About Essential Behavioral Health
In the bright Sacramento Valley, Essential Behavioral Health provides intensive outpatient services (IOP) for mental health concerns, substance use issues, and co-occurring disorders. The programs usually last from one to three months, with sessions held three times per week for about three hours each. Care generally involves weekly individual counseling along with group therapy, where clients work on communication, emotional regulation techniques, and self-care strategies. Essential Behavioral Health is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts most major insurance plans.

Questions to ask Essential Behavioral Health
- What does treatment cost without insurance, and do you offer a payment plan or sliding fee?
- How many hours a week is the outpatient or IOP schedule, and are evening groups available?
- If I need medication for opioid or alcohol use disorder, do you prescribe it or refer out?
- Do you treat mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety at the same time?
- Is there a waitlist, and how soon can you do an assessment?
- What happens after the program ends: aftercare, alumni groups or step-down care?
Also confirm the facility is licensed by California (this facility reports accreditation). If you are withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, ask about medical detox; do not stop suddenly on your own.
Paying for treatment at Essential Behavioral Health
Essential Behavioral Health did not report which payment types it accepts. If you have Medicaid, ask whether the facility accepts your California Medicaid plan or can refer you to one that does. Most private plans must cover substance use treatment on terms comparable to other medical care under federal parity law.
