About Mcalister Institute- North Coastal Regional Recovery Center
Located in the beach town of Oceanside, California, the Mcalister Institute North Coastal Regional Recovery Center provides outpatient treatment to adults with co occurring mental health and substance use disorders. They accept Medi-Cal and offer a sliding fee scale to those who qualify. Grant funded program spots may be available too.
Licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services, the facility is easily accessible by public transportation, making it a convenient location for the community.
LGBTQ+ Inclusive Facility
Services are designed for adults 18 and older. The facility is LGBTQ+ inclusive, addressing the unique needs of members of this community with affirming and welcoming care. Court referred clients are also accepted here so you can get treatment that meets your sentencing requirements.
MAT and a Focus on Harm Reduction
Believing that “each individual has a positive purpose in life” and that recovery requires community support, they provide abundant harm reduction here. Treatment is culturally sensitive and trauma informed, emphasizing family involvement where appropriate. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available for both opioid and alcohol dependence, and referrals are offered for higher levels of care when needed.
I appreciate that they provide a wide range of wraparound services, including assessments, case management, vocational and housing assistance, education and relapse prevention planning. Life skills training and coping strategy development are paired with education and peer support to assist clients in every step of their recovery journey.
Nonjudgmental Environment
I found positive reviews from former clients, with many praising the supportive counselors and nonjudgmental environment. They highlight the individualized treatment plans focused on client needs. Several credit the program with helping them to rebuild relationships and regain stability.
