sessions, and peer support to help residents reconnect with themselves and others. Starlight emphasized community connection, whether through 12-step meetings or family visitation. They give clients the space to start over while staying grounded.
Thoughtful Programming Designed for Sacramento Locals
Starlight’s Sacramento location is more than convenient -- it’s intentional. Staff build strong relationships with local service providers to offer wraparound support. This includes help with housing, job training, and legal resources for those referred by the court system.
The team understands the challenges facing Sacramento residents from housing instability to trauma and they craft personalized treatment plans that reflect those real-world obstacles. With evidence-based therapies, case management, and a focus on life skills, Starlight helps people overcome addiction and get back on track.
