About Alcohol/Drug Care Services Inc Waterfront Recovery Services
Waterfront Recovery Services — operated under Alcohol/Drug Care Services Inc — is a residential detox and treatment facility located at 2413 2nd Street in Eureka, California, in Humboldt County. The center offers medically managed detox alongside longer-term residential care, making it one of the few programs in the region where someone can move from acute withdrawal management directly into structured residential treatment without changing facilities.
The facility provides two core levels of care: Medical Detox and Residential Treatment. The medically managed detox component addresses withdrawal under clinical supervision, while the residential program delivers a full 90-day treatment experience. That extended timeline sets Waterfront Recovery Services apart from shorter programs — 90 days allows enough time to move through withdrawal, stabilize, and begin addressing the underlying patterns that drive substance use disorder.
The program draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Matrix System, and trauma-informed group work as its clinical backbone. Family recovery groups are integrated into the program, recognizing that addiction affects households, not just individuals. Case management is built into the treatment model, and the facility also incorporates life skills training, wellness practices, addiction education, and employment opportunities — practical tools designed to support re-entry into daily life after treatment concludes.
Waterfront Recovery Services explicitly serves men, women, and individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing — a population that is routinely underserved in addiction treatment settings. The facility also treats co-occurring disorders and trauma/PTSD alongside substance use disorder, and provides Child Welfare Services support. Payment options include Medicaid, Medi-Cal, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, covering a broad range of financial situations.
