Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey.

Bay Area Community Services offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 3 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Group Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
