San Benito County Behavioral Health

The Basics

San Benito County Behavioral Health provides outpatient substance abuse treatment as well as mental health services—including prevention workshops and a crisis hotline—to residents of San Benito County, California. Located in Hollister, a small city 40 miles inland from Santa Cruz, San Benito County Behavioral Health’s substance abuse treatment program has been in operation since 2008. The county has a largely Hispanic population, and SBCBH offers all substance abuse services in both Spanish and English.

Treatment and Staff

Residents interested in substance abuse treatment must first attend an orientation session held each Thursday at 8:30 am. During this session, clients schedule an appointment for an assessment, after which they are given an individualized treatment plan that includes individual and group therapy. One-on-one sessions are scheduled as-needed, and group attendance can range from one to five 90 minute sessions each week. The average duration of treatment is six months.

San Benito’s substance abuse treatment team includes LCSWs, MFTs and CADCs, and clients with co-occurring disorders can receive therapy and medication management from the mental health department. Treatment is influenced by the Matrix Model and uses CBT techniques and the Thinking for Change curriculum. Clients are also encouraged to attend peer support meetings while in treatment, such as AA/NA or Celebrate Recovery.

Extras

For aftercare, clients can attend a weekly “social support” relapse prevention group. Additionally, San Benito offers a Parenting Under Stress class, anger management groups and a 12-week family group for loved ones of outpatient substance abuse clients. Twice each year, San Benito also has a 14-week Strengthening Families course to help adolescents and their parents improve their relationships.
