About Windward Way Recovery LLC Drug and Alcohol Detox Center
Windward Way Recovery LLC Drug and Alcohol Detox Center is a residential medical detox facility located at 316 Hamilton Street in Costa Mesa, California, within Orange County. The center serves men and women throughout Southern California who are seeking structured, supervised withdrawal management in a residential setting. It is licensed and certified by the California Department of Healthcare Services under multiple active program IDs, and holds dual accreditation from both The Joint Commission — including its Gold Seal of Approval — and CARF, two of the most rigorous standards bodies in addiction treatment.
The core level of care at Windward Way is medical detox, a residential program designed to manage withdrawal from drug and alcohol dependence under direct clinical oversight. Addressing alcohol addiction, drug addiction, substance abuse, and prescription medication addiction, the facility provides a medically supervised detox environment for individuals who require structured withdrawal management before transitioning to further care. This residential model means patients remain on-site throughout the detox process rather than returning home between appointments.
Windward Way carries recognition from LegitScript and is a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, credentials that reflect adherence to verified operational and ethical standards. Following detox, the center offers post-treatment support and family support as part of its aftercare framework — an acknowledgment that the people surrounding a patient are often navigating the same crisis. Admission inquiries are received seven days a week between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Windward Way accepts both men and women seeking medically supervised detox programs, and the facility works with private insurance as well as a variety of payment options to reduce financial barriers to entry. For individuals and families in Southern California weighing same-day or urgent detox decisions, the combination of Joint Commission accreditation, CARF certification, California state licensure, and a residential medical detox program positions Windward Way as a verifiable, credentialed option in the Orange County region.
