Monarch Recovery Centers – Sacramento

Monarch Recovery Centers changed everything for me. After years of addiction, I found a place that offered more than treatment—it offered transformation. The staff met me with compassion, structure, and unwavering… support. Monarch helped me rebuild my life, restore my sense of purpose, and discover that recovery is not only possible—it’s worth it. If you’re ready for change, Monarch is where it begins.

A great place to find the peace, encouragement, and self respect that we may have lost. Earned my trust by giving it to me real and showing me recovery doesn't have to be one way. That we all come from different… backgrounds and there is room for debate. Really got me to think about my feelings and how stuff affected me, but I had to be the one to make the right choices. Thanks Monarch for all the help and understanding you showed me! 18 ½ months clean and sober!! Thanks!!!

Monarch Recovery Center IOP program is life-saving! My son had tried other programs but the outcome was not positive. The staff at Monarch genuinely care about each clients Individual concerns. My son had hit rock… bottom. His recovery was like a roller coaster ride. The skilled and dedicated staff at Monarch embraced my son and offered him what was needed for him to want to recover! My son graduated from their program and is currently working towards being independent! He has learned self-appreciation. Monarch Recovery Center has brought serenity into my sons and my life🙏❤️🙏

This review is based on my brother's experience with Monarch Recovery Centers. After years of trying multiple facilities and IOP's, Monarch came through where others couldn't. The staff at Monarch is very professional… and dedicated to helping until there is a solution. With the many up and downs that come with recovery, Monarch pushes through and persist in the journey of recovery. Without Monarch, I know my brother would be in a very bad situation in his life, but because of the dedicated staff, he is on forward path to getting his life back together. Many IOP's set a time limit on recovery, which can limit the amount of progress that is made and also limit the knowledge that is learned. Monarch teaches and mentors their patients in a time that is reasonable and suitable to their clients. The staff at Monarch holds their patients accountable and insures that the path to recovery is followed in order to see a clear path forward. My family and I are very grateful for the effort and love that was put in towards my brother. Without their professional staff and great curriculum, I don't know where we would be. If you're looking for a place to get help in your life, put your trust in Monarch, you won't regret it.

For nearly a decade, I have struggled with addiction and have sought recovery in several different settings. I have experienced both inpatient and outpatient services in other facilities. I have never encountered… something as unique as Monarch. The heart and soul that management has put into their Intensive Outpatient Program and Sober Living environment is evident. They do not rush you through the program like I have experienced in the past elsewhere. In addition to professional and expert services and resources, Monarch cares about MY personal needs and challenges I face in MY life. I cannot express my gratitude nor recommend Monarch enough. They are and will be [in the life long journey] part of my recovery story.

My time at Monarch Recovery Centers IOP was to stay the least special. I have been to a few programs but none of them compared to what I experienced here. I experienced actual change during the program that has never… happened before. The team they have is the best. The curriculum is different they involve the group, you practice the tools you learn while in group so you are prepared to practice them in the real world. It’s well balanced assignments as well as role playing. The team actual cares about your success in recovery , they take the time to be there for you and listen. I have have found my authentic identity that I lost do to trauma and my addiction thanks to the Team at Monarch Recovery Centers as well as what I value in life starting with myself. If you or someone you love is struggling I highly suggest you get in contact with someone at Monarch Recovery Centers.

Monarch Recovery Centers is by far the best program I have ever been to, I have been to treatment 10 different times and the team at monarch has taught me more about addiction , recovery, relapse prevention, and how to… live and enjoy life without the need for drugs than all of the other programs I’ve been to combined. Joe has a really big heart and he actually cares about all of us and would do anything he can to help people, he is not in this for the money like most of the other programs I have been to, he is in this to save lives because he knows addiction is killing this country. I just graduated the 90 day IOP program and during that time David and Nic have taught me so much about myself and I’ve finally got down to the root cause of why I do what I do, it’s because I’m not feeling the way I want to feel. If you are into boring lectures then this program is not for you, we actually have fun here, going to group was my favorite part of the day, and I made such a bond with the team that I still show up on Friday nights. I am currently staying at the Davis house and the house is super nice and the place actually feels like home. I would like to thank the team at monarch for believing in me and giving me the tools I need to save me from myself.

Monarch Recovery Center (M.R.C.) is an amazing organization, comprised of amazing people. From Joe Britton (the owner) and to the INCREDIBLE "Skilled Help" of David Magana and Nic Johnson, I say Thank You for giving me… so many tools backed with facts for my recovery. I personally have 24 years of "Combined" Sobriety in AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and M.R.C.'s approach was completely different than what I was used to, but after a few meetings with David, I was completely hooked and couldn't wait till the next day of our lectures. Not like a common lecture where some random person speaks, David Magana literally lived the program that he was teaching us. Based upon R.D.A.P. (Resident Drug and Alcohol Program) taught in Jail, the approach took a tug on my heartstrings and immediately got me to think differently. I spent 90 days in the I.O.P. (Intensive Outpatient Program) and thanks to Nic and David, it truly was and IS A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE! Joe leads the way with his intense compassion for us and our recovery. He makes it real, and wants the best. Another treatment center I went to here and Sac was missing the point. I felt like I was part of a heard of cattle being let to some hay. They were missing very important things..... Joe, David, and Nick! The other treatment center didn't stand a chance against M.R.C. Here, at Monarch, they have lived this, and are no better than their clients. I was treated with respect, kindness, and love. Here, you learn how to LIVE your life whereas at the other place, it's a bunch of recycled rhetoric! No help for that place in the rough, but at Monarch, you feel hope! I could not have imagined nor asked for a better program than that taught at Monarch. I live in one of their beautiful Sober Livings, and will continue my relationship with them. I am safe here, and have new tools to cope with life as a sober member of society. Who, other than John Bradshaw, would have thunk it! Thank you for my life Joe, Nic, and David! You guys are the best!!!

I had the blessing of staying at one of the Carmichael locations with Joe; one of the founders. While due to my lack of education, inability to discipline myself, or the desire to continue using; I was able to stop… using for longer than 9 months... The caveat being I didn't even want to stop and I was able to stay sober for 9 months... Joe managed to find a template from which addicts can recover given that they put in the time in the effort and for that I am forever grateful
