Empire Hotel Eharc Inc

Serving Northern California since 1971, the Empire Recovery Center is dedicated to the furtherance of recovery from substance use disorders in social model settings. The residential and withdrawal management programs are licensed and certified by the California Department of Health Care Services: #450001AN, 06/01/2025 - 05/31/2027 www.dhcs.ca.gov

The programs are community-based, peer-group oriented settings that provide shelter, withdrawal management (detox), and residential and outpatient recovery services to individuals who have alcohol and drug addiction service needs. A community-represented Board of Directors governs this non-profit corporation. It is staffed by qualified and empathetic individuals who help to maintain a supportive environment and provide recovery opportunities. Evidence-based materials are used, including “Living in Balance,” “Thinking for a Change,” “Relapse Prevention", and “Seeking Safety.” Curriculum includes motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, life skills education, cultural competency, supporting diversity, and introduction to 12-step recovery program supports. Program services include a continuum of care through non-medical withdrawal management (detox), residential treatment (30, 60, 90 days), and outpatient services. The Empire Recovery Center has recently expanded its services with a sober living program and has received a grant to begin medically assisted detoxification services in the near future.
