Foothills outside Los Angeles · Operating under California SB-XX pilot authorization
Every life is worth saving — exactly as it is today.
Waterfall Springs is a supervised consumption and overdose prevention site. Sterile supplies, medical oversight, and a calm doorway to care — for whenever someone is ready.
What we offer
Quiet, clinical, judgment-free.
Every service at Waterfall Springs is grounded in evidence-based harm reduction. We meet people where they are, and we keep them alive long enough to choose what comes next.
Supervised consumption rooms
Clean, private booths monitored by trained medical staff. If something goes wrong, we respond in seconds — not minutes.
Naloxone & overdose reversal
Free naloxone, training, and rescue care. Every visitor leaves with the means to save someone else's life too.
Sterile supplies & drug checking
New syringes, pipes, cookers, and fentanyl/xylazine test strips. Fewer infections, fewer surprises.
On-site medical care
Wound care, MAT (buprenorphine/methadone) referrals, HIV/HCV testing, and primary care navigation.
Peer support & counseling
People with lived experience walk alongside you — whatever 'progress' looks like in your life today.
Connection to treatment
When you're ready, we have warm handoffs to detox, residential treatment, and long-term recovery housing.
Our approach
Harm reduction, in plain language.
Supervised consumption sites have operated in Canada, Europe, and Australia for decades. Across more than 200 facilities worldwide, no one has ever died of an overdose inside one. We exist because dying alone in a parking lot is not a consequence anyone deserves.
- We do not provide or sell drugs. Visitors bring their own.
- We do not pressure anyone into treatment — but we're always ready when you are.
- We operate under medical licensure and county public-health oversight.
- Everything is free, confidential, and walk-in.
The place
A few acres of quiet, off a long road.
Waterfall Springs sits on forty acres of oak meadow in the foothills north of Los Angeles. Most clinical settings feel like crisis. Ours feels like the kind of place you'd be invited to rest. That matters — people return to spaces that treat them like they belong.
Gardens, shaded benches, a community kitchen, and Sunday family days for visitors' loved ones.
Plan a visit
No appointment. No paperwork. No questions.
Walk in any day of the week. If you can't get here, call us — we can arrange transportation from most of the greater Los Angeles area.
Support our work
A $40 donation keeps one person alive for another month.
Waterfall Springs is a registered 501(c)(3). We're funded by individuals, foundations, and a small public-health grant. Every dollar buys naloxone, sterile supplies, and the staff hours that keep our doors open.
