Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Services
Placer County uses Motivational Interviewing approaches to discuss substance use disorder services with you. This means their services are based on your needs. Whether you are contemplating a change or are ready to take action in your treatment, their staff will meet you where you are in that process.

They recognize that some people struggle to know if they have a problem, let alone how to access support, while others know they have a problem with a substance. They also recognize that treatment can begin at any point of this journey. Whether you are court referred or feel pressured into treatment, or are coming voluntarily, you will be met with attention, compassion, and respect when discussing any further steps or actions. Placer County staff look forward to helping explore recovery with you.
