Awakenings by the Sea

They provide inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Seaside is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Seaside.

They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Seaside.

They offer a program for adult women, which not every center around Seaside does.

There is nothing else within 14 miles of Seaside, so the next option is a longer drive.

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Ask who to ring at two in the morning, and get the number written down.

A mental health condition alongside substance use does not make somebody a difficult admission. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.

A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.
