About Butte County Sobering Center

The Butte County Sobering Center in Chico, CA, offers a safe and welcoming place for people under the influence of drugs or alcohol to sober up in peace. This 24/7, 12-bed co-ed facility gives individuals a chance to avoid jail or emergency rooms while focusing on safety, stability, and the opportunity to pause and regroup. Guests can stay for up to 23 hours and 59 minutes and are supported in taking the next step toward lasting recovery, with referrals to longer-term care when ready.
With a caring team of trained counselors and medical professionals, the center treats each guest with dignity and compassion.

The goal is to meet people where they are, help them stabilize, and offer a bridge to further resources when they’re ready to move forward.
During their short stay, clients are provided with clean, shared living spaces, nutritious meals, hot showers, and laundry services. Nestled inside a larger healthcare campus, the center makes it easy to connect with extended behavioral health support. It's a calm, supportive first stop for those seeking to regain control and find a path toward recovery.
