About WestCare California Inc
WestCare California Inc is a CARF-accredited residential facility located at 2772 South MLK Jr Boulevard in Fresno, California, offering medically supervised detox alongside structured residential treatment. For individuals in Fresno County who need clinical withdrawal management before entering longer-term care, WestCare California provides an on-site continuum that eliminates the need to transfer between programs. The facility’s NPI-registered status confirms it operates as a recognized clinical provider within California’s behavioral health system.
The facility offers two primary levels of care: medical detox and residential treatment. Medical detox is the entry point for individuals whose substance use requires supervised withdrawal management before transitioning into the next phase of care. Residential treatment follows, providing an immersive, live-in program for those who need structured support beyond the detox period. Having both levels under one provider reduces disruption during one of the most clinically vulnerable windows of early recovery.
Clinically, WestCare California incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into its treatment approach, a method with a strong track record in addressing substance use and the thought patterns that sustain it. The facility also treats co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD alongside substance use, recognizing that these conditions frequently present together and require concurrent attention rather than sequential treatment.
WestCare California serves a notably broad population: men, women, pregnant women, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and those who are court-ordered into treatment. This range makes it one of the few Fresno facilities equipped to handle court-mandated cases alongside voluntary admissions within the same residential setting. Payment options include Medicaid and self-pay, lowering financial barriers for those who may otherwise delay seeking medically supervised detox.
