Who We Are
Founded in her family home in 1964 by Myrtle Valine, a recovering alcoholic woman whose strong will was exceeded only by her big heart, River City Recovery Center has evolved into a comprehensive residential treatment program which addresses all aspects of the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction.
River City Recovery offers a continuum of care and treatment to serve those who suffer from substance abuse at each stage of their disease.
For those who need to be stabilized prior to commencing treatment, we maintain a close affiliation with several long-established detoxification facilities.
Our intensive primary care residential treatment program for women is conducted in two large early-twentieth-century homes in the historic midtown neighborhood of Sacramento.
Our primary care program for men is conducted in a rural setting, on a 15 acre ranch in the small community of Herald, on the outskirts of Galt.
In order to provide a safe, structured, low-cost living environment for those who have completed treatment and are preparing to return to family and society, we offer six transitional/sober living facilities in midtown Sacramento. There are separate homes for men, for women and for women with their children.
