About
About Social Science Services Inc
Social Science Services Inc., known to the community as Cedar House Life Change Center, is a long-tenured nonprofit addiction treatment provider serving Bloomington and the broader San Bernardino and Riverside County region. Founded in 1973 and now in its sixth decade of operation, Cedar House has built its reputation on accessible, evidence-based rehabilitation backed by a sliding-scale fee structure and acceptance of Medi-Cal alongside private insurance.
The program is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services for both residential and outpatient treatment, and CARF accredits the organization at the program level. Cedar House operates a continuum that begins with withdrawal management for clients who need medically supervised stabilization, expands into medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, residential treatment at the main campus and the Maple House location, a specialized perinatal track for pregnant and parenting women, Sanctuary House sober living, and outpatient programming.
Clinically, Cedar House emphasizes individualized treatment plans and a compassionate, peer-informed approach: many counselors have themselves navigated recovery, which the organization treats as a credentialing asset rather than a marketing line. Bilingual English/Spanish staff and interpreter services keep the program accessible to a diverse community, and family involvement is treated as a core component of long-term recovery rather than an optional add-on.
Cedar House is in-network with a range of commercial carriers including Aetna, Anthem, Carelon, Cigna, First Health, Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Molina, and Beacon Health Options. The team accepts Medi-Cal, private insurance, self-pay, and sliding-scale arrangements, and runs Overdose Prevention Training as part of its community-engagement work alongside an active alumni network and recovery community programming.
