About Butte County Sobering Center

The Butte County Sobering Center in Chico, CA, offers a safe and welcoming place for people under the influence of drugs or alcohol to sober up in peace. This 24/7, 12-bed co-ed facility gives individuals a chance to avoid jail or emergency rooms while focusing on safety, stability, and the opportunity to pause and regroup. Guests can stay for up to 23 hours and 59 minutes and are supported in taking the next step toward lasting recovery, with referrals to longer-term care when ready.
With a caring team of trained counselors and medical professionals, the center treats each guest with dignity and compassion. Though not a detox program, it provides vital services such as health screenings, hydration, and emotional support. The goal is to meet people where they are, help them stabilize, and offer a bridge to further resources when they’re ready to move forward.
During their short stay, clients are provided with clean, shared living spaces, nutritious meals, hot showers, and laundry services. Nestled inside a larger healthcare campus, the center makes it easy to connect with extended behavioral health support. It's a calm, supportive first stop for those seeking to regain control and find a path toward recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Butte County Sobering Center accept Medicaid?

How do I start treatment at Butte County Sobering Center?
Call the facility directly at (510) 214-9991 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
