You're drunk. Or high. Not dangerously—you're not overdosing. But you're intoxicated and you have nowhere safe to be. You're about to sleep it off on the street. Or in your car. Or somewhere dangerous.

Or the cops found you. They're about to arrest you for public intoxication. Or take you to the ER where you'll wait for 8 hours and get a huge bill.

Here's the truth: Over 1 million people are arrested each year for public intoxication in the U.S. And people who sober up on the street are 10 times more likely to be assaulted, robbed, or die from exposure. You need a safe place.

There is a safe place. For free.

Free Safe Place to Sober Up—No Arrest, No ER, No Judgment

If you have Medi-Cal and you're intoxicated (alcohol or drugs), you can go to a sobering center for free:

What Sobering Centers Are:

• Safe places to sleep off alcohol or drugs

• Medical monitoring (nurses watch you to make sure you're okay)

• Food, water, a bed, a shower

• No judgment, no arrest, no ER bill

• Stay for up to 23 hours until you're sober

What They Provide:

• Medical observation (make sure you're safe)

• Food and water

• Clean bed and shower

• Referrals to treatment if you want it

• Connection to housing, food, and other services

• Transportation when you leave

Alternative to:

• Jail (public intoxication arrest)

• ER (expensive, long wait, doesn't help)

• Street (dangerous, you could die)

When to Go:

• You're drunk or high and need a safe place

• Cops are about to arrest you for being drunk in public

• You're about to be taken to the ER for intoxication

• You need to sober up safely before going home

People in Modesto, Stockton, and Merced are using sobering centers right now instead of jail or the ER. You could too.

Here's What Happens Without a Safe Place

You already know. You get arrested. Public intoxication on your record. Or you sleep on the street and get robbed. Or assaulted. Or you freeze. Or you choke on your vomit and die.

People who are publicly intoxicated are 20 times more likely to die from injury or exposure than sober people. You're vulnerable. You need somewhere safe.

Here's What to Say (So You Qualify)

How you describe your situation matters. Never lie. But frame it right.

❌ DON'T say: "I got drunk last night." ✅ DO say: "I'm experiencing acute alcohol or substance intoxication. I need a safe monitored environment to sober up to avoid arrest, ER, or harm."

❌ DON'T say: "I need somewhere to crash." ✅ DO say: "I'm publicly intoxicated and at risk of arrest or injury. I need sobering center services as a safe alternative to jail or emergency room."

❌ DON'T say: "I drink a lot." ✅ DO say: "I have substance use issues and need safe crisis stabilization when intoxicated to prevent legal consequences and connect to treatment."

The difference? One meets criteria. One doesn't. Both are true. Frame it right.

Is This Really Free?

Yes. Completely free.

If you have Medi-Cal and you're intoxicated, sobering centers are covered. Your health plan pays for it.

No co-pay. No bills. No arrest record.

Even if you own a car or have some savings, you still qualify. Medi-Cal doesn't count that anymore.

The only "catch" is you have to be intoxicated but not overdosing. If you're overdosing, you need the ER.

This Could Save Your Life

Imagine this: You're drunk. You know you shouldn't be on the street. Instead of getting arrested or hurt, you go to a sobering center.

They let you in. No judgment. They give you water, food, a bed. A nurse checks on you. You sleep it off safely. In the morning, they offer to connect you to treatment if you want it. You leave. No arrest. No ER bill. You're alive.

That's what this does. Free. Right here in Modesto, Stockton, and Merced (when available).

You'd be crazy to risk arrest or death when a safe place exists.

Click here and get started. Two minutes. That's it.
