About McAlister Institute North Coastal Regional Recovery Center NCRRC
McAlister Institute North Coastal Regional Recovery Center (NCRRC) is an alcohol and drug treatment provider in Oceanside, California. The organization has over 40 years of experience treating clients, and they offer 24 programs to ensure comprehensive treatment. The treatment model builds the foundation of recovery through mental health treatment, intervention, counseling, and community referrals.
McAlister strives to provide low cost, high quality treatment services and accept insurance from most major companies, as well as Medi-Cal and Medicare. They have an income based sliding fee scale for eligible individuals.
Beautiful Coastal Setting for Addiction Treatment
McAlister offers treatment facilities throughout San Diego County. The Oceanside facility offers adult outpatient treatment programs in a beautiful coastal setting less than two miles from the beach. I read that many clients have praised the counseling staff for being invested in client progress, relatable, and friendly.
SAFE Housing
This specific location in Oceanside features outpatient care for adults. They have therapy options, assessments, and aftercare programs. Case management and coordination can connect clients with acute conditions to other locations in their network, such as detox, care centers for teens, and for women.
McAlister also offers a program that I think will help many women. It’s called SAFE and is for women referred by Child Welfare Services (CWS). The program helps women who are working to reunite with their children and offers them a safe, clean, supervised living environment for themselves and their children as they work toward independence.
