About Treatment at Walter’s House
Walter’s House is an accredited dual diagnosis addiction recovery center for adults in Woodland, California, operating under Fourth & Hope, formerly known as the Yolo Wayfarer Center. They provide a continuum of care for the hungry and homeless by moving clients from the streets to stability in Woodland and Yolo County. Available programs include residential treatment, transitional living, supportive housing, and aftercare services.
Walter’s House provides a 44 bed residential drug rehab for men and women with gender specific dorms. This program addresses physical and mental health, substance use, employment and income needs, and housing. During your stay, you have access to restrooms, showers, laundry, transportation, phone, and mail services. You’ll also participate in counseling to help them overcome their addictions to alcohol, opioids, and other substances. Providers develop customized treatment plans based on your needs, such as individual, group, and family counseling, addiction education, life skills and relapse prevention training, crisis intervention, and aftercare planning.
The transitional/sober living program provides housing for up to 24 months along with case management, a house monitor, and a connection to outpatient substance use treatment.
Their parent company also offers a HUD funded permanent supportive housing program that provides housing for individuals and families who are chronically homeless. This is intended for individuals who would unlikely maintain permanent housing without ongoing support.
Walter’s House operates through community-provided donations and does not require insurance. However, if providers need to refer clients to outside providers for additional health or recovery services, those entities may be in-network with most commercial insurance. Verify your coverage with your individual provider because out of network benefits may vary.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance Abuse
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Creative Arts Therapy
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
