Who We Serve: Adult residents of Kern County who are intoxicated from either alcohol or drugs, and are referred to the Recovery Station. These individuals previously may have been arrested for public intoxication and/or taken to unnecessary psychiatric crisis programs. Clinicians and peer staff will engage clients to connect with ongoing substance and/or mental health services, ensure linkage and 鈥渨arm hand-offs鈥 to other community-based services, and post-discharge follow-up.

About the Program: 色中色 is proud to be partnering with Kern Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (Kern BHRS) to operate the Bakersfield Recovery Station in Bakersfield, CA.
The 10-client, short-stay, voluntary program will provide screening, access, and linkage to care for individuals with co-occurring mental illness and substance use needs. Services will be strength-based and person-centered and aim to promote recovery in a welcoming setting.
The goal of the Bakersfield Recovery Station is to provide a law enforcement diversion for persons who are acutely intoxicated and have a co-occurring mental illness where, instead of being arrested, they are presented with an opportunity for peer engagement, assessment, brief clinical interventions, and linkage with community-based services.
