Our Mental Health Programs & Services
There’s no single path forward to recovery. That’s why we offer four levels of care, and help you figure out which one is right for where you are today.
Residential Treatment / Inpatient
Our highest level of care. Stay with us in a safe, home-like setting with 24/7 clinical support while you stabilize and heal.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Structured, full-day treatment five days a week, with evenings and weekends at home with the people you love.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
A few hours a day, several days a week — real therapeutic depth that fits around work, school, and family.
Substance Abuse & Detox Program
Medically supervised detox and substance use treatment — for when addiction and a mental health condition show up together.
Specialty Programs
We offer specialty programs for trauma, mood disorders, and other specialized tracks.
We offer our treatment for postpartum depression and other maternal mental health issues. Child care included.
Pregnancy and new parenthood can bring anxiety, depression, and feelings no one warned you about. If you’ve felt unsupported, unseen, or afraid to say how hard it’s been, our maternal mental health program was built for exactly this. We also offer a fully supervised on-site nursery for children up to age four, so you can focus on your care with your child by your side.
What We Treat
Our clinicians treat the full range of mental health conditions and the ones that show up together. You don’t need a diagnosis to call. You just need to be ready to talk.
Bipolar Disorder
Support for the highs, the lows, and finding steady ground between them.
Dual Diagnosis
When mental health and substance use are tangled together, we treat both.
Schizophrenia
Compassionate, expert care for you or a loved one — with dignity, always.

Why Families Choose Us
Big enough to help. Local enough to care.
Rooted in the community
Sierra Meadows was founded and is run by Central Valley locals who saw our community’s needs going unmet – and decided to do something about it.
Care backed by evidence (evidence-based treatment)
CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness-based therapy, medication management — our evidence-based treatment is grounded in what research shows actually works, delivered by seasoned clinicians.
A plan built around you (person-centered approach)
No two stories are alike, so no two treatment plans are either. Our person-centered approach shapes everything — from your first assessment to your aftercare plan — around your life, your goals, your pace.
Whole-person, holistic treatment
Therapy and medication are the foundation — but healing is not only clinical. Our holistic mental health treatment adds movement, nutrition, mindfulness, and family support, so the whole person gets care.
