BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES FOR ADULTS
The following list of mental health resources are the mental health programs and services available to adults in Sacramento County who are over the age of 18. Most of the services that are listed have few, if any, eligibility requirements, do not require insurance, and are free or low cost. The list includes those in Sacramento County that are funded by the Division of Behavioral Health Services, as well as State and National resources. Note: Services may be listed more than once.
Sacramento County also provides a number of mental health services to Medi-cal eligible adults who are experiencing a serious mental health illness. These services, including mental health assessments, medication, therapy/counseling and substance abuse counseling, require prior authorization from the Sacramento County Access Team.
To access these services, contact the Access team at (916) 875-1055 or toll free at 1-888-881-4881. Deaf and hard of hearing individuals may contact the Access Team by TTY/TDD at (916) 876-8892 or 711. More detailed information can be found under INPATIENT SERVICES and OUTPATIENT SERVICES included in this resource guide.
SacMap tries to keep this list up-to-date. If you find information that is incorrect or needs to be updated, or a great resource we should include, please email us.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, call each program prior to walking-in to confirm hours and program availability. Also ask about their safety requirements and checks for accessing services.
