- Ready to get help? Our Treatment Consultants are available 24/7.
You know you need help with substance use, but you’re also dealing with depression, anxiety, or trauma that makes everything harder. You’ve called treatment centers only to hear they can’t address both issues, or that psychiatric support isn’t available. Maybe you’ve tried counseling before, but without addressing the underlying mental health conditions, you couldn’t maintain sobriety.
We provide integrated addiction treatment in Modesto that addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. Our licensed addiction counselors specialize in dual-diagnosis care, and we collaborate with trusted psychiatrists when your treatment requires medication evaluation or psychiatric expertise.
Ready to start your recovery journey? Call us today at (209) 758-7477 to schedule your confidential addiction assessment. Most appointments are available within 2-3 business days.
We collaborate with psychiatrists as needed rather than having them on-staff, which gives you flexible access to psychiatric expertise when your treatment requires it. This partnership model means you receive right-sized care—comprehensive addiction counseling from our licensed specialists, with psychiatric consultation brought in for medication evaluation, complex co-occurring disorders, or when medication-assisted treatment could support your recovery.
We recommend psychiatric consultation when you’re considering medication-assisted treatment for opioid or alcohol use disorders, when you have complex mental health conditions requiring medication management alongside addiction treatment, or when previous recovery attempts suggest that underlying psychiatric conditions need medical intervention. Research shows that combining behavioral therapy with appropriate psychiatric medication improves outcomes for many people with co-occurring disorders.
We’ve built trusted relationships with board-certified psychiatrists throughout Stanislaus County who specialize in addiction medicine and dual-diagnosis treatment. When psychiatric support would benefit your recovery, we coordinate referrals, share treatment plans with your consent, and maintain ongoing communication to ensure seamless care.
Addiction counseling focuses on behavioral therapy and recovery skills, while addiction psychiatry addresses the medical and medication aspects of substance use disorders. Our licensed addiction counselors provide comprehensive evidence-based therapy, help you develop coping strategies, address trauma and co-occurring mental health conditions, and guide you through the behavioral changes essential for lasting recovery.
We treat substance use disorders involving alcohol, opioids, stimulants, marijuana, benzodiazepines, and other substances through individual therapy, group counseling, and intensive outpatient programs. We address co-occurring conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and trauma using cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care.
Psychiatric consultation becomes valuable when you’re considering medication-assisted treatment options like buprenorphine or naltrexone, when severe depression or anxiety requires medication management alongside therapy, or when you have bipolar disorder, severe PTSD, or other complex conditions where psychiatric medication significantly improves treatment outcomes. Studies indicate that integrated behavioral and pharmacological treatment produces better results than either approach alone for many dual-diagnosis clients (NIH).
Yes, we specialize in treating co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders simultaneously through our integrated treatment approach. Dual-diagnosis treatment is a core competency for us — research shows that treating both conditions together produces significantly better outcomes than addressing them separately or sequentially, and it’s central to our mental health clinic.
We offer flexible outpatient addiction treatment programs including individual therapy, group counseling, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and ongoing recovery support. Our outpatient model allows you to maintain work, family, and other responsibilities while receiving comprehensive treatment. We tailor program intensity to match your specific needs, clinical severity, and personal circumstances.
One-on-one counseling sessions provide personalized attention to your unique recovery challenges, trauma history, co-occurring conditions, and goals. We typically meet weekly or bi-weekly, using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy to change thought patterns driving substance use, motivational interviewing to strengthen your commitment to change, and trauma-focused therapy when past experiences contribute to addiction.
Group therapy connects you with others facing similar challenges, reducing isolation while building recovery skills. Our process groups focus on developing healthy communication, managing triggers, processing emotions without substances, and supporting each other’s progress. Research consistently shows that group therapy enhances individual counseling outcomes, with participants benefiting from shared experiences and accountability (NIH).
For clients needing more structure than weekly therapy but not requiring residential treatment, our IOP provides multiple sessions per week while you continue living at home. IOP typically involves 9-12 hours of treatment weekly, combining group therapy, individual counseling, and skill-building sessions.
Schedule your consultation today and take the first step toward better health.
