In November of 2022, Singing Trees Recovery Center announced that they’d be closing indefinitely due to staffing issues and the costs of maintaining an aging facility. This would have been a huge loss for the community as this facility has served as a drug detox and rehabilitation center in Southern Humboldt for nearly 31 years. 

Fortunately, with funding from AEDC, we are excited to share that Singing Trees Recovery Center has reopened under the new ownership of the non-profit organization Pure Solution Family Services, a California-based mental health service agency. When news of the closure broke last year, the Founder of Pure Solution Family Services Amber Bedell reached out to the owners who were hoping for someone to reopen the space for its original purpose as a recovery center. Bedell partnered with AEDC to secure funding to help improve the facility, payroll, and other necessities required to operate successfully.

Singing Trees Recovery Center, located at 2061 Highway 101 in Garberville, California, is a residential treatment facility for individuals struggling with alcohol and drug abuse. Recognizing the growing demand for substance use disorder treatment in the community, Pure Solution Family Services is dedicated to making holistic, high-quality care accessible. 

With a highly trained team of experts composed of licensed therapists, social workers, and medical professionals, Singing Trees Recovery Center is committed to crafting personalized treatment plans that address individual needs and aspirations. The facility will also provide a variety of services, including 14-day and 30-day rehabilitation programs, group and individual counseling, and a diverse set of holistic healing activities like yoga and prioritized time in nature. The rest of the services offered will include:

• Individual & Family Counseling: Helping individuals navigate issues like stress management, anxiety, family conflict, and more.
• Parental Coaching: Helping parents develop better communication skills and foster healthy parent-child relationships.
• Personal Development Programs: Helping individuals overcome limitations and meet personal goals.
• Medication Services
• Detox services: 7-Day Detoxification
• Residential Treatment Programs: 14-Day and 30-Day Residential Treatment Programs for alcohol and other drug abuse.
• Aftercare services will be provided for each client for up to one year following successful completion of residential treatment.
• A Continuing Care Program is also available for their 30-Day graduates.

We are thrilled to announce the reopening of Singing Trees Recovery Center, a vital resource in the Southern Humboldt community for over three decades. With a commitment to accessibility and quality care, we know Pure Solution’s team of dedicated professionals will bring a new level of essential support to those in recovery.

At the beginning of June, the Leadership Redwood Coast 2023 cohort gathered in Eastern Humboldt for LRC Session 4. Together they embarked on an adventure, exploring a diverse array of locations from Blue Lake and Korbel, to the Humboldt County Airport and the charming town of Orick. During the cohort’s time together, conversations revolved around infrastructure innovation, as well as human-centered design and systems thinking. 

Content included a deep dive into important topics such as forestry, logging, and land management, as well as the vital necessities of airports, highways, and public transportation. These discussions not only broadened our perspectives but also provided valuable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of modern infrastructure. The LRC cohort ended their session learning about the history of Orick—a place brimming with potential for tourism and recreation, but lacking the infrastructure and workforce to pursue it. They explored its unique offerings and potential avenues for growth and development, adding an extra layer of excitement to the session. 

Leadership Redwood Coast graduation is scheduled for July. We can't help but reflect on the growth, camaraderie, and knowledge we've gained along the way! At the final session, each participant will give a presentation about their own personal integration plan they developed throughout the program. 

Stay tuned for more updates and inspiring stories from the Leadership Redwood Coast cohort! To keep up with their adventures, follow LRC on Instagram @leadershiprc or learn more by visiting leadershiprc.org.
