About the Program: At TABS, we believe that recovery starts from within, and that our job is to do whatever it takes to provide the support needed on your recovery journey. TABS uses a multidisciplinary team approach, which includes personal service coordinators with experience in both drug and alcohol rehabilitation and mental health services, peer advocates, clinicians, psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a nurse. Many staff members also have personal experience with mental illness, homelessness, incarceration, and drug and alcohol recovery.

Your recovery starts with a carefully tailored treatment plan according to your specific needs. While you may be joining the TABS program because of a court order, we want you to know that, for us, it does not matter how you got to this point, what matters is that you feel better in your life and we are here to help you do that. We work with you to meet these needs by assigning you an intensive case manager who can help you with co-occurring treatment, life skills training, assisting you with social security and Medi-Cal, and community integration.
