The integrated medical component is administered by licensed professionals, ensuring safe and monitored care throughout the treatment process.

Recognizing that lasting recovery requires more than just medical intervention, the Placerville Med Unit incorporates various behavioral health services into its program. These therapies are designed to address the underlying causes of addiction, teach crucial coping mechanisms, and prevent relapse. Patients benefit from a structured environment that fosters understanding and accountability.
