Helping you regain control and build a healthy life
Alcohol Addiction Treatment in Sacramento & Northern California
At CRC, we provide compassionate, evidence-based alcohol addiction treatment in Sacramento and beyond, tailored for Northern California residents.
Why Alcohol Treatment Matters
Excessive alcohol use is the leading substance misuse challenge in California. Nearly half of Californians aged 12 and older reported drinking alcohol in the past month. In Sacramento County, 14.7 % of adults reported binge-drinking in the past 30 days, reflecting the ongoing local impact. From 2020-2021, the state averaged 19,335 deaths per year due to excessive alcohol use — a sobering reminder of how serious this issue can be. When alcohol use evolves into alcohol use disorder (AUD), professional support becomes vital. According to recent national data: 10.3 % of adults ages 18+ had AUD in the past year.
Our Approach to Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Assess & Stabilize
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of substance use, mental health, physical health, and social factors. For clients requiring safe detox from alcohol, medically supervised care is available.
Residential or Outpatient Care
- Inpatient / Residential Treatment: 24/7 structured environment for those who need intensive supervision and support.
- Outpatient Treatment: Flexible programs for individuals who can engage in therapy while remaining at home, work, or school.
Therapeutic Modalities
We use four core evidence-based approaches to support recovery from alcohol misuse:
- Trauma-Informed Care – Healing past trauma that often underlies addiction
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Challenging harmful thoughts and behaviors tied to alcohol use
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Building emotion-regulation, distress-tolerance and interpersonal skills
- Community Support Groups – Peer support and connection to reinforce long-term sobriety
Holistic & Aftercare Supports
Beyond traditional therapy, we focus on the whole person—fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, telehealth support and ongoing alumni connection help sustain recovery long-term.
Telehealth Access
For Northern California residents who cannot easily attend in-person sessions, CRC’s telehealth program delivers confidential, high-quality care online — so you can access treatment from home.

Absolutely. Many people use alcohol to cope with emotional distress, so CRC treats both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions.

Alcohol Use in Northern California: Key Facts
Alcohol remains one of the most commonly used substances in Northern California, including Sacramento, Roseville, and surrounding communities. While many adults consume alcohol socially, long-term or heavy use can lead to dependence, liver disease, cognitive impairments, and relationship or work challenges.
Key trends in the region include:
-
High prevalence of binge drinking: Many adults report consuming more than the recommended daily limits, increasing health risks.
-
Co-occurring mental health conditions: Anxiety, depression, and trauma often accompany alcohol use, making integrated treatment essential.
-
Risk of overdose or alcohol poisoning: Heavy drinking, especially combined with prescription drugs or illicit substances, increases medical risk.
-
Need for structured treatment and support: Evidence-based therapy, medically supervised detox, and aftercare programs improve recovery outcomes and reduce relapse risk.
Early intervention and a personalized, holistic approach are critical for individuals seeking to overcome alcohol dependence and achieve long-term wellness in Northern California.
