Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

Valley Health Associates offers outpatient treatment using medication assisted treatment (MAT) and proven methods to help patients overcome opioid and alcohol use disorders. Since 1992, they’ve supported adolescents, young adults and adults with a whole-person and evidence-based approach promoting personal control and healthy choices in a safe, caring environment. The center offers adults and youth outpatient programs using evidence-based practices like Seeking Safety, The Matrix, Living In Balance, and Anger Management. Their medication-assisted treatment includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) to support recovery. Through art, equine therapy, counseling, and peer support, they empower clients to build healthy lives and reach their goals. Valley Health Associates offers wellness classes, mindfulness spaces, and a cozy lounge for daily support. Their mobile clinic serves Monterey-area communities with addiction assessments, counseling, and recovery services. They also provide safe medication disposal, naloxone distribution, and coordinate care including transportation and translation. The facility actively supports parolees through community partnerships and jail-based treatment programs.
