About

About Sierra Vista Hospital

Sierra Vista Hospital has served the Sacramento region as a private behavioral health and chemical dependency hospital since 1986. The 171-bed facility on Bruceville Road provides psychiatric inpatient care and addiction services to adults and adolescents (ages 13-17), with patients drawn from throughout Northern and Central California. Care is delivered by a clinical team of licensed psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, and counselors.

For patients with substance use disorders, Sierra Vista offers inpatient alcohol detoxification within its medical-psychiatric environment, supported by physician oversight and 24-hour nursing. Outpatient chemical dependency services and intensive outpatient (IOP) programming allow patients to step down into a less restrictive level of care while continuing structured treatment. Many patients have co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions, which the hospital’s dual-diagnosis approach is designed to address concurrently.

The hospital holds Joint Commission accreditation, the most widely recognized hospital quality credential, signaling adherence to rigorous patient safety and clinical standards. Sierra Vista accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, working with families to navigate coverage. Confidential level-of-care assessments are available 24/7 by phone.

Beyond the main Sacramento campus, Sierra Vista operates Branches outpatient locations in Davis, Elk Grove, and Folsom, expanding access to behavioral health and chemical dependency services across the region. Telehealth services let patients connect with providers without traveling, particularly useful for follow-up care and IOP sessions. Programming spans behavioral health, dual diagnosis, and chemical dependency, all anchored to the central Sacramento hospital.
