Comprehensive and caring substance abuse treatment

At Janus of Santa Cruz, we have helped thousands of people find their way out of alcohol and drug addiction and into healthy and productive lives.

For more than three decades, Janus has provided compassionate and effective substance abuse treatment while guiding clients’ journeys toward wellness and recovery. We offer help, hope and results
to individuals and families in need of alcoholism rehabilitation, drug detoxification and opiate addiction treatment.

Janus provides a variety of alcohol and drug rehab options designed for individual needs, from Outpatient Services and Short-term Detox to Extended Residential Treatment and ongoing medical treatment for opiate addiction at the Janus Community Clinic. Our Perinatal Program offers both residential and day programs for drug and alcohol dependent pregnant women and new mothers. And our two Sober Living Environments provide short-term as well as long-term stays.

Accessible Alcoholism and Addiction Treatment

At Janus, our mission is to assure affordable substance abuse treatment for everyone. Program packages offer significant savings of up to 75% compared to similar programs at other facilities. Janus accepts most insurance plans and will bill insurance directly. Discounts are available for low income clients paying out of pocket.

Successful Addiction Recovery

We know that overcoming the challenges of drug and alcohol dependence is difficult or even impossible to accomplish alone. But you’ve taken the first and most essential step toward recovery: seeking assistance for yourself, a family member or friend. You’re not alone – Janus is here to help.

A private nonprofit organization founded in 1976, Janus is respected as one of Central California’s most successful substance abuse treatment facilities. We are open to anyone and primarily serve the greater Santa Cruz area, including San Jose, Monterey and Salinas, as well as the San Francisco Bay Area.

The key to Janus’ success in addiction treatment is our compassionate, experienced and capable Staff. Every person, from administrators and intake counselors to detox specialists, realizes that he or she is essential to the treatment and rehabilitation. Many of our staff members have experienced their own addiction and recovery process, and have a deeply personal understanding of their clients’ needs.
