Program areas at Sun Street Centers
Residential Programs - This state-licensed recovery program provides a supportive environment for men and women seeking a life free from the devasting effects of drug and alcohol addiction. Certified counselors and recovery participants incorporate the principals of Social Model recovery, which utilize a peer-oriented, mutual help system that views the participant as a student, not a patient. Residents attend 12-step meetings, get a sponsor, and take personal responsibility for their own recovery. The facilities include a kitchen, library, several meeting rooms and a recreational area. Participants attend a variety of activities, including community events and volunteer activities. "Giving back" to the community is an important aspect of the recovery process. Mental health therapy and withdraw management detox is provided. Locations are in Salinas, Hollister, King City and our newest in San Luis Obispo (opened 8/22) 450 clients were served in the FY 2021-2022.
