The difference between a "County Certified home" and a non-certified home is very simple. A Certified home is recognized by not only the District Attorney's Office as being very structured but the judicial system as well as the Probation & Parole Dept.  What this means is that their are yearly inspections of all facilities by the state of CA. (residential) as well as the County of Santa Clara and also the city of San Jose. Their is an abundance of rules and regulations that must be followed to maintain a perfect inspection record.

Advantages of being Certified

The strongest advantage of being Certified is that you will be placed in a structured, supportive environment that will only benefit your level of treatment. By providing structure to start the foundation of the recovery process. This will help establish the over all chance of staying clean and sober and maintaining long term sobriety. By receiving support which is crucial to feeling a part of ones self you will start building on your long term sobriety foundation. Rest assured that at West Coast Recovery you will always receive long term support.
