About Cedar Grove Counseling Inc
Cedar Grove Counseling Inc is an outpatient substance use treatment center in Port Angeles, WA, serving Clallam County and the West End since 2005. The center offers Outpatient Program and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) levels of care, with specialized tracks for a wide range of populations including veterans, adolescents, and individuals with co-occurring disorders.
Cedar Grove Counseling Inc has been a cornerstone of substance abuse treatment on Washington's Olympic Peninsula since 2005. Located at 806 South Vine Street in Port Angeles, the center serves residents across Clallam County and the West End, providing confidential outpatient drug and alcohol treatment to individuals and families navigating longer-term recovery. It is not a residential or detox facility — it is a community-rooted outpatient recovery center built for people who are ready to do the sustained work of getting and staying well.
The center offers two distinct levels of outpatient care: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These structures allow individuals to receive meaningful, ongoing treatment while maintaining their responsibilities at home, work, or school. The IOP track is particularly suited to those who need more structured support than a standard outpatient schedule provides, making it a practical option for people stepping down from higher levels of care or those whose circumstances require a more intensive outpatient commitment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors Cedar Grove's clinical approach, giving clients concrete tools to identify and shift the thought patterns that drive substance use. The center also addresses trauma and PTSD alongside addiction, reflecting an understanding that co-occurring disorders — mental health conditions that exist alongside substance use — are common and require integrated treatment. Relapse-prevention planning is built into the program, so clients leave with a structured aftercare framework rather than an open-ended discharge.
Cedar Grove Counseling serves a notably broad range of populations: adolescents, young adults, seniors, men, women, veterans, pregnant women, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those who are court-ordered into treatment. Payment options include Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay, keeping the program accessible across income levels. For anyone in Port Angeles or the surrounding West End communities who is looking for a recovery center that meets people where they are — and has done so for two decades — Cedar Grove offers a grounded, community-oriented place to begin or continue that work.
Outpatient & IOP: Recovery That Fits Your Life
Cedar Grove Counseling offers two levels of outpatient care designed for people at different stages of their recovery journey. The standard Outpatient Program provides regular counseling and support for those who are stable enough to engage in treatment on a less intensive schedule. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is structured for individuals who need a more concentrated level of care — whether they are stepping down from a residential treatment setting, managing a dual diagnosis, or simply require more support than a once-a-week session can provide.
Both tracks are delivered in an outpatient format, meaning clients return home each day. This model supports real-world recovery: clients can practice the skills they are building in sessions within their actual home environments, relationships, and communities. Cedar Grove operates Monday through Friday, with hours extending from 9 AM to 5 PM on most weekdays and afternoon hours on Fridays, giving clients scheduling flexibility to balance treatment with daily obligations.
Treating the Whole Picture: Co-Occurring Disorders and Trauma
Substance use rarely exists in isolation. Cedar Grove Counseling formally addresses co-occurring disorders — situations where a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD occurs alongside addiction — as a core part of its treatment model. Trauma and PTSD are explicitly listed among the conditions the center treats, an important distinction for people whose substance use is intertwined with unresolved trauma or adverse life experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary clinical method used at Cedar Grove. CBT is a structured, skills-based approach that helps clients recognize the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors — and develop practical strategies to interrupt harmful patterns. For clients dealing with both trauma and substance use, this integrated approach within a single outpatient setting reduces the burden of navigating multiple systems of care.
Who Cedar Grove Serves
Cedar Grove Counseling works with one of the broader ranges of populations found in any outpatient program in Clallam County. The center accepts adolescents, young adults ages 18 to 25, adults, and seniors. Specialized populations include veterans, pregnant women, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those who have been referred through the court system. Services are provided in English.
This breadth matters for a region like the Olympic Peninsula, where treatment options are geographically limited and a single center often needs to serve a wide cross-section of the community. Cedar Grove accepts Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay, making it one of the more financially accessible recovery centers in the area. Families supporting loved ones through the treatment process are encouraged to reach out directly at (360) 452-2443 or via email at [email protected] to understand how to get started.
Aftercare and Relapse-Prevention Planning
Completing a treatment program is not the end of the recovery process — it is often the beginning of its most demanding phase. Cedar Grove Counseling incorporates relapse-prevention planning into its standard care, ensuring that clients leave the program with a concrete, personalized plan for maintaining sobriety after their formal treatment ends. This kind of structured aftercare support is a key component of sustainable recovery and reflects the center's orientation toward long-term outcomes rather than short-term stabilization.
For individuals who have previously struggled to maintain sobriety after leaving treatment, having a clear relapse-prevention framework in place before discharge can make a meaningful difference. Cedar Grove's outpatient model also naturally builds continuity — clients remain embedded in their home communities throughout treatment, which means the skills they develop are being practiced in the same environment where they will live their recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What levels of care does Cedar Grove Counseling offer?
Cedar Grove Counseling offers two outpatient levels of care: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

The IOP is designed for individuals who need a higher level of outpatient support.
Does Cedar Grove Counseling treat co-occurring mental health conditions?

Cedar Grove formally treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, meaning clients who are dealing with both substance use and a mental health condition such as trauma or PTSD can receive integrated care. Trauma and PTSD are among the specific conditions the center addresses alongside substance use treatment.
What therapy approach does Cedar Grove use?
Cedar Grove Counseling uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as its primary clinical method.
