About John Muir Health
John Muir Health is one of the East Bay’s largest nonprofit health systems, with its Behavioral Health Center and chemical dependency services anchored at the Concord medical campus. The Grant Street facility provides medical detoxification and residential treatment for adults with substance use disorders, integrated with the system’s broader continuum of behavioral health and medical services across Contra Costa County.
John Muir Health holds Joint Commission accreditation, the gold standard hospital quality credential. The system has been recognized in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals rankings as a top-three San Francisco metro hospital and a top-15 California hospital. Dr. Fred VonStieff, MD, leads addiction medicine services and is referenced in organic search results as a recognized addiction medicine physician in the Concord program.
Clinical care for substance use disorders includes medically supervised detoxification, residential rehabilitation, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core evidence-based modality. The program serves a broad patient population, including adolescents, veterans, pregnant women, seniors, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, those with co-occurring mental health needs, and court-ordered clients. Deaf and hard-of-hearing accommodations are available.
As a comprehensive hospital system, John Muir Health accepts Medicare, Medi-Cal, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and offers financial assistance for qualifying patients. The MyChart patient portal lets clients message their care team, schedule appointments, and access records. Outpatient behavioral health and primary care integration support continuity after discharge from inpatient or residential addiction treatment.
