Capo by the Sea

A Residential Setting Focused on Women’s Recovery

The center offers a women-only residential environment with medically monitored withdrawal management supported by nursing assessments, lab work, and rest periods. Daily routines incorporate meals, time for socializing, and opportunities to practice healthier habits. The setting is intentionally communal, giving women a safe, predictable space to heal.

Medications for Addiction Treatment and Integrated Mental Health Care

Women may receive medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and psychiatric medications on-site as needed so clients don’t have to navigate multiple providers. This can help reduce cravings, manage withdrawal discomfort, and address co-occurring mental health. The program also supports women living with HIV or hepatitis C through coordinated medication management, making it easier to maintain continuity of care during treatment.

Trauma-Informed Counseling and Skill Building

The program offers trauma-related counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse-prevention strategies, and 12-step work. Women participate in individual, group, and family counseling, using these sessions to work through long-standing stress, grief, or relationship conflict. Life skills training reinforces practical abilities — such as managing appointments, rebuilding daily routines, and preparing for employment — that support long-term stability. Therapists emphasize grounding strategies, emotional regulation, and building supportive peer connections within the residential community.

Specialized Care for Pregnant, Postpartum, and Medically Complex Clients

Pregnant and postpartum women receive specialized attention with access to medications, counseling, medical monitoring, and case management to promote maternal health and safer recovery. The program also serves women with co-occurring disorders, providing consistent psychiatric oversight. This coordinated model is especially valuable for women whose past treatment was interrupted by childcare demands, transportation gaps, or inconsistent access to medical care.

Practical Support for Long-Term Stability

Case managers are available to help clients apply for social services, explore transitional housing, and secure benefits such as Medicaid or disability programs. Employment counseling and job training support women returning to work or pursuing new roles after treatment. Transportation assistance helps clients access medical appointments and community resources. Before discharge, staff provide naloxone education, safety planning, and referrals to outpatient therapy, peer support groups, and recovery coaches.
