Men's Drug Rehab
Joint Commission Accredited | CA DHCS Men's Residential Lic# 310023EP
Six men. One house. No ward, no rotating door of strangers. Men’s drug rehab at Pathways Recovery is a private, 6-bed residential program providing 30 to 90 days of 24-hour clinical care and dual diagnosis treatment built specifically for men. The program is based in Roseville, CA and serves Sacramento and Northern California. We accept most major insurance.
Who our men's drug rehab program is built for
Men with serious addiction rarely need less structure. They need the right kind. Our gender-specific program is for adult men whose substance use has progressed to the point where daily accountability, clinical supervision, and full separation from their using environment are what recovery requires.
That includes men coming straight from a medical detox who aren’t ready to return home, men who have tried outpatient treatment and relapsed, men with co-occurring depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD driving their use, and men whose work or family life has been directly damaged by addiction. Many of the men we treat have been managing their use for years. By the time they come to us, half-measures haven’t worked.
Six men in a private house means this is not a facility where you disappear. You are known by your clinical team, your peers, and the staff who are there with you around the clock. That accountability is part of what makes the program work.
The number one goal at our men's treatment program is to enable our clients to achieve their maximum potential.
What a day in our men's program looks like
Every day starts at 7:00 AM. Breakfast is prepared by our on-site chef using organic ingredients. Group programming begins at 9:00 AM with CBT skill-building, trauma processing, relapse prevention, and peer accountability groups, running through late morning. Lunch is served at noon.
Afternoons rotate through individual therapy, specialized modality work (brainspotting, art therapy, music therapy, or mindfulness), and three days per week, a private gym session with personal trainer Travis Cordero at a local facility. The gym work is real: Travis has trained men in recovery for years and understands what physical training does to sleep, mood, and the mental state that drives cravings. On days without the gym, yoga sessions are held at a local studio with certified trauma-informed yoga instructor Gabrielle. The back patio, private and quiet with smoking permitted, is available throughout the day.
Evening programming brings peer recovery groups, structured reflection, and the wind-down that makes sleep possible. After a full day of emotional processing and a solid workout, sleep is rarely the problem it was before.
Length of stay is 30 to 90 days. The exact duration is set by clinical assessment and individual progress, not a calendar. Individual therapy runs alongside group programming throughout the stay. Family education programming is available for family members during the residential period.
Clinical therapies in our men's program
Men in addiction treatment often arrive carrying years of suppression: pain that was managed with substances instead of processed. The therapies we use are chosen because they work specifically for how men tend to experience and avoid their internal states.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the automatic thoughts and behavioral patterns that sustain addiction. For men, this often means the externalized patterns: anger, risk-taking, numbing rather than feeling. CBT makes the invisible machinery of addiction visible and teachable. It runs throughout the program in both group and individual formats.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used for men who cycle between intensity and shutdown, swinging between extreme reactions or complete avoidance of emotion. DBT teaches distress tolerance and emotional regulation in a format that is skill-based and practical, which tends to land well with men who have resisted more open-ended talk therapy.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) addresses trauma at the neurological level rather than requiring men to talk their way through it. Men are statistically less likely to verbalize trauma, and EMDR provides an access point that doesn’t depend on that. Sessions are individual and conducted by a trained clinician.
Brainspotting is offered for men whose trauma or emotional blocks haven’t responded to talk therapy alone. It works through focused attention and bilateral stimulation in one-on-one sessions. Some men find it reaches places that years of conversation didn’t.
Motivational Interviewing runs through the early program to build internal commitment to change. Many men enter treatment with ambivalence about whether they actually want to stop. MI addresses that directly without confrontation.
Art Therapy is led by a credentialed art therapist (ATR/ATR-BC). Men who have never considered it often find it useful precisely because it sidesteps the verbal mode. The work done in art therapy frequently surfaces what hasn’t been said in group.
Music Therapy is offered in a group setting with licensed clinicians. For men who connect to music, which is most men, it builds emotional engagement in the recovery process without requiring vulnerability in the same register as group talk therapy.
Mindfulness and Meditation groups are led by a licensed mental health professional. For men with high reactivity patterns, mindfulness practice builds the pause between trigger and response that relapse prevention depends on.
Trauma-Informed Yoga with instructor Gabrielle at a local studio supports physical recovery, stress regulation, and body awareness. The men’s schedule includes yoga alongside gym work. The combination addresses the physiological dimension of recovery that clinical sessions alone don’t reach.
Recovery group exposure during the stay includes Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Refuge Recovery, SMART Recovery, and Celebrate Recovery. No single framework is required. We draw from multiple approaches because different things work for different men.

Substances we treat in our men's program
Our men’s residential program treats alcohol, opioids including fentanyl and heroin, benzodiazepines including Xanax and Klonopin, methamphetamine, cocaine, prescription stimulants including Adderall, and prescription painkillers including Opana and methadone. Co-occurring polysubstance use is treated alongside the primary substance. Medical detox at our Roseville facility precedes residential admission for men withdrawing from alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines.
Insurance coverage for men's residential treatment
We accept Kaiser Permanente, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, and most major commercial insurance for men’s residential treatment. Most commercial plans cover residential inpatient rehab when clinically necessary. Call (916) 735-8377 or submit the verification form at pathwaysrecovery.com/admissions/insurance-coverage/. Verification is free, confidential, and takes about 15 minutes by phone.
If your plan does not cover residential treatment or you do not have insurance, call our admissions team to discuss self-pay options and financing.
Men's addiction treatment serving Sacramento and Northern California
Our Roseville facility draws men from Sacramento, Placer County, El Dorado County, and the broader Northern California region. Roseville is 20 miles northeast of Sacramento along I-80, accessible in under 30 minutes from most Sacramento neighborhoods.
The Sacramento region, like most of California, has seen significant increases in opioid and methamphetamine-related treatment admissions over the past decade. Men make up the majority of those admissions statewide, and men in Northern California are less likely than women to seek treatment voluntarily. Our 6-bed model is built partly for that reality: a small, private setting where the barrier to entry feels less institutional.
We work with men arriving directly from home, from emergency departments, from other treatment settings, and from the criminal justice system. Residential admissions typically happen within 24 to 72 hours of first contact after insurance verification and a brief phone assessment. Call (916) 735-8377 to start that conversation today.

Men and women have different patterns of trauma, shame, and help-seeking. Mixed-gender groups can reduce how openly men engage, particularly in the early weeks. Six men in a private house creates a setting where peer accountability works because everyone knows each other. There is no anonymity to hide behind, and that turns out to be useful.
Men withdrawing from alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines typically complete medical detox first. Detox runs 5 to 14 days at our Roseville facility. Men withdrawing from stimulants or marijuana may step directly into residential depending on clinical assessment.
Wake-up at 7:00 AM. Chef-prepared breakfast. Group programming from 9:00 AM through late morning. Lunch at noon. Afternoon includes individual therapy, specialized modality sessions, and three days per week a private gym session with personal trainer Travis. Weekly yoga with Gabrielle at a local studio. Evening: peer recovery groups and structured reflection. The back patio is available throughout the day for private time.
Smoking is permitted on the private back patio. If you want to quit, we support that, but it is not required.
Most men step down into our IOP program, three sessions per week for six weeks. An individualized aftercare and relapse prevention plan is developed before discharge. Our alumni program provides ongoing peer community after you leave.
Many of the men we treat are fathers, and staying connected to family is often part of what motivates recovery. Our residential program includes family education programming, and our outpatient and evening tracks are built so men can maintain work and family responsibilities while in treatment. During residential care, we help you plan appropriate contact with your children as part of your recovery goals.
