Celebrating Over 50 Years of Hope, Healing and Community
The Leader In Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Janus of Santa Cruz was founded in 1976 by physician Dr. Robert G. O’Briant, who introduced a highly effective approach for treating alcoholism in a social model setting.
In 1981, Janus became a non-profit organization and has continued to add, expand, and improve programs over the years. Today, that first modest facility has grown into one of the most respected, full-service Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment centers in central California, serving over 5,000 clients and their families each year.
We offer a full scope of services, including Medically Supervised Withdrawal Management, Residential Treatment, Perinatal Treatment, Medication Assisted Treatment, Intensive Outpatient Programs, Overdose Prevention, Continuum of Care, and a Sobering Center.
