Alta Mira is designed for anyone seeking deep, lasting change. Located in a beautiful, comforting Sausalito setting, the program treats the whole person by untangling complex addictions alongside the mental health struggles that drive them. With proven success rates, clients receive personalized support through every stage of recovery, starting with a safe, 10-day medically supervised detox and moving smoothly into full residential care.

Clear the Path to a Better Future

True to its name, Alta Mira provides a "higher view" of recovery by treating addiction and mental health struggles at the same time, which greatly lowers the risk of relapse. Their team uses a wide variety of therapies and recovery styles: from traditional programs to modern and secular options, tailored to what works best for each individual. Clients also get the chance to practice using these new tools and coping skills every day while still in treatment, creating a solid foundation for a healthy future.

Let the World Slow Down at Alta Mira

Set on a Sausalito hillside, this historic mansion features stunning views of the San Francisco harbor and a large campus perfect for long walks. The program blends private and shared suites with chef-prepared meals, somatic therapies, and outdoor adventures. And because they recognize everyone has important responsibilities, a flexible technology policy permits approved phone and computer access after detox.

Prevent Relapse with Lifelong Accountability

The real test often begins after discharge, so Alta Mira has a lifelong support system in place. World-class clinicians lead regular alumni phone calls and arrange outpatient referrals when needed. Clients stay connected through weekly Zoom groups, an alumni app, and quarterly on-campus workshops. Flying in from across the country, alumni gather for clinical tune-ups. These powerful workshops dive into relationship dynamics, grief, and trauma, providing the accountability needed to sustain recovery.
