About Sierra Health and Wellness Centers

Sierra Health and Wellness Centers in Concord, California, is part of Sierra Health + Wellness, a network of addiction and mental health treatment facilities across the state that specializes in dual diagnosis care. They treat recovery as a whole-person process that covers mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health, and they address substance use alongside co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and trauma. Across the network, care ranges from medical detox and residential inpatient treatment to partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, standard outpatient, and a virtual IOP, followed by aftercare planning and an alumni community. They also run dedicated programs for veterans and adolescents.

Each client receives an individualized plan that can draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, family therapy, group therapy, and 12-step education, all grounded in trauma-informed care. They offer Brainspotting, a body-focused method for processing trauma-related triggers and cravings, as well as medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling. IOP clients meet weekly with a dedicated counselor in addition to group sessions and move through two step-down phases focused on relapse prevention. The virtual IOP follows the same session schedule on a HIPAA-compliant platform, and they work with EAPs, union programs, and most insurance plans, are in-network with TriWest, and participate as a VA Community Care provider.
