Madera County, CA – Madera County will break ground on a new state-of-the-art Crisis Stabilization and Sobering Center to support thousands of residents battling mental health and addiction crisis.
The 17,000 square-foot facility will provide care for adults and youth who do not require hospitalization or involvement with the justice system, offering a more appropriate and compassionate alternative for care. The $27 million dollar project is 90% funded by the state after the county was successful in securing a grant from Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program.
The facility will have dedicated mental health meeting rooms and beds for adult and youth serving up to 16 clients per day and another 10 rooms with beds serving clients battling addiction. Additionally, this facility will play a critical role in early intervention for children, helping guide them toward healthier, more positive outcomes.
Madera County Supervisor Leticia Gonzalez said, “This is about meeting people where they are, with care and dignity. It’s a step toward a stronger, more responsive behavioral health system for our community.”
The facility is set to open in July 2027.
