Women-Only, Trauma-Responsive Care

Awakenings by the Sea is one of Oregon’s few residential programs built entirely for adult women. The facility is grounded in a trauma-responsive model, offering mental health support alongside substance use treatment for those who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse, or other forms of trauma. The gender-specific setting supports emotional safety, while small-group formats and peer-based living create space for shared understanding and connection.

Medication Support in a Home-Like Setting

Though housed in a cozy residential home, the facility offers a medically supported program that includes access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT). The facility also offers HIV and hepatitis testing, vaccinations, and screenings for mental health concerns. This level of medical integration helps remove barriers to care and supports consistent recovery, especially for women balancing multiple health needs.

A Setting That Mirrors Real Life

The property blends comfort and practicality in a non-institutional environment. Clients share bedrooms, prepare meals together in a communal kitchen, and contribute to daily tasks. A short walk to the beach, the setting creates space for beach walks, yoga, and reflection. The atmosphere supports life beyond treatment by reintroducing routine, self-care, and social interaction, all foundational for re-entering work, school, or caregiving roles.

Clinical Depth with Everyday Impact

Awakenings uses evidence-based therapies delivered alongside group and individual counseling. Motivational interviewing and relapse prevention strategies are part of daily programming. For many, this clinical depth supports not just sobriety, but emotional regulation and skill-building that can translate to greater long-term stability in relationships, finances, and daily life.

Support That Extends Beyond Treatment

The program includes step-down care through partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) tracks, plus aftercare planning and alumni support. These elements are designed to reduce the drop-off that can happen after residential care and help clients stay connected to peer support, appointments, and structured activities that reinforce progress. For women navigating recovery in the real world, that continuity can be essential.

Patient Reviews: Strong Community, Meaningful Impact

Reviews from former clients describe Awakenings as a life-changing experience marked by compassion, structure, and peer support. Many cite the deep sense of sisterhood and emotional safety they found in the program. While a few noted challenges with adjustment or occasional interpersonal conflict, the overwhelming tone is positive—highlighting lasting friendships, therapeutic breakthroughs, and a renewed sense of self-worth. For many, the healing that began in Seaside extended well beyond their time at the facility.
