Addiction & Mental Health Treatment in Sacramento — Why Akua?

Sacramento County faces significant behavioral health challenges. According to the California Department of
Public Health, Sacramento consistently ranks among California’s counties with the highest rates of substance
use disorder treatment need — yet many residents don’t access care due to lack of accessible, high-quality
options close to home

Evidence-based addiction treatment without requiring relocation
Integrated mental health and substance use disorder care
Flexible scheduling through PHP and IOP programs
Statewide virtual IOP for those who prefer remote access
Medi-Cal and commercial insurance acceptance (verify your benefits before arrival)

You don’t have to travel far to receive exceptional care. Akua’s Sacramento-area programs bring Joint
Commission-accredited treatment to your community

Outpatient & Partial Hospitalization Options for Sacramento Residents

Many Sacramento-area residents need high-quality care but can’t leave their jobs, families, or communities for
residential treatment. Akua Mind Body offers two structured outpatient options that provide intensive clinical
support while allowing you to sleep at home:

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) — Sacramento Area

Our PHP is designed for clients who need more support than traditional outpatient but don’t require 24/7
residential care. PHP typically involves 5–6 hours of structured programming per day, 5 days per week, and
includes individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric support, and case management.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — Sacramento Area

IOP offers a step down from PHP or an alternative to residential treatment for those with strong home support
systems. Clients typically attend programming 3–4 days per week for 3–4 hours per session — a schedule
designed to integrate with work, school, and family life.

Virtual IOP — Available Statewide

Can’t make it to a physical location? Akua’s telehealth IOP delivers the same evidence-based clinical content
via secure video — fully HIPAA-compliant and available to online virtual IOP for California residents anywhere in the state.

Encouraging Words From Clients We've Helped

I learned how to be my own man, how to treat people with respect and to go about life the way I should be. My life today is indescribable; it’s beautiful in all aspects. I have my family in my life, I’ve got a great job; I’ve got all these things but that’s not what I am most happy about. It’s having my family invite me home, I get to spend time with my little brother again.

Randy

12 years of my life before AKUA were really miserable. I was very lucky to found AKUA. Today I am very blessed and humble to be here with such a caring staff. My experience at AKUA was very fantastic. They have wonderful staff, approach to program and approach to my addiction specifically. I was on one on one with my therapist which helped me through the whole process.

Brad

My experience with the staff has been awesome, I haven’t had any problems with them, it’s been real easy to get along with them and now that I am out, I have most of their numbers and am still in contact with them. They stay in contact with me, checking up on me to see how I am doing; calling me, texting me and stuff like that. It’s nice because none of my old friends from my past life are doing that.
