About Cenikor Foundation
The Cenikor Foundation Waco campus operates at 3015 Herring Avenue in Waco, Texas, in McLennan County. As one of Cenikor’s flagship Texas locations, the site delivers a full continuum of substance use care: medical detoxification, residential rehabilitation, intensive outpatient programming, halfway housing for transitional living, and outpatient services. This range allows clients to enter care at the appropriate level of intensity and step down as recovery progresses without changing organizations.
Medical detox at Cenikor Waco provides supervised stabilization for adults arriving with active substance dependence. Clinical staff manage withdrawal symptoms safely and prepare clients to transition into residential treatment, which uses cognitive behavioral therapy, individual and group counseling, medication-assisted treatment where appropriate, personalized care plans, and aftercare planning to address the behavioral, emotional, and physiological dimensions of substance use disorder. The residential environment allows clients to focus on recovery while removed from the triggers and stressors of daily life.
Step-down options include intensive outpatient programming, which provides multiple sessions per week while clients return to work and family responsibilities, and sober living that supports the transition to independent recovery. Halfway housing on the broader Cenikor network is part of this transitional infrastructure. Cenikor Waco serves men, women, veterans, and individuals involved with the criminal justice system, with co-occurring mental health concerns addressed alongside substance use.
Cenikor is CARF accredited and accepts Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay, with payment assistance for those who qualify. The organization’s 24/7 admissions line at 1-888-CENIKOR provides assessment, insurance verification, and entry coordination. Prospective clients and family members are encouraged to call to learn about the Waco campus specifically and to begin the intake process for the most appropriate level of care.
