Addiction sneaks up on you. What started as occasional use has become the thing running your life — when you’ll use next, how to hide it, how to get through one more day. You’ve tried quitting on your own. Maybe more than once. But the cravings drag you back every time, and the weight of carrying this secret is wearing you down. Your relationships, your job, your health — all slipping.
And every day without help, it gets worse. Your body’s showing the damage. Shaking hands in the morning. Can’t sleep without using. The people closest to you are pulling away because they don’t know what to do. Money problems are piling up, and the fear of withdrawal keeps you locked in a cycle you’d give anything to break.
Here’s what we want you to know: recovery is absolutely possible. At GPS Counseling, we provide thorough addiction treatment in Modesto using evidence-based approaches that go beyond the substance use itself — we get to the root of what’s driving it. Our medical team, licensed therapists, and staff build personalized treatment plans that meet you right where you are.
Don’t wait another day. Call us at (209) 758-7477 for a free, confidential consultation. Our admissions team will answer your questions, walk you through treatment options, and verify your insurance benefits.
We provide a full continuum of addiction care, from medically supervised detox through long-term aftercare. Our treatment levels are designed so you get the right intensity of care for your specific situation and recovery goals.
Inpatient treatment means 24/7 structured care in a safe environment, away from triggers. If you’re dealing with severe addiction, multiple relapses, or an unsafe home situation — this is where we’d start. Residential programs typically run 30–90 days and include individual therapy, group counseling, medical care, and life skills training.
Our intensive outpatient program delivers 9–12 hours of weekly treatment while you keep living at home. You’ll attend sessions three to four days a week, usually evenings, so work and family don’t have to stop. IOP is a strong fit if you have moderate addiction with stable housing and a supportive environment.
Standard outpatient treatment — 1–3 hours of therapy weekly — gives you the most flexibility. Best for mild to moderate addiction with solid support systems. It also works well as a step-down after completing a higher level of care.
We provide medically supervised detox with around-the-clock monitoring to keep you safe and as comfortable as possible through withdrawal. Our medical team follows evidence-based protocols using FDA-approved medications — making detox dramatically safer than trying to quit cold turkey.
When you’re admitted, you’ll get a full medical evaluation covering your physical health and substance use history. Our staff tracks your vitals continuously and administers medications targeting symptoms like nausea, anxiety, tremors, and insomnia.
Opioid withdrawal typically peaks within 72 hours — we use medications like buprenorphine to cut those flu-like symptoms and intense cravings significantly. Alcohol withdrawal is a different animal entirely. It can be life-threatening, so we use benzodiazepines to prevent dangerous complications like seizures. Research shows that medically supervised detox reduces the risk of complications by over 80% compared to unsupervised withdrawal attempts (NIH).
But detox alone isn’t treatment — it’s step one. Once your body clears the substance, we build a treatment plan addressing the psychological, behavioral, and social dimensions of your addiction.
We use proven therapeutic methods backed by decades of research. Our clinical team combines multiple evidence-based therapies, tailored specifically to you.
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps you spot the thought patterns fueling your substance use. During CBT sessions, you’ll learn to recognize triggers, challenge distorted thinking, and build healthier coping strategies. Studies indicate that CBT reduces relapse rates by approximately 40–50% compared to no treatment (NIH).
Motivational interviewing takes a different approach — collaborative, not confrontational. We help you explore your own reasons for getting sober and work through any ambivalence. Research shows this leads to stronger engagement and better outcomes (NIH).
Then there’s group therapy. You’ll connect with people who genuinely understand what you’re going through — sharing experiences, learning from each other’s setbacks and wins, building a real support network. Honestly, the power of peer support is hard to overstate. Hearing someone else’s story breaks through the isolation in a way nothing else can.
Yes — and we consider it non-negotiable. We specialize in dual diagnosis treatment that tackles addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously. Research shows that approximately 50% of individuals with substance use disorders also have a mental health condition, and treating both together is the only path to lasting recovery (NIH).
These conditions feed each other. You might drink to quiet anxiety or use to escape depression, but the substance use makes the mental health worse, which drives more use. Vicious cycle. Breaking it means treating both at once.
We address the full spectrum — depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD — alongside addiction. From day one, your plan covers both conditions. Our psychiatrists, therapists, and medical staff stay tightly coordinated. You’ll receive psychiatric medications when appropriate, therapy targeting both issues, and regular check-ins to adjust your treatment as you progress.

Yes, we offer full medication-assisted treatment combining FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT is the gold standard for opioid and alcohol use disorders — research shows it reduces overdose deaths by approximately 50% and dramatically improves treatment retention (NIH).
These medications work by stabilizing brain chemistry, blocking the euphoric effects of substances, and relieving physiological cravings. That means you can actually focus on therapy and rebuilding your life instead of white-knuckling through every hour.
For opioid addiction, we offer methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), and naltrexone (Vivitrol). For alcohol use disorder, we use naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram (Antabuse). Evidence suggests these medications can double your chances of maintaining abstinence (NIH). But medication alone isn’t enough — combined with therapy, it addresses the full picture: physical, psychological, and social.
Our Modesto location gives us firsthand understanding of the substance abuse challenges facing Stanislaus County — and strong connections to local resources that support long-term recovery right here in your community.
Central California deals with real, specific problems: high methamphetamine use throughout the Central Valley and climbing opioid-related overdoses in Stanislaus County. We see these patterns every day and shape our treatment accordingly.
We’ve built strong partnerships with Stanislaus County Department of Behavioral Health, local hospitals, law enforcement and drug court programs, and community recovery organizations. These connections mean you have access to a full network of support during and after treatment. And we’re easily accessible to residents throughout Stanislaus County — Turlock, Ceres, Riverbank, and surrounding Central Valley communities.
We accept most major insurance plans and work with every client to find financial solutions. Cost should never stand between you and recovery.
We’re in-network with Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medi-Cal, and Medicare. California law requires insurance plans to cover substance abuse treatment at the same level as other medical conditions — so your coverage is probably better than you think.
No insurance? We offer flexible payment plans, sliding scale fees based on income, and financing through third-party healthcare lenders. Our admissions team handles free, confidential insurance verification before you commit. We contact your insurer, determine coverage and out-of-pocket costs, explain benefits in plain language, and discuss options for any remaining balance.
We strongly encourage it — because addiction affects the whole family. Research shows that family participation significantly improves treatment outcomes and long-term recovery success (NIH).
Our family therapy sessions give you and your loved ones space to work through relationship damage, improve communication, address enabling patterns, and start rebuilding trust. A trained therapist guides these conversations in a safe, structured setting.
We also run family education programs so your loved ones can understand addiction as a disease, learn to support recovery without enabling, and spot warning signs of relapse. And we connect families with groups like Al-Anon and Nar-Anon for ongoing peer support.
Recovery doesn’t have an end date — and neither does our support. We provide detailed aftercare planning and ongoing resources to help you stay sober and build a life worth living.
Before you finish treatment, we create a relapse prevention plan together. It identifies your personal triggers and high-risk situations, lays out specific coping strategies, lists people you can call, and includes warning signs for you and your loved ones to watch for.
After that, we offer continuing outpatient therapy at reduced frequency, alumni groups, and referrals to community support like AA and NA. If you need extra structure in early recovery, we’ll help connect you with sober living facilities too.
You’ve already taken the hardest step — reading this far and actually considering treatment. Recovery is possible. Thousands of people just like you have rebuilt their lives after addiction. Call us now at (209) 758-7477 to talk with our admissions team. We’ll answer your questions, verify your insurance, and help you start treatment as soon as you’re ready.
