Nonprofit, Coastal Setting With Integrated Detox And Treatment
Located near the Santa Cruz coastline, this nonprofit program offers both medically supervised detox and 24/7 residential treatment under one roof. Clients can stabilize and continue care without transferring facilities. Length of stay is determined by ongoing clinical assessments and personalized care plans. The environment is calm and restorative, designed to help residents establish structure and confidence through individual counseling, group therapy, and community-based recovery meetings.
Perinatal Program And Family Support
Janus operates one of the region’s only residential programs for women who are pregnant or parenting young children. This program blends addiction treatment with parenting support, creating a safe, family-centered space for recovery. Staff collaborate with community partners to coordinate prenatal care, parenting education, and family involvement. The goal is to strengthen both recovery and family stability, ensuring parents can maintain their progress after returning home.
Evidence-Based, Inclusive Care With MAT
Clinical care at Janus integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse-prevention strategies, substance use counseling, trauma-related counseling, and 12-step facilitation. When appropriate, medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are included for alcohol and opioid use disorders. The center provides health screenings and education on tobacco use, HIV, and hepatitis, with services available in Spanish and sign language. Programs are open to adults and young adults of all genders, and staff are trained to provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients.
Whole-Person Healing And Long-Term Recovery Support
Beyond therapy, Janus emphasizes holistic wellness through yoga, acupuncture, and art therapy, along with fitness sessions, swimming, hiking, and beach walks. Residents share home-like spaces, including a kitchenette and lounge for relaxation. Recovery support extends beyond treatment with transportation assistance, peer mentoring, housing services, and employment counseling or training. Discharge planning starts early, including overdose prevention education and lifetime aftercare groups that help clients maintain connection and stability well into recovery.

Quality and Trust
Trust Score
A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.
Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

View all facilities in FloridaHow we research treatment facilities
Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
