About Sobriety Works
Sobriety Works is an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab. They're located in Santa Cruz, California.
They've been operating as Rikki Rap Inc. They've been serving adults and families for over twenty years.
I'm impressed by their programming. They'll give you intensive outpatient and standard outpatient counseling. They also have telehealth groups and peer support along with recovery coaching and mental health care.
What sets them apart is their family court support. They also have four supervised gender specific sober living homes.
Parent Mentor Services
They'll also provide Parent Mentor Services for clients who are navigating Family and Children Services and dependency cases. This particular service stands out to me because it includes assistance through Family Preservation Court.
This is good for parents whose treatment is bound up with a child welfare or dependency proceeding.
This means if you're a client in Santa Cruz with a dependency case you can pursue substance use treatment and court ordered ASAM assessments through the same organization that's been guiding you through the family court process.
That matters especially for parents who are trying to reunify their family or keep custody.
It makes Sobriety Works a strong fit for child welfare involved clients. On the other hand it's less suited for somebody who doesn't have the same kinds of court entanglements.
Gender Specific Sober Living Homes
They've been operating four sober living environments. They have Branciforte and Juan Pablo for men. They have Cortez and Lotman for women.
The homes are staff supervised. They give you house meetings, curfews, random drug testing and 12 Step meetings.
Because their housing is under the same provider as the outpatient program, you can attend IOP three mornings or evenings a week while you live in structured recovery housing that's designed to support your work, school and volunteering.
This helps people who need residential structure while they're still keeping up with daily life.
They can serve you in person or through telehealth. They accept Medi Cal and they also offer a sliding fee scale and payment help.
You should reach out if you want to see whether outpatient plus housing fits your situation.
