The Sonoma Center for Change conducts an admissions assessment in order to determine an individual’s current personal treatment needs. SCC does not provide medical detox services. If medical detoxification is required from any drugs or alcohol it will need to be completed prior to admission. Once you have made the initial inquiry regarding admission, our staff will talk with you individually to begin the general assessment.
During that assessment, we’ll evaluate your individual substance abuse, mental health and medical condition. Next, our clinical and medical staff will review your individual case against our admission guidelines. If you meet the qualifying criteria and space is available, treatment at Sonoma Center for Change will be offered.
