Program Collateral & Information
Essentials At A Glance
Program Type: Short-Stay
To Make Referrals: This is not a self-referral or walk-in service. Individuals in need of the services of the Recovery Station will be screened and transported to the program by partner agencies including law enforcement, MET, behavioral health treatment providers, and homeless providers.
# Served: 10 clients
Who We Serve: Adult residents of Kern County who are intoxicated from either alcohol or drugs, and are referred to the Recovery Station. These individuals previously may have been arrested for public intoxication and/or taken to unnecessary psychiatric crisis programs. Clinicians and peer staff will engage clients to connect with ongoing substance and/or mental health services, ensure linkage and “warm hand-offs” to other community-based services, and post-discharge follow-up.
Address: 312 Kentucky Street, Bakersfield, CA 93305
Hours of Operation: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
About the Program: Telecare is proud to be partnering with Kern Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (Kern BHRS) to operate the Bakersfield Recovery Station in Bakersfield, CA.
The 10-client, short-stay, voluntary program will provide screening, access, and linkage to care for individuals with co-occurring mental illness and substance use needs. Services will be strength-based and person-centered and aim to promote recovery in a welcoming setting.
The goal of the Bakersfield Recovery Station is to provide a law enforcement diversion for persons who are acutely intoxicated and have a co-occurring mental illness where, instead of being arrested, they are presented with an opportunity for peer engagement, assessment, brief clinical interventions, and linkage with community-based services.
