Why wait?
For many individuals in Sacramento, the path to recovery is often blocked by two major hurdles: the cost of professional clinical treatment and the lack of a stable, safe place to live. At Monarch Recovery Centers, we believe that high-quality care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation or housing status.
By leveraging the Medi-Cal benefit and the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program, we are providing a comprehensive solution for those ready to change their lives from within.

Solving the Housing Crisis: The BHBH Program
Clinical treatment is most effective when the individual has a safe, substance-free environment to return to each night. For those experiencing homelessness or housing instability in Sacramento County, the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program is a literal lifesaver.
What is the BHBH Program?
The BHBH program is a state-funded initiative designed to provide transitional “bridge” housing for people with serious behavioral health conditions. In partnership with Sacramento County, Monarch provides structured residences that act as a foundation for long-term stability.
- Safe & Structured Environments: Our BHBH Sac County Housing offers more than just a bed; it provides a community of peers and a professional staff dedicated to resident safety.
- Eligibility: This program is specifically designed for individuals eligible for Sacramento County Behavioral Health Services who are currently experiencing housing instability.
- A Pathway to Permanency: The goal of BHBH is to provide the support needed to eventually transition into permanent, independent housing.
The Synergy: Why Housing and Treatment Must Go Together
The “Monarch Difference” lies in our ability to treat the whole person. When a resident utilizes a BHBH housing placement while simultaneously attending our Medi-Cal IOP, they create a “recovery ecosystem.”
- Reduced Stress: By removing the worry of “where will I sleep?” and “how will I pay for treatment?”, the individual can focus 100% on their clinical work.
- Continuity of Care: Our clinical team at the Sacramento IOP works in tandem with our housing managers to ensure that progress made in therapy is supported by the environment at home.
- Community Connection: Residents are surrounded by others in the Monarch Sober Living community, reducing the isolation that often leads to relapse.
