Community Social Model Advocates Inc is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1989 that operates alcohol and drug recovery homes in California. The organization provides substance use disorder treatment through residential programs that include both short-term and long-term stays. Services focus on structured recovery support, counseling, and behavioral treatment approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and trauma-related counseling. Screening, substance use assessments, and testing services are also part of program operations.
Programs primarily serve adult men, including transitional age young adults and individuals referred through the criminal justice system. The organization accepts clients receiving medication-assisted treatment prescribed by outside providers but does not directly provide opioid treatment services. Funding sources include government support, Medicare, and self-payment options.
The facility operates in Merced, a Central Valley city known for its agricultural surroundings and proximity to outdoor areas such as Yosemite National Park. The region experiences warm summers and mild winters, offering a quieter setting compared to larger metropolitan areas. Community Social Model Advocates Inc works within local county systems and provides recovery housing designed to support individuals living in a structured residential environment during treatment.
