Peaceful Beachside Setting

Located in a quiet residential area, this program offers care in a coastal, home-like environment. Clients stay in private or shared bedrooms and have access to a shared kitchen, dining area, living rooms, and outdoor relaxation spaces. The proximity to the ocean allows for beach walks, surfing, and other fitness activities that support early recovery. Wellness-oriented spaces for yoga or stretching help clients settle into treatment routines.

Integrated Detox and Residential Care

The center provides 24/7 residential detox and extended-stay treatment, allowing clients to complete early recovery phases in one place. Detox services cover alcohol and multiple substances, with medication support when clinically appropriate. Comprehensive assessments review substance use patterns, mental health symptoms, trauma history, pain, and overall physical health. Detox typically lasts 7–10 days, followed by 30–60 days of residential care. Treatment includes individual, group, and family counseling. Approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, and 12-step work.

Support for Co-Occurring and Neurodiverse Needs

Mental health services are available on-site, and medications for mental health conditions can be coordinated when needed. The program supports neurodiverse clients, including those with ADHD or autism spectrum traits, through structured, evidence-based models. Clients also have access to education and support related to HIV, hepatitis B and C, STIs, and tobacco use. Nicotine replacement and non-nicotine cessation options are available for those working toward quitting.

Step-Down Care, Aftercare, and Real-Life Support

After residential treatment, clients may step down to the facility’s partial hospitalization program (PHP), delivered five days per week with individual counseling, group therapy, case management, and relapse-prevention work. Aftercare includes weekly therapy, case management, and engagement in local 12-step groups. Clients can receive help with employment training, educational support, obtaining benefits, and navigating legal or social-service systems. Discharge planning includes referrals to sober living, community resources, and ongoing follow-up to support long-term stability.
