Alpha Oaks – Carmichael, California

About us

Located in the heart of Carmichael, California, Alpha Oaks is a non-profit residential treatment center that supports women who are battling addiction. Alpha Oaks, founded in 1977 by women who had overcome their own alcoholism, provides a special setting where women support other women in overcoming their addictions and pursuing recovery. The underlying tenet of the institution is the conviction that shared experiences, empathy, and mutual understanding are the best environments for women to recover in.

The Alpha Oaks treatment program places a major emphasis on creating daily routines that support sobriety. Together, they strive for better lives and share a homelike atmosphere that helps people build supportive and cooperative relationships. Using a community-driven approach, each woman may create a basis for long-term rehabilitation by learning useful skills that she can use in her daily life. At Alpha Oaks, the “social model” of therapy emphasizes on developing routines and social skills that promote fulfilling, drug-free lifestyles.

Alpha Oaks residents engage in a range of therapeutic activities, such as individual treatment, educational programs, group counseling, and relapse prevention sessions. In order to ensure that the care each resident receives is customized to their journey, personalized treatment plans are created to fit their individual requirements. Furthermore, both while they are residing at the facility and after they return to their regular life, individuals are urged to participate in the larger recovery community by going to AA and NA meetings.

Apart from its therapeutic approach, Alpha Oaks offers an all-encompassing support structure including wholesome meals, laundry facilities, and a well-organized timetable that strikes a balance between therapeutic pursuits and scheduled free time on the weekends. The goal of this all-encompassing strategy is to support each resident’s mental, physical, and social wellbeing while also fostering a feeling of belonging and community that strengthens their will to become well.
