Since 1964, Sacramento Recovery House, Inc. (SRH) has been a place where men and women rebuild their lives, restore their families, and rediscover their potential. Founded on a commitment to compassion, accountability, and community, SRH has grown from a single social-model recovery home into a leading provider of trauma-informed, evidence-based residential treatment in the Sacramento region.

To provide safe, supportive, and empowering residential recovery services for adults experiencing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges—helping each person reclaim their life with dignity, purpose, and lasting wellness.

Recovery at SRH is not about control or compliance—it’s about empowerment, education, and connection.
Under the leadership of Dr. B.J. Davis, Psy.D., Executive Director, we embrace a modern clinical philosophy grounded in:

• Evidence-Based Practice – integrating the best of psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience

• Trauma-Informed Care – recognizing the roots of pain and promoting healing without shame

• Client-Centered Treatment – aligning therapy with each person’s unique values and goals

• Therapeutic Alliance – building genuine, trusting relationships between staff and clients

• Recovery as Quality of Life – measuring success not just by abstinence, but by personal growth and fulfillment

“People aren’t powerless. When we believe in them—and teach them to believe in themselves—they create their own miracles.”
— Dr. B.J. Davis, Executive Director

Our Staff
Our counselors, clinicians, and support staff share one purpose—to walk alongside our residents through every step of recovery. Many are individuals in long-term recovery themselves, bringing empathy, insight, and authenticity to the work we do.

SRH operates two gender-specific residential programs:

• Sacramento Recovery House – a 17-bed facility for men seeking structure, accountability, and renewal.

• Gateway House for Women – an 18-bed program offering safety, healing, and empowerment in a home-like setting.

Each program combines clinical best practices with the strength of community living—helping residents build self-efficacy, restore relationships, and achieve lasting recovery.

For six decades, Sacramento Recovery House has evolved alongside the science of recovery. What began as a 12-Step social-model home has grown into a modern behavioral health organization that integrates therapy, education, and family involvement while retaining the sense of home, connection, and community that has defined us since 1964.

Today, SRH stands as a bridge between the traditional values of recovery and the scientific understanding of human change.

Every person deserves the chance to recover with dignity.

At Sacramento Recovery House, we meet people where they are—without judgment—and help them build the life they deserve.

“Recovery is the process of becoming who you were meant to be.”
