Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

Located in a tranquil Victorian home in midtown Sacramento, the River City Recovery Center’s Starlight program offers 24-hour residential care for adults recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. This non-medical setting blends structure and warmth, giving clients space to heal in a calm, home-like environment. With just 26 beds and a low client-to-counselor ratio, the program ensures personalized attention and encourages strong peer and staff relationships throughout treatment. Treatment includes individual counseling, group therapy, life skills training, and recovery meetings tailored to each client’s needs. Licensed staff use proven methods to help clients address both addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. Each person follows an evidence-based care plan designed to build emotional resilience and support a stable, substance-free future. Senior residents can take on added responsibilities as they prepare for independent living. Clients stay in shared rooms within a multi-story home that promotes comfort and connection. The welcoming environment supports routine and accountability while preserving a sense of dignity and ease. Regular family visits strengthen outside support systems and foster lasting change. Every aspect of Starlight—its size, setting, and staff—works together to help clients reclaim their lives with clarity and confidence.
