Sacred Oaks Healing Center is a residential treatment facility located in Davis, California, and operated through the Indian Health Service as part of the California Youth Regional Treatment Centers initiative. The center provides structured inpatient care for adolescents ages 12 to 17 who are experiencing substance use challenges and co-occurring behavioral health conditions. Designed as a co-ed program with a limited number of residential beds, the facility focuses on youth who require more intensive support than outpatient services can provide.
Programs at the center combine clinical treatment with behavioral health support and culturally informed approaches tailored primarily for American Indian and Alaska Native youth communities. Treatment typically includes individual, group, and family counseling alongside evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention planning, and motivational interviewing. Residents participate in structured daily programming that may include education, life-skills development, and wellness activities intended to support recovery and long-term stability.
As part of a broader federal initiative addressing youth substance use, the facility integrates medical care, mental health assessments, and individualized treatment planning within a residential setting. The program emphasizes stabilization, skill building, and preparation for returning to community life after treatment. Sacred Oaks Healing Center operates within a network of Youth Regional Treatment Centers that provide culturally responsive care models focused on resilience and recovery for adolescents facing substance use disorders.
