Wellness Resource Center

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who need structured outpatient treatment while staying in sober community housing; want step-down care in one location; young adults and LGBTQ+ individuals looking for specialized programming; willing to participate in 12-Step meetings and group therapy; have private insurance or can self-pay.

• Not a fit if: Those who need acute, hospital-level care or medical detox; require a 24/7 residential environment; want a non-12-Step approach; prefer self-directed treatment; have Medicaid, or are uninsured and unable to self pay.

What to expect

Typical schedule

• Phase 1: Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Clients receive treatment seven days per week: Monday to Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 9: a.m.-12 p.m. When not in treatment, they can stay in nearby community housing.
• Phase 2: Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Clients can continue to live in community housing while attending IOP, or they may choose to live at home. Evening IOP sessions run Monday to Friday 6 -9 p.m.
• Evidence-based therapy and 12-step: Therapists employ proven techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), relapse prevention, and trauma counseling. Clients also regularly attend 12-Step meetings.
• Holistic approaches: Clients can participate in mindfulness, yoga, art therapy, nutritional therapy, equine therapy, and various experiential therapy groups.

Living experiences and amenities

• Community housing: While in treatment, clients stay in sober apartments in a nearby residential neighborhood not far from the beach. Accommodations include a heated swimming pool, a recreation room, and lounge areas.
• Daily responsibilities: As clients stay in community housing rather than in a 24/7 residential facility, they have more freedom. Outside of sessions, clients can work if their job does not interfere with treatment. Staff take clients grocery shopping twice a week; clients must purchase their own food, as meals are not provided.
• Weekend outings: Clients can participate in group outings such as trips to the beach or bowling, as well as other fun activities around the community.
• Support for families: When desired, family therapy sessions are available. This can occur through telehealth when needed. Wellness Resource Center also organizes family weekends.

Developing your care plan

• Personalization: Treatment is adapted to each client’s unique needs, including their goals and challenges, priorities, and the outcomes they desire.
• Client collaboration: Clients are actively involved in the creation of their treatment plans. Therapists work with them to shape these plans and provide guidance along the way.

Who you will meet with

• Therapists and counselors: Primary therapists meet with clients for one-on-one sessions. Therapists and counselors also lead group sessions throughout the day.
• Doctors and nurses: Attend to clients’ health needs throughout treatment.
• Psychiatrists: Provide care for clients who have co-occurring mental health conditions, including eating disorders.
• Case managers: Help with practical needs such as finding long-term housing and employment counseling, as well as navigating social services when needed.

Aftercare

• Step-down care: As their needs progress, clients can step down from PHP to IOP, gradually increasing their independence.
• Discharge planning: Before clients leave treatment, staff can help them set up continuing care plans. This can include connections with peer support groups and local 12-Step meetings.

Pre-admissions experience

We conducted a series of pre-admissions calls, the most recent on May 21, 2026, to evaluate response time, transparency, and patient experience.

When we reached out to Wellness Resource Center, the admissions team was prompt and responsive. They talked us through daily groups, an outline of the clinical team, and treatment planning. The conversation felt helpful and straightforward, with clear explanations around cost and insurance.
