“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.”

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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
