At Sacramento Recovery House, Inc., we believe recovery is not about compliance, punishment, or simply abstaining from substances — it’s about reclaiming your life.

Under the leadership of Dr. B.J. Davis, Psy.D., our approach blends evidence-based clinical practices with authentic human connection to help individuals and families rediscover purpose, hope, and self-worth.

“You don’t have to wait for a miracle. You can create your own.” — Dr. B.J. Davis

Traditional addiction models often begin with the belief that people are powerless over their addiction. At SRH, we see things differently.

We believe that each person has the power to change — not through shame or fear, but through understanding, accountability, and support. Our team helps residents build the tools, skills, and belief systems that allow them to take control of their own recovery journey.

Our goal: to move people from powerlessness to empowerment, from surviving to living.

Our programs combine decades of proven practice with the most current research in behavioral health and trauma recovery. Each resident’s plan is personalized, integrating:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — developing new ways of thinking and responding
• Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) — challenging self-defeating beliefs
• Choice Theory — promoting personal responsibility and emotional regulation
• Motivational Interviewing — inspiring change through collaboration, not coercion
• Trauma-Informed Practices — recognizing and healing the underlying wounds that drive addiction

These methods are delivered in a safe, home-like environment where residents can learn, practice, and grow with dignity.

Research — and lived experience — show that the most powerful element of change is relationship. At SRH, we view the therapeutic alliance between client and counselor as the foundation of success.

Our staff are not distant observers; they are compassionate professionals and many are people in long-term recovery themselves.

They understand what it means to start over — and they walk beside each resident every step of the way.

Recovery doesn’t begin when someone is forced to change — it begins when they want to. That’s why SRH fosters motivation instead of fear, education instead of control, and collaboration instead of confrontation.

Residents are encouraged to discover their own “why” — the personal reason to keep going, even when early recovery feels difficult.

By aligning treatment with a client’s own values and goals, we create sustainable change.

We don’t hide the truth: early recovery can be hard. It takes work, patience, and courage. But at SRH, no one walks it alone — and relapse is not treated as failure.

We provide non-punitive, compassionate support for individuals at every stage of change. Each setback becomes an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to strengthen resilience.

“Early recovery is hard — but if you hang in there, we’ll hang in there with you.” — Dr. B.J. Davis

Sobriety is not the finish line — it’s the foundation. At Sacramento Recovery House, recovery means building a full, satisfying, and self-directed life: healthy relationships, meaningful work, emotional stability, and joy.

We measure success not just in days of abstinence, but in quality of life — because real recovery is about living, not just surviving.

For over 60 years, Sacramento Recovery House has been a place where lives are rebuilt, families are restored, and hope is reborn.

Under Dr. Davis’s leadership, we continue to evolve — combining compassion, education, and accountability into a recovery experience that truly transforms.
