About Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency
Listed in West Sacramento, CA.
YOLO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY is a county-run alcohol and drug services provider located in WEST SACRAMENTO. It works on an outpatient basis, which means you go in for appointments and then return home rather than staying overnight. This kind of setup tends to suit people who are not in immediate medical danger from withdrawal, who have a safe and supportive place to live, and who need care around work or family schedules.
It can also be a starting point when you are not sure what level of help you need and want to talk it through with someone local. If you or your family member is having severe withdrawal symptoms, such as seizures, hallucinations, confusion, or a racing heart, treat that as an emergency. Call 911 or get to an emergency room right away rather than waiting for an outpatient appointment.

Licence and Status Details
This facility's alcohol and drug program license from the California Department of Health Care Services is active and in good standing. It is licensed or certified by the state, which means it has met California's requirements for providing outpatient substance use care. For you, that is a baseline of oversight and accountability.
It does not tell you everything, though, so it still makes sense to ask about staff, what a typical week of treatment looks like, and how the program would handle a setback. Note that the licensed service here is outpatient care, not round-the-clock residential or hospital detox, so if constant medical supervision is needed, ask them directly about options they can connect you to.

Questions to Ask Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency Before You Call
When you call YOLO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, it helps to have a few questions ready. Ask whether they currently have openings for outpatient alcohol treatment and how soon you could start. Ask what their outpatient program involves week to week, including how many hours of counseling or group sessions to expect.
Ask how they handle someone whose withdrawal turns out to be more serious than expected, and where they would send you instead. Ask what they charge, what insurance or county funding they accept, and whether there is a sliding scale. If medications for alcohol cravings or relapse prevention are part of their approach, ask how that works.
Finally, ask who you can contact after hours if things get hard between appointments.
