Home-Like Residential Setting in Coastal Homer

Compass serves adult men in a private home setting in Homer. The environment is intentionally small and personal, with views of the surrounding landscape. Clients stay in private or shared rooms and have access to comfortable common spaces, such as indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, a kitchen and dining space for meals, and a quiet reading area.

Faith-Based Mind-Body-Spirit Care With Clinical Therapy

Treatment blends spiritual principles with proven clinical and therapeutic techniques. Services include comprehensive assessments, individual and group counseling, trauma-informed treatment, and care for co-occurring substance use and mental health needs. Approaches may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, anger management, and 12-step facilitation. Compass also accepts clients who are using medications for addiction treatment (MAT) when prescribed elsewhere.

Residential Support for Men and Fathers With Young Children

Compass is designed for adult men, including some fathers who may be able to bring children under age 10 when custody and availability allow. The program partners with community agencies to help maintain healthier family relationships during treatment, an option that can matter for men who want to stay connected to parenting responsibilities while they focus on recovery.

Structure, Practical Skills, and Planning for What’s Next

Daily life includes structured activities that reinforce routine and successful living techniques. Alongside counseling, clients receive case management and recovery support services such as peer support, help accessing social services, housing-related support, and employment counseling or training. Continuing care and discharge planning are part of the program, with follow-up after discharge and overdose education to support a safer transition out of residential care.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

How 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.
