Why Opioid Addiction Treatment Matters

The opioid crisis is a severe and growing challenge in California. In 2021, there were 7,175 opioid-related overdose deaths in the state, an age-adjusted rate of 18.0 per 100,000 residents.

In Sacramento County, the age-adjusted death rate for drug + opioid-involved overdose was about 22.1 per 100,000 in recent years — higher than state averages.

The potent synthetic opioid Fentanyl is a major contributor to this crisis, often hidden in counterfeit prescription pills and other substances.

Our Approach to Opioid Addiction Treatment

Assessment & Stabilization

First, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of substance use history, co-occurring mental health or behavioral health issues, physical health, and social/family factors. For clients needing safe detox from opioids, CRC provides medically supervised detox protocols.

Continuum of Care

Residential/Inpatient Treatment: Intensive 24/7 care for those whose use or withdrawal requires higher supervision and a supportive, structured environment.
Outpatient Programs: Flexible treatment allowing clients to live at home or with family, attend therapy and recovery support, and maintain work or school responsibilities.
Telehealth Access: For Northern California residents (including remote or rural locations) we offer secure, confidential virtual therapy and recovery sessions.

Therapeutic Modalities

We utilize evidence-based, whole-person care:

Trauma-Informed Care – Healing underlying trauma that often fuels opioid use.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifying and reshaping the patterns of thought and behavior driving opioid dependence.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support sustained recovery.
Community Support Groups – Meaningful peer connection, accountability, and long-term recovery community.

Holistic & Aftercare Supports

Recovery from opioid addiction is more than just stopping use—it’s rebuilding life. At CRC we support clients in: nutrition, fitness, mindfulness, wellness strategies, family involvement, and establishing strong alumni networks for ongoing support.
