About Sun Street Centers
Sun Street Centers has served Monterey County since the 1970s with a mission to prevent and treat alcohol and drug addiction regardless of a client’s ability to pay. The King City campus on Broadway Street operates men’s and women’s residential programs and provides medically supported withdrawal management for adults entering treatment from across the Central Coast.
Residential care is built around evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, paired with a Family Empowerment Program that supports parents, partners, and children of clients. The organization is CARF-accredited and licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services, signaling adherence to recognized standards of care. An upcoming adolescent substance use disorder residential program will be the first of its kind in Monterey County.
Financial accessibility is central to the model. Sun Street accepts Medi-Cal, private insurance, TRICARE, sliding-scale, and self-pay arrangements, and the nonprofit’s donor-supported infrastructure subsidizes treatment for low-income residents. Affiliated services include the Hope Housing bridge program in Marina, which provides safe, sober housing for clients leaving residential treatment, and a Road to Success pre-diversion program for youth in Greenfield.
Clients and families benefit from Sun Street’s deep integration in the Monterey, Salinas, Greenfield, and King City communities. Beyond residential treatment, the organization runs prevention centers, a DUI program, outpatient counseling locations across Monterey County, and recovery services that follow clients into long-term sobriety. Spanish-language outreach is available through the broader organization.