Most clients can schedule an initial addiction assessment within the same week, often within 2-3 business days. We prioritize rapid access because we understand that the decision to seek help often comes during a critical window of motivation, and delays can derail that momentum.
Your initial assessment typically lasts 60-90 minutes and provides a confidential space to discuss your substance use history, mental health symptoms, previous treatment experiences, current life circumstances, and recovery goals. This isn’t a judgment—it’s a collaborative conversation to understand your needs and determine the right level of care.
After your assessment, we’ll recommend a treatment plan tailored to your specific situation and discuss scheduling. Many clients begin their first counseling session within a week of assessment. We’ll also coordinate psychiatric consultation if your treatment plan indicates that medication evaluation would support your recovery.
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans and work with you to maximize your behavioral health benefits for addiction treatment. Our team handles insurance verification before you start treatment, explains what your plan covers, clarifies your out-of-pocket costs, and works to make quality care accessible.
We’re in-network with most major insurance providers serving Stanislaus County and the Central Valley, including commercial plans, Medi-Cal, and Medicare. During your initial contact, we’ll verify your specific coverage and explain your benefits for outpatient addiction treatment, individual and group counseling, and intensive outpatient programs.
Many insurance plans cover a significant portion of addiction treatment costs, though coverage varies by plan. We’ll review your specific benefits including copays, coinsurance, deductibles, and session limits, so you understand your financial responsibility before starting treatment. Mental health parity laws require most insurance plans to cover behavioral health services, including addiction treatment, at levels comparable to medical care.
For clients without insurance coverage or with high deductibles, we offer affordable self-pay rates and flexible payment arrangements. We believe financial concerns shouldn’t prevent you from accessing life-saving addiction treatment.
We provide ongoing recovery support and aftercare planning to help you maintain long-term sobriety after completing your primary treatment program. Research shows that continuing care significantly reduces relapse risk and supports sustained recovery (NIH).
As you progress in recovery, we gradually reduce treatment intensity while maintaining support. You might transition from intensive outpatient programming to weekly individual therapy, then to bi-weekly or monthly check-ins as your recovery stabilizes. This step-down approach prevents the ‘treatment cliff’ where support suddenly disappears.
Before completing your primary treatment, we develop a detailed relapse prevention plan identifying your specific triggers and warning signs, outlining coping strategies for high-risk situations, establishing your support network contacts, and creating action steps if you experience cravings or setbacks. Studies indicate that structured relapse prevention planning significantly improves long-term recovery outcomes (NIH).
We combine specialized addiction expertise with integrated mental health care and flexible psychiatric collaboration to provide comprehensive, accessible treatment for Central Valley residents. Unlike facilities that treat addiction in isolation or require you to coordinate separate providers for mental health support, we deliver truly integrated care where your addiction counselor understands and addresses co-occurring conditions while seamlessly coordinating psychiatric expertise when your treatment requires it.
Our licensed counselors have advanced training and certification in addiction treatment, dual-diagnosis care, and trauma-informed approaches. We stay current with evidence-based practices and understand the complex interplay between substance use, mental health, trauma, and life circumstances. We also understand the non-judgmental, compassionate approach essential for effective addiction treatment.
We understand the unique challenges Central Valley residents face accessing specialized addiction and mental health care. Many regional treatment facilities have long wait lists, limited dual-diagnosis expertise, or don’t offer the psychiatric collaboration that complex cases require. We’ve built our practice specifically to fill these gaps for Modesto, Turlock, Ceres, Riverbank, and surrounding communities.
For clients in more rural areas of Stanislaus County or surrounding Central Valley communities, we offer telehealth services that bring quality addiction treatment to you. Research shows that telehealth addiction counseling produces outcomes comparable to in-person treatment while eliminating transportation barriers (NIH).
You don’t have to struggle alone with addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges. We’re here to provide the comprehensive, integrated treatment that addresses all aspects of your recovery—from evidence-based addiction counseling to coordinated psychiatric support when you need it.
Call GPS Counseling at (209) 758-7477 today to schedule your confidential addiction assessment. We’re ready to help you take the first step toward recovery.
