Recovery Point is a drug and alcohol treatment program that has been operating since 1989 at Santa Maria, CA. The program is state licensed for outpatient and inpatient treatment and is sanctioned by State Medi-Cal. Recovery Point has the support of the County Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, as well as County Probation and Parole Officers and County Judges.
The non-profit Good Samaritan Services of Santa Maria operates Recovery Point as one of its multiple programs to combat homelessness and substance abuse. This innovative treatment has been recognized nationally. Former President Bush recommended Recovery Point as one of his “Thousand Points of Light” for its work in drug and alcohol addiction.
The clients served by Good Samaritan’s outpatient services are often residents of agency’s residential programs and benefit from additional treatment support; they are on a waiting list for entry to a residential program; are referred by a local agency for therapeutic support; or, self-identify as needing additional assistance beyond their personal recovery activities.
Regardless, they often are attempting to resolve some form of trauma event. Trauma is a contributing factor to substance use and perpetuates a destructive pattern of self-harm. Untreated or poorly treated trauma events undermine successful recovery and frequently emerge as co-occurring mental health conditions. In response, GSS has established clinical partnerships and continually seeks support from the Adults Mental Health Services to address these conditions.
