“I would recommend Wavecrest to anybody trying to change their life for the better. The staff is so responsive and encouraging. I feel like they meet clients where they are at and are willing to personalize their treatment plan to the best benefits of the individual client. It’s not a one size fits all approach. They have amazing clinicians that help with medication management and the groups themselves are engaging. The facilitators make sure to connect with the group as a whole. They make clients feel safe and heard and affirmed.”

The operations and clinical staff work together to provide services including group and individual therapy, MAT, and give an intensive introduction to 12-Step based recovery programs that will benefit individuals long after they leave treatment. The support network between staff and clients alike is a key component of lasting success in recovery.”

“My brother was struggling with addiction, and our family felt completely lost. Once he got to Wavecrest, everything changed. The housing was clean and comfortable, and the staff were truly amazing — attentive, compassionate, and supportive every step of the way. Thanks to Wavecrest, I feel like I’ve gotten my brother back.”

Comprehensive Drug Addiction Treatment Programs

We understand that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Every person who walks through our doors has unique experiences, challenges, and goals. That’s why we offer a full continuum of care designed to meet you where you are in your journey.

Medical Detox

The first step in recovery is often detoxification. Our medically supervised detox program helps you withdraw from substances safely and as comfortably as possible. With 24/7 medical oversight, you’ll be supported through withdrawal symptoms and prepared for the next phase of treatment.

Inpatient (Residential) Treatment

Our inpatient program provides a structured, immersive environment where you can focus entirely on healing. Patients receive round-the-clock care, evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches, and the support of peers on the same path.

Outpatient Treatment

For those who are transitioning from residential care or who need flexibility to continue work, school, or family responsibilities, outpatient treatment offers ongoing therapy and support. Options include Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP).

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many people struggling with drug addiction also face underlying mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Our dual diagnosis program ensures both substance use and mental health are treated together for lasting recovery.

Aftercare and Alumni Support

Recovery does not end when treatment ends. We provide relapse prevention planning, ongoing therapy, support groups, and an alumni program to help you stay connected and supported long after you leave our care.
