Conditions We Treat as Co-Occurring
The following conditions are not typically the primary admission reason at Sacramento Mental Health, but we address them when they are part of an integrated clinical picture alongside a primary mental health diagnosis our program treats.
Eating Disorders (Co-Occurring Only)
We do not provide primary eating disorder treatment. When an eating disorder is co-occurring with a primary mental health condition that has brought an adult into our residential program (depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma), our clinical team addresses the eating disorder as part of the integrated picture, with coordination to eating-disorder-specialist outpatient care for continued treatment post-discharge.
Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders frequently accompany mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use. Our clinical team addresses sleep as part of the integrated treatment for the primary condition. Standalone sleep disorders (such as primary insomnia or sleep apnea) are not a residential indication and are managed through sleep-medicine outpatient care.
Chronic Pain (When Psychologically Complicated)
Chronic pain frequently co-occurs with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use. When the pain is complicating treatment of a primary mental health condition, our clinical team addresses the psychological dimensions of pain alongside the primary diagnosis. Primary pain management is handled by pain-medicine specialists.
Grief and Bereavement Complications
Complicated grief, prolonged grief disorder, or grief-precipitated depression can be part of the clinical picture in a primary depression or anxiety diagnosis. Our clinical team addresses grief alongside the primary condition.
Adjustment Disorders With Severe Functional Impact
Adjustment disorders with significant depressive, anxious, or behavioral features that have crossed into severe functional impairment may warrant residential care when the picture overlaps with our primary scope.
Conditions Outside Our Scope
To help adults and families find the right level of care without delay, the conditions below fall outside our scope. We are happy to provide guidance on appropriate alternative providers.
Adolescents and Minors
We treat adults age 18 and older. Adolescent and pediatric mental health care is provided by specialized facilities.
Acute Psychiatric Hospitalization
We are a residential program, not an acute psychiatric hospital. Adults in active acute crisis, first-episode psychosis, or requiring inpatient psychiatric hospitalization need acute hospital-level care first.
Detoxification (Detox-Only)
We do not provide medical detoxification services or standalone substance use treatment. Adults requiring detox are connected to a partnering detox provider before admission for integrated dual-diagnosis residential care.
Primary Eating Disorder Treatment
Primary eating disorder treatment requires specialized facilities with medical, nutritional, and therapeutic protocols specifically built for eating disorders. We address eating disorders only as co-occurring with a primary mental health diagnosis we treat.
Cognitive Disorders and Dementia
Adults with primary cognitive disorders — Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia — need care in memory-care or neurology-specialized facilities.
Neurological Conditions
Traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological conditions are not within our scope. Care is provided through neurology specialists.
Outpatient, IOP, and PHP Levels of Care
We provide residential-level care. Outpatient therapy, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are provided by other organizations. We coordinate step-down to outpatient care after the residential stay.
