About Desert Sage Youth Wellness Center
Desert Sage Youth Wellness Center in Hemet, California, is a youth regional treatment center operated by the Indian Health Service’s California Area Office for American Indian and Alaska Native teens. They offer co-ed residential treatment for young people ages 12 to 17 who are struggling with drugs or alcohol, including those facing co-occurring mental health conditions. The program has 32 beds and is accepting applications for admission.
Desert Sage is part of a network of youth treatment centers alongside their sister facility, Sacred Oaks Healing Center in Davis, and both hold accreditation from The Joint Commission. For youth whose residential stay is funded through the YRTC Risk Pool, the path to admission typically starts at a local tribal or urban Indian outpatient substance use program, which evaluates the teen and makes the referral. Once a young person completes residential care, those same outpatient programs provide aftercare, so support continues closer to home and community.
