Alcohol/Drug Care Services Inc - Waterfront Recovery Services

Medical Detox and Residential Care in One Place

Waterfront Recovery Services offers medical withdrawal management (detox) and residential treatment for adults in Eureka, California. The program serves men and women with substance use disorders, including people with co-occurring disorders when substance use is the primary concern. Detox generally lasts three to 10 days, with longer stays possible for some substances, and residential treatment is available in 30-, 60-, and 90-day formats. For people who need help getting through withdrawal and then want to stay in structured care, this setup can make the next step feel more direct and manageable.

Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Based Programming

The program uses American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria to guide treatment planning and includes evidence-based approaches such as the Matrix Model, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention counseling, and 12-step facilitation. Waterfront also highlights Seeking Safety and trauma-informed groups. Individual, group, and family counseling are all part of care. This mix may appeal to clients who want addiction treatment that also makes room for trauma, mental health needs, and family dynamics.

Transitional Support for Daily Life After Treatment

Case management can help clients connect with identification services, Social Security offices, and other community resources. The program also offers support with employment, education, housing, and other practical next steps. Waterfront also provides extended support through transitional housing in Eureka, where graduates can continue attending groups and workshops focused on life skills, job-seeking skills, and college enrollment. For clients worried about returning to daily life without enough support, these services can help them start to build a stable foundation.

Community-Focused Recovery

Waterfront is a nonprofit program with a community-based feel. In addition to counseling and case management, it offers a family recovery group, music-based recovery programming, wellness activities, and culturally responsive programming connected to The Red Road. The program’s mission focuses on practical support, respect, and helping clients re-enter the community with stronger coping skills and structure.
