Recovery Within Reach
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The Inland Empire is battling a drug epidemic. People are suffering in their addiction, and families are struggling to survive the challenges that come with it. Drug and alcohol addiction leads to crime, poverty and even death. We aim to provide the most effective care and resources for individuals who suffer with substance use disorder, mental illness and homelessness.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Maple House Women with Children
Maple House is a residential program at Cedar House that offers a supportive environment for women to recover and get the skills they need to improve their lives while their children grow in a safe, stable home. Here, women, ages 18 and older, are a part of a social model recovery program with a 12-step method of recovery. In addition to individual treatment planning, individual and group therapy, alcohol/drug education, life skills education, parenting skills classes and anger management classes, Maple House offers social and recreational activities for our patients and their children.
Withdrawal Management
Cedar House provides comprehensive services to stabilize our clients' physical condition, including medically-appropriate step down medications to help ease withdrawal symptoms.
Adult Residential Program
Our Adult Residential Program offers a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum that addresses a wide array of issues confronting men and women who are seeking a life change.
Outpatient Program
Our Outpatient Program is designed to allow participants the ability to maintain employment and family life while having access to a clean and sober supportive network. With a sliding scale fee based on your income and family size, treatment is affordable for anyone.
Family Group
Family Group discussions cover topics ranging from healthy communication in relationships and coping skills to behavior modification and anger management.
Co-occurring Disorders Program

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Cedar House strives to serve individuals and families who suffer from the effects of substance abuse with individualized treatment programs.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Cedar House serves the most vulnerable and marginalized members of the San Bernardino and Riverside County communities every day with proven treatment methods for substance use and co-occurring disorders. We believe that treatment should respect the dignity and value of the individual’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs. We care about educating our clients on the services we provide and allowing them to share in planning our individualized approach to treatment. It is our philosophy to provide the highest quality services that hold the greatest promise of successful outcomes for our clients in the least restrictive setting.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Cedar House Life Change Center (CHLCC) is a multi-facility 174-bed treatment program dedicated to assisting adults in overcoming the challenges of chemical dependence, with a majority of clients funded through Medi-Cal. CHLCC provides withdrawal management, residential, and outpatient services for adult men and women. We also operate Maple House, a perinatal residential program able to accommodate 11 pregnant or parenting women and up to 15 of their young children. Additionally, a sober living facility called Sanctuary House in Bloomington for adult males and a co-ed housing program called Oasis House for transitional age youth located in Apple Valley are part of the overall continuum of care. CHLCC also provides programming for families affected by chemical dependency and a state-approved Driving Under the Influence Program. All of CHLCC’s treatment programs are licensed and certified by the State of California Department of Health Care Services.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since 1973, Cedar House has helped tens of thousands of individuals find peace in recovery. We envision expanding our facilities to serve the growing need for treatment in the Inland Empire.
