Community Medical Centers (CMC) is hosting an Open House on Wednesday, Aug. 27, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at CMC Manteca, 200 Cottage Ave., to introduce the new Manteca Recovery Center. The center will provide outpatient sobering services and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment, expanding recovery care for patients in Manteca and beyond.
Funded through support from Congressman Josh Harder and Health Plan of San Joaquin, the center will offer counseling, medication-assisted treatment, trauma care, case management, and referrals to community resources. As with all CMC services, care will be available to everyone in need, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
STOCKTON — Community Medical Centers will host an open house on Wednesday, Aug. 27, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., to introduce its new Manteca Recovery Center. The new space is designed to support patients who need outpatient sobering services and those working to overcome Substance Use Disorder (SUD).
The event will be held at CMC Manteca, 200 Cottage Ave. The Manteca Recovery Center is expected to open to patients in September.
“We’re very excited to bring recovery services to Manteca and the surrounding area,” CEO Greg Diederich said. “Our model of care is to offer substance use treatment side-by-side with primary care to improve access to services and reduce the stigma associated with seeking help.”
CMC Manteca already offers a wide range of healthcare services, including adult medicine, behavioral health, pediatrics, perinatal care, preventive dental, women’s health, and WIC.
The new facility is being established with $950,000 in federal funding secured by U.S. Congressman Josh Harder (D-Tracy) and an additional $840,000 from Health Plan of San Joaquin.
“We greatly appreciate the support that is enabling us to bring these much-needed services to the Manteca area,” said Chief Behavioral Health Officer Alfonso Apu. “The Manteca Recovery Center will benefit not only patients and their families, but the entire community.”
At full staffing, the new location will offer counseling, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), sobering services, mental health and trauma treatment, case management, linkage to CMC’s Respite Center in Stockton, and referrals to community partner programs.
The Manteca Recovery Center will also give the Manteca Police Department a new alternative to support individuals struggling with substance use, helping divert them from jail and into care.
“Substance use disorder comes with complex challenges and social stigma,” said Lei McMiller, CMC’s Director of Substance Use Disorder Services. “It’s vital for individuals seeking recovery to have a safe, supportive environment where they can access the services and treatment they need.”
With the addition of the Manteca Recovery Center, CMC expands its outpatient recovery services, complementing existing programs at Tracy Central and Waterloo, as well as its Respite Center in downtown Stockton, which offers inpatient care.
As with all CMC services, care will be available to everyone in need, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. For more information or to RSVP, visit our webpage, email info@cmcenters.org, or call (209) 373-2430.
