FIRST CHANCE SERVICES

FIRST CHANCE SOBERING STATION

The Sobering Station is a 24-hour program that serves as an alternative to jail for persons arrested for driving under the influence or public intoxication. This program operates 7 days per week, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. While clients are recovering from their intoxication, counselors complete assessments that can identify substance abuse problems and interact with the clients in an open, non-judgmental, and empathetic manner.

First Chance also welcomes individuals in a crisis or non-crisis situation that are not under the influence. These individuals will receive respite, an empathetic intervention, and needed referrals.

Our facility is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

First Chance Detox requires clients to complete a phone screening with us and receive a medical clearance from San Mateo Medical Center before admittance.
