Support rooted in dignity.
Substance Use Disorder Services
Our commitment to improving the quality of life for our Tulare County community includes those experiencing substance abuse by offering a recovery-oriented path to better mental and physical well-being. Sequoia Family Medical Center provides services for individuals in crisis, youth, and adults, for alcohol and drug treatment and can be accessed through many of our partnering agencies and organizations.
Our substance use disorder services staff and counselors work closely with the medical providers in our clinics to support patients in developing and completing personalized plans to reduce the negative physical and psychological impacts of drugs and alcohol. For those in need of additional support, we offer a structured outpatient substance use disorder program. Our services are flexible to meet each client’s unique needs and type of care after discharge.
How to Get Substance Use Services
If you or a family member are in need of substance use disorder services, call our Porterville clinic and complete a brief screening, followed by a referral and/or assessment. All admissions are determined by a licensed medical provider.
