Seascape Recovery Center is the Watsonville campus of Elevate Addiction Services, a nationally recognized addiction treatment provider with more than two decades of operating experience. Set on Gaffey Road in Santa Cruz County, the campus delivers medical detox, residential rehabilitation, and intensive outpatient care for adults seeking lasting recovery from substance use disorder. Most clients come for the proprietary Elevate Method, an evidence-informed 12-step alternative that has shown outcomes exceeding national norms.

The clinical team is anchored by Medical Director Dr. Alok Krishna, MD, with 25 years of addiction medicine experience, and Clinical Director Tim Sinnott, LMFT, who brings 40 years to the role. Other key leaders include Caitlin Nelson, CADC-I, Family Support Supervisor; Tommy Legan, CADC-CAS, IOP Director; and Michael G. DiPalma, CADC-CAS, Lead Admissions Counselor. The team integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with the Elevate Method’s life-skills curriculum, designed to help clients build sustainable sober living routines.

Seascape carries dual accreditation from the Joint Commission and CARF, signaling third-party validation of clinical quality and safety. Elevate accepts most major private insurance plans and the website displays in-network relationships with UMR, Magellan, Optum, United Healthcare, UBH, Cigna, Blue Shield, Kaiser, MultiPlan, Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, HMC Healthworks, MHN, and Aetna. Insurance verification and admissions are available 24/7.

Clients at Seascape benefit from a comprehensive recovery approach that goes beyond traditional rehab. The Elevate Method emphasizes alternatives to 12-Step programs for those who haven’t responded to AA/NA, while still offering 12-Step tracks for those who prefer them.
